The design is absolutely incredible. In fact, rend2 makes it look as if it is rendered in a far more advanced engine, like Unreak Engine 4.

Unfortunately, I can't test the map with rend2 activated, since my PC can't really handle it.

Hey Lancelot. Thank you for your kind words.

Just wanted to know if you actually tried using rend2 or if you "just" assume your PC can't handle it? Would be interested in your pc config (if thats ok for you) if you have tested it and it doesn't work properly.

I want to get Rend2 working in SWGL to really experience the map, but wait is Rend2 still only MP? I haven't kept up-to-date on this.

I installed rend2 with the default settings and while the map looks really good, it doesn't look like the screenshots here. Mainly, it's a lot darker. 
Are there any settings you suggest using for rend2 instead of the default ones, or specifically for this map? Or is this a HDR thing and it's tone mapping (my monitor isn't HDR)?
P.S. I am correctly running rd-rend2 renderer, not vanilla (see screenshots).

There's two cvars that need to be enabled for proper lighting on that map. r_hdr and r_floatLightmap. In the linked ui mod its the HDR and the HDR Lighting support options. The HDR setting does not refer to HDR monitor output, but calculating all colors in a bigger colorspace.

Suggested cvars would be r_cubemapping 1; r_deluxemapping 1; r_parallaxMapping 1; r_tonemapping  1; r_autoexposure 1; r_hdr 1; r_floatLightmap 1
