Particle effect view distance

Hey!

I'm unable to find info on how to change the LOD distance of particle effects in a way that works. I thought I was supposed to change the Min and Max LOD values in the first emitter on the particle editor, but that doesn't seem to affect anything, so I tried changing those values on all emitters in the .fx. Unfortunately, the game refuses to cooperate, and it still has the original LOD setting despite that setting apparently no longer existing in the file (I checked the .fx file itself, it's all at 800 and 1000, not 10 and 50).

It's as if it's permanently set to display min 10.0 and max 50.0, even though I changed the values to 800.0 and 1000.0. Any help is appreciated.

The LOD parameters work. Make sure you're setting the LOD parameters for all emitters in the .fx file you're editing.

I did check them all. Each place in the file where LOD is mentioned, I have the new values in.

Sky_216 says this is a solution:

Give it a try and confirm if this works. I've never tried it and don't fully understand why it works, but if it does I won't question it.
