In today's small update we're adding MetaRenderer back. Since we still don't have enough information how it performs in Low/Mid tier PC's, we made it optional.
When you launch Half-Life: Restored, it will ask you if you want to launch with or without MetaRenderer.
If you have a Low/Mid tier PC and want to contribute, please try to launch and report your experience or any errors with MetaRenderer in Half-Life: Restored's Discussions tab.
