Snow particles are being created on the left and as they move to the right, this creates a noticeable gap (especially at higher densities) before the next wave of particles are created.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Add snow
2. Set to max density
3. Observe

Hey @Sky-Captain-13, I just released a new version (v2.2.0) which should fix this issue. Can you confirm the problem is gone now?

[Sky-Captain-13]

Looks like it's fixed. Thanks! The left side still shows fewer of the snowflakes, but it's not as obvious as the lulls were.

Yeah, the reason for that is that when you don’t have a padding area (which you don’t seem to have in that scene), the spawn area of the particles is just all of the scene. That means on the left side, particles will spawn, but there are no particles that move into that area, they just move out of it, so there are always less particles in that area. I will probably improve the spawn areas of effects in the future so that the spawn area is a bit larger and effects look more uniform across their visible area. But it’s actually pretty difficult to get this exactly right while not wasting tu much resources by rendering stuff outside the visible area.

Ah, yeah... I dislike having padding. So I set it to zero on every map.
