Well, for the past month I have noticed I can not see fire particles and some others, and I finally came to the forum asking if anyone knew. I have already uninstalled Garrysmod and all that, but it still doesn't work. I know that my computer can make them because I could see it fine 2 months ago.
Also, whenever I start up Garrysmod, that little blue loading bar says "Downloading (file here).pcfx or something like that. It does it too fast so I cannot read it. Anybody got some tips on this?
EDIT: Nevermind guys, sorry Magic but I didn't follow what you said exactly, I did a bit of googling and found out that my dxlevel was 8.1, and it can't show fire particles. I did however get a kewl explosion replacement xD
