    UPDATE:

    One issue has been discovered when creating a new spline from scratch, where an error is produced.

    This error is fixed when the 'Show_controls_play_mode' parameter is set to true. This will properly intialize the spline and then can be used normally.

    This will be fixed in v2.1 of the Particle Dynamic Magic system.

    I have tested the system with the latest Unity (v5.3) and in some of the effects i get a slow down at random, sometimes it does not happen at all, sometimes it is constant.

    The particle system in the new version has an issue as reported in the below thread with massive slow downs comparing to the previous versions and i will keep a close eye for a fix to this and a possible restore of the previous particle system or speed up of the new one.

    http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/unity-5-3-performance-issues.372648/#post-2415613

    Exaple case (not using Particle Dynamic Magic, this is a general issue):
    On 5.2, transparent rendering takes between 4 and 5 ms > 60fps approx.
    On 5.3, same scene, same project, same device, the transparent rendering takes 130 - 150 ms > 6fps.

    Unfortunately i cannot do anything about this issue, as it is an internal Unity bug in v5.3 and i hope it is fixed soon.

    UPDATE:

    A few issues that came to my attention:

    1. If the below error appears while playing the Angry Bots demo, please install the attached hotfix file below:

    NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
    SetCheckpoint.OnTriggerEnter (UnityEngine.Collider other) (at Assets/AngryBots/Scripts/
    Modules/SetCheckpoint.js:7)

    2. When install first time, appears a Shader error in 'Particle Dynamic Magic/Transparent/Diffuse for Shadow F1': 'vert': function return value missing semantics at line 171 (on d3d11_9x) appears

    This shader is left for legacy purposes (so error appears only once when install and no longer) and the shader may be removed as well as they are meant for Unity 4 (Particle Dynamics Magic -> Version 2.0 -> Shaders -> Unity 4 folder -> TranspDiffuseForShadowedFPDM.shader file).

    Advanced FX Creator on -50% discount for a limited time

    Hello, just checking if this is still an issue. Should we still not use Particle Magic (or any other heavy use particle systems) in 5.3+, or has one of the 5.4 releases addressed this?

    If we need to avoid 5.3+, is 5.2.5 safe? I'm on 5.3, and if I have to try to roll back (following this suggestion http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/317047/lowering-unity-project-version.html), I want to choose the right version to roll back to.

    Hi,

    The slow downs was a major issue that affected nearly all Shuriken based assets in major ways and was resolved as priority by Unity, thus it is safe to use in latest versions and should be as fast as my store demos that were made with versions before the issue appeared.

    I have been testing in 5.3.2f1 and they work ok there, so this and above versions should be ok.
