Particle system won't play no matter what

Hi,

I have a particle system in my main menu, with the following settings:

Notice Play On Awake is checked. When I press play in the scene, I see a few particles rendered if I check Prewarm, but no new ones ever spawn and they never move.

I even tried a script on another object with this ParticleSystem dragged onto the myParticleSystem slot :

Code (csharp):

1. ...
2. void Start ()
3. {
4.   if (myParticleSystem.isPlaying)
5.   {
6.   myParticleSystem.Play();
7.   }
8.   myParticleSystem.enableEmission = true;
9.  
10.   if (myParticleSystem == null)
11.   {
12.   Debug.Log("PS is null");
13.   }
14.  
15.    }
16. ...

Any ideas on why this won't play? Thank you

 

Bump, still looking for any insight on this
