r_dynamicGlowBloom
rend2
Needs review. The inventory/provenance evidence is recorded, but some behavior, options, or attribution still lacks a direct user-facing source.
Controls the rend2 dynamic-glow bloom strength. Zero skips the bloom pass; positive values up to the enforced maximum of 2 are passed to the high-pass shader as bloom strength.
