Synth Riders’ October 8 update notes add Neon Bloom to Quest and Steam Frame. The effect gives illuminated game elements a surrounding glow; the Advanced Graphics settings contain its control, with Low as the default.

A separate set of fixes for PC recording

For Steam PC VR, the developer lists fixes to camera-angle arrows and preview behavior, including unwanted jumps when an axis is locked. Camera smoothing can now be turned off.

One issue remains: the notes warn that opening the Avatar Mirror alongside the Custom Camera preview affects performance. The developer advises closing the camera panel when using the mirror.
