Bug Report (Invisible fire)

[privateme]

Type of Bug: Lua

Description of the Bug: Invisible fire

How to reproduce the Bug: There was a molotov in Tidals and I somehow died to seemingly invisible fire. I'm not sure if this was smoke inhalation but it sure didn't look like it, as you can see my body being burnt at the end.

The fire was visible on my screen so I was wondering why you didn't keep a larger distance when I was watching you from the end of the hallway lol
Either way, you died of smoke inhalation and once your body fell the fire latched on to finish you off.

Sadly don't have it clipped and demo won't be so useful here.

Oh that's odd. I dont think it was visible for that other officer in the clip, maybe it differs for different people?

Do you have smoke enabled? We had an issue in the past on V5 where fires would turn invisible if there were too many particles around such as large fires in the forest. However, it was very inconsistent.

To add to this, I have smoke density on the lowest which should help with the number of particles.
