Strange Particle Emission

Hello, it would appear as though active agents and objects alike in-world seem to emit particles. It would seem as though scripts are causing the particle emissions, and I have checked the debug menu (among others) multiple times but have not found the cause. I've had to resort to using windlight as my main viewer as the only way to hide these particles is by turning all particles off, which basically sucks. Help would be much appreciated, as I have spent too many weeks attempting to remedy this problem.

i think turning down max particle count is the only way to shut off particle displays, but adjusting draw distance might help a lil also. You described this as strange behavior-is there by any chance a scripted object attached to you that you werent aware of tageting particles on ppl? try searching for "worn" or attached" in your inventory to see what you are wearing.

better you switch off "Show Updates" with Ctrl-Alt-Shift-U

i just took a look at the pic you sent-you have set 'see all invisible attachments/objects'-click ctrl + alt + t at same time to turn off this option.


this option is very helpful when you need to find an attchment for editing-use the same comand to turn it on;
