Has anyone noticed their particles scripts not working as effectively as before? I noticed this yesterday, I had never touched the script, reset it, but the particle count stayed weaker than before the update. I also heard others had the same problem. Is it just a bug, or a new feature?  And should all particle scripts be modded to higher particle count and such?  And I didn't have time to bug report it, or ask live-help either..

Low Particle Count
12-02-2006 02:57
Hey there, actually been researching this pretty extensively myself over the last month or so - particle effects that appeared gapless at 1024 max count pre(few)patches appear weakened even at 8192 count now.
The best I've been able to timeline this is around the same time they implemented small particles not rendering unless at a close distance; though I'm not 100% positive about this.
I have contacted several Lindens over some time, the dev team all claims to have not touched anything regarding the render count at any time; however most people I've mentioned it to inworld have definitely noticed a gimped particle render count.
Anyway, bring it up to them; maybe eventually something will get done.

It is december again. people will be putting up snow machines everywhere. So if a person is generation 8000 particals of snow 500 meter above but only 32 meter away in the horizanal plane they will be sucking up all hte particle in the area. Even though there are out of visual range the map is treated as a flat 2D map. Kind of dumb. If you notice. your fountians and such are not working like they should. Turn down the draw distance and if that still does not help. Trying flying up and see if there is anybody in the area hoggin all the particles up. Try talking to them nicely to turn the spawn rate down a little. Last year had some one try to spwan over 32,000 next to me and 500 meters up. My finaly tuned fountain would spit one particle about once every 2 seconds. Unless you have your own island I would not suggest working on any particle effects untill the end of the snow year.
