What is causing the Particle Rendering in Effects Sample to fail on OS X?

On Mac OS X, in the Content Examples project Effects.umap map, in sample 1.2, (The “GPU particles with velocity cone module”) the red orb shows up, but there are no particles. It works fine on my Windows hard drive partition, so I don’t think it’s my system specs. I’m also running OS X 10.9.2, so that shouldn’t be a problem either. I also noticed that in sample 1.8 (Particle Shadow Casting) the cloud doesn’t show up. Is there any solution to this?

Hello Ziggy,

This is currently a known issue on MacOSX with that GPU functionality. Thank you for bringing this to us though.
