Hello, citizens! Have you missed us? We are back to introduce a grand new update to you.



First things first: we added two new launch options for gaming preferences based on your hardware. Now players can choose between:

• Default Beholder 3 launch option (using Unity’s Universal Render Pipeline) designed for low and mid performance machines – it ensures smooth gameplay and optimal performance on hardware with lower capabilities.
  
• Beholder 3 using High Definition Render Pipeline for high-performance machines and more demanding hardware, providing a better picture quality.

List of changes (may contain spoilers):
