NVIDIA Driver Crash Workaround
In the wake of the recent NVIDIA driver 382.33 and 382.53 updates, we've been getting reports of Raw Data crashing for some of our players--this is a global issue for VR games that use Unreal Engine 4.
The dev team is hard at work on a hotfix that we hope to deploy early next week, but in the meantime, we have a workaround for those of you experiencing this issue.
Thank you for your patience, and keep sending us bugs so we can zap them!
Regards,
The Raw Data dev team

State of Raw Data: Part 2 (E3 Edition)
Hey everyone,
Last year, as the Raw Data team was about to begin at an extended period of crucial development, we decided to update the community on the State of Raw Data. Now, with E3 (and some very exciting game news) just around the corner, we thought it was a perfect time to revisit you guys and provide an update. So here we are with the State of Raw Data, E3 Edition!
Raw Data and its awesome player community have been essential to Survios’ growth and development—so many of you enlisted in SyndiK8 the first week, even the first day, it hit Early Access, and you’ve all been a crucial component of its evolution since then. Your feedback has made possible not just bug fixes, but nuanced Active VR mechanics, powerful yet balanced individual heroes, ever-more-difficult mission challenges, and an engaging interwoven storyline. You guys rock and mean so much to us, and that’s why we wanted to address you directly concerning some of the additions and changes coming to Raw Data.
So I’ll get right to it: when’s the next update? Good news, everyone! We have one huge update slated to come out this summer: Update 0.7. After Update 0.6 brought Oculus Rift+Touch compatibility and cross-platform online play to Raw Data, we shifted our focus back to content—a lot of it.
Throughout this year in Early Access, we’ve sometimes had to make hard decisions regarding content priorities, but with 0.7, we’ve been able to revisit and realize several of those delayed ideas. Bringing fresh gameplay that adds a whole new level of replayability, 0.7 is arguably the most ambitious update we’ve had to date, which seems fitting considering what’s coming after. Over the next several weeks, we’re going to reveal more news and content about what’s to come in this thrilling new chapter of Raw Data’s development saga. Check out the first teaser below...

Often requested and hotly anticipated, PvP has finally come to Raw Data with Hostile Takeover, an all-new game mode that pits optimized versions of your favorite heroes in SyndiK8 vs. Eden Corp showdowns! (We're also adding joystick locomotion as an option in 0.7 for those of you who are apprehensive about teleshifting in PvP.) If you want to be among the first to put your Bishop sharpshooter skills or Saija ninja flair to the test against your fellow operatives, sign up for our Raw Data: Hostile Takeeover PvP Closed Beta Weekends this summer: RawDataGame.com/HostileTakeover
After Update 0.7 is Raw Data V1. That’s right: the game will officially be out of Early Access and complete. We’re absolutely thrilled to bring you the conclusion to our narrative journey, but don’t worry: it doesn’t end there. We’ll still be here engaging with you all and hopefully jumping in to join you for some robot and player decimation alike!
We can’t wait for you to experience all of Raw Data’s new content, so if you want to hear all of Survios’ E3 news straight from the source, follow us on our social media channels:
We’ll be streaming and posting LIVE from the E3 show floor, including hosting some Q&As with the dev team, so stay tuned to our channels for everything VR at E3!
As always, thank you so much for your continued support of Raw Data and Survios, and your ongoing passion for VR content and development.
Signing off,
The Raw Data team

Hotfix 0.6.4 Now Live!
We've just pushed Raw Data Hotfix 0.6.4 live, so be sure to update your game! This hotfix comes courtesy of information gleaned from our gameplay analytics data, which revealed that overall player progression throughout Raw Data's missions isn't, well, progressing.
Since we've added a lot of engaging new narrative content, especially in the later missions, it's become a priority for us that more players get to experience it. In this hotfix, we're making some overall tweaks to the game mechanics to ensure more players get to see each level of Eden Corp and become fully immersed in the story behind Raw Data's robot slaughter.
As always, our devs are happy to address any questions you have, and we thank you for your ongoing feedback and bug reports!
Edited to add:
In response to some concerns our players have expressed about this hotfix: we can assure you that none of Raw Data's core gameplay mechanics or AI behavior have been modified. We have made some minor adjustments to player and Data Core health on Casual and Normal difficulty settings, but for those seasoned SyndiK8 operatives itching for some challenging robot carnage, Hard and Nightmare modes remain unchanged--those bots are just as brutal as ever!
As always, we hear and appreciate your feedback. Thank you for sharing it with us and for your continued support of Survios and Raw Data.
