    like the title says the effect does not play until the camera looks at it. I get that this is useful for some particles (like in the environment) but not to much for a muzzle flash. how do I fix this?

    Hi @LiableDuke,
    Have tried to adjust the Culling Flags for the VFX? Select the asset in Project, then you should see settings for the asset in Inspector. There's "Culling Flags" field, try select "Always recompute and simulate". There's also settings for pre-warming. Maybe this helps, not sure if it works as I can't try now.
