1.5 Beta patch has made weapons fire disappear somewhat

from Sins Forums

Ok, this is a problem that I did not have before. In bigger battles where there are a lot of ships, some of the weapons fire visually disappears, like for example, I can hear my Ragnarov Titan firing but I can't see the fire. It makes the battles look really boring and this is not a problem I had before. I understand that some of the weapons fire might disappear if the game gets really laggy but it's happened even when the game is playing at a smooth framerate, it's super annoying. Any way I can revert back to the older version?

There's also a set limit to the amount of particle effects that the game will display at one time. This is set in your user.settings file and can be changed manually in notepad if you want to make it higher. I wouldn't though, not all particle effects cause the same amount of lag, so its possible while you can have X particles of one type on screen just fine, the same amount of Y particles would kill your framerate.
