Particle effects not rendering

[Chaney]

For some odd reason or another, particle systems (such as fire, blood, or anything from emitters or the particle maker stool) wont render and don't show. I know my system is capable of handling them, as I have just upgraded my graphics card and drivers last month, that and particles rendered perfectly fine prior to the GM13 upgrade.
Is this an issue for anybody else, and if so, are there any known fixes?

I had the same problem but not with emitters and particle maker. To fix the fire or anything else, there are some tips I found:

Clean your game by deleting the "garrysmod" folder;
Find the "particles" folder and delete it;
Upgrade your DirectX;
Go to Library, right click and click on "Remove Local Content".

If none of these tips work, ask Garry, he probably knows how to fix this.


PS: I don't think I could try removing the "particles" folder because I have the realistic explosion addon in it.
