Linux Invisible flames: burst gas pipes

Version
2.2(b3)
Platform
Linux
Nearly died from fire damage from an invisible burst gas pipe.

Flames are invisible but I can hear the gas flowing. Flames should be visible regardless of graphic settings.

This would've been game breaking in permanent death mode.

Playing on version 2.2 (b3)
SteamOS 3.7.13

Thank you!
 
Reproduction Steps
Encountered in POI NFD Engine 4 to the right after walking through the garage door.

I too have the same problem (air drop plumes are also MIA). Do you also find the meshes for posters 'break'/split & disappear?

Try using the game Launcher & select the 'Vulkan' renderer, it'll work. Unfortunately, for me, the game crashes frequently & randomly doing so. I haven't tried in any of the more recent updates

IOW: Known problem/issue

Make sur that in Video, Quality, Particles is not set too low. I once put it to zero just to see... And couldn't see any flames.
 
This used to happen to me in A21. Some of the flames from broken pipes wouldn't show. My videos settings have always been at least default.
 
I'm going to say it again: flames should be visible in all graphic settings. Period.

Could you imagine if the cop zombie spit was invisible? Same logic applies. This is a game breaking bug and needs to be addressed and rectified on all platforms.
