r_ext_multisample_default_fb
rend2
Needs review. The inventory/provenance evidence is recorded, but some behavior, options, or attribution still lacks a direct user-facing source.
Engine-managed. The game maintains this value itself, so it is not a setting to change by hand: it is read-only after registration (CVAR_ROM).
Controls r_ext_multisample_default_fb in the engine-shared module. Consult the cited behavior reads before relying on values not listed here.
