PARANOIA: Below the Shadows v2.0b1 Changelog


This major overhaul focuses heavily on optimization, performance, and atmospheric gameplay. Keep in mind that this is an active beta build; bugs, unexpected crashes, or unusual mod behavior may occur. Everything is subject for changes.
The beta testing phase is expected to run for several months. Updates will be rolled out every 1 to 3 weeks.
Since many mods have been removed and/or reconfigured, your world is very likely not to load, or may not load properly.
If you want to keep playing your current world (if on v1.x.x), remain on your current modpack version, or download this beta as a separate profile instance in CurseForge to test before migrating.
While this build is supposed to run better than legacy releases, know your hardware's capabilities before pushing high rendering distances, heavy shaders, or extreme screen resolutions, because it's likely not going to run at 4K 120FPS HDR. Take everything I said with a grain of salt.
If you've found a bug or two, or have suggestions to make the experience better, I refer you to join my Discord server.
macOS version coming soon.
