If I roam the spider-cave to long, the flames from the torches sometimes go out. Strangest thing is, they seem to die out slowly. First they diminish in size, then they give some small flickering now and then, and finally they are completely gone. Exit and re-entry or log off and in again solves it.

It doesn't really bother me, so I'm not complaining, just thought you might wanna know. Anyway, for new server there will be a different particle engine anyway right?

That's because of a bug in the particle engine. The "falling numbers" particles are not deleted and add up to the maximum number of particles on the map. So the torches have not enough particles left to spawn new particles properly. But this bug is already fixed in the current developer version.

No. The particle engine is completely client-sided. So why would we replace it?
