Invisible bursted pipe flame

[zawmbie]

On my current save all bursted pipes inside POIs that spew flames are invisible. This leads to situtations where I can't see the flame and end up walking into it.

Never seen that one. Are the pipes themselves invisible, or only the flames? Can you make them visible by adjusting graphics settings? Are you using any mods?

The pipes look normal, you just cant hear the flame sound or see the flame so you walk into the fire.

Check your particles setting. If you have it turned off, that could be the issue. I've never played that way so not certain, but I do know it makes a difference in things like that.

Interesting. I've never seen one like that. I think Khissi may be right, could be a graphics setting.

I seen this bug only once lol it nearly killed me! them flames hit hard! but a restart of the game fixed it.

i have same kind of problem here can't see fire from pipes and molotovs -can see the smoke- and no orange smokes from the air drops too ( particles set at 50% )
just found can't see flames from burning mod on tools and weapons

FIXED but not look below:
This bug makes the game unplayable, it's not only invisible, there is no sound either?

I just died to this bug, I had no idea what was going on, but went back to try to figure it out, which wasn't easy.
It was only because my wife knew of it, and when she told me, I entered another way, and found the handle to turn it off. But this is not acceptable for gameplay.

FIX that worked for me:
Playing this game on Linux on Steam, I opened the launcher, and changed Renderer to Vulkan, and untagged "Enable Graphics Jobs".

I then started the game and the gas flames worked fine.

If you shut the gas off, and want to turn it on again for testing, start the game with "Creative Mode" = on, and at the place where the gas flame should be, you press F8 to open console, and write rc <enter>, this will turn it back on.

Errors!!!
Turns out that I get errors very quickly running Vulkan, so this "fix" makes it even more unplayable.

@Buffalox Thanks for this. It solved the problem for me. FWIW, I haven't had any issues with this configuration and I've been using it for 3 days now.
