Particles do not render properly since 1.62
New, NormalPublic

Description

For some reason, Arma does not render all particles, even at close range. Once you look away from the particles and back again, the particles reappear, but disappear about a second later. This problem is very noticable on large particles, but happens on smaller ones too.

Some videos demonstrating the problem:

This problem appeared with the 1.62 update as far as I can tell.

Really annoying if you use the mod @BASE an test it in the YAAB benchmark you see the disappearing of smoke and explosions.

Any plume of smoke does this no matter the wind effect.

Setting particle count to 'low' seems to help ?!?!?!
