Graphical bug or a Setting bug?

from Sins Forums
Okay, I am having a strange problem with Sins, it's a strange graphical bug or something of the like. Basically if I get into a battle sometimes the ships weapon projectiles do not appear, you can still hear them firing and hitting the ship but you cannot see them, also whats worse is that if the bug keeps going it also hides the ships explosions and buildings when they usually blow up. It's very strange, because if I go to the menu and save then everything that dissapeared would appear again.. only for a short time sadly.

So I was hoping if there is a solution to this that someone could help me with, either if it's graphical or setting wise, I am open for help, thank you.

I have the same problem (although mine is only with Vasari)
Goto C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR USERNAME\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Setting
in there will be a file called "user" open it up in notepad and look for the line

MaxParticlecount= 6000

Increase that number to something higher (I did 12000)
That seems to work for some people but for me it just prolongs the amount of time until the weapon effects and everthing disappears again.
