Heat Distortion Not Working On Ortho Camera

Hi guys,

I am trying to get a heat distortion effect to appear under my asset (a machine) from the ortho camera, but to no success. I am using the fire particle from the starter content. And even if you set your camera to Right or Left view in the editor, the heat wave will still disappear (not rendered). Perspective is no problem. Is there any way around this? Another trick anyone would know, to mimic the heat distortion on orthographic camera? I’m making a 2D side scroller anyway.

PS: I have seen this question brought up before but still not properly resolved to this day. I am using 4.26 and wondering also if 4.27 solves the problem.

Thank you and stay safe guys,
