Bumping post so I am not forgotten

In your user_settings.config what is the value of particles_capacity_multiplier

6

particles_capacity_multiplier = 0
particles_simulation_lod = 0

7

Having particles_capacity_multiplier less than 1 will progressively shrink the size of particle effects in-game most noticeable with flames, but also applies to blood effects. At 0 they are totally invisible, set it to 1.0 or tweak it to like 0.5 so they are at least there.
