Okay, to follow up on my previous comment there are definitely some issues with the GPU when booting the editor:
I’ve yet to unearth what these issues are, but obviously this might be causing the issues occurring with the particles.
Here’s the GPU when the editor is opened but not in focus:
The following is what happens when I put the editor in focus without any particles in the level. Restoring the particles doesn’t effect this percentage:
However, the frame rate skyrockets without particles in the level when but as soon as particles are present the frame rate tanks:
I’m not sure if the amount of Memory is correct. It seems low to me, so I wonder if there’s a way to get more for UE while dropping how much the GPU is being taxed?
I’ve tried several ways of updating the drive (local install attempts as well), but nothing works. I always get this result:
