Not with the demo I’m afraid.
sorry guys, i have the same problem here… x-particles not working. is it because krakatoa works just with x-particles 2.5 … i don’t remember if I read it somewhere. thank you
Are you talking about OSX or Windows btw?
Considering the issues mentioned here, I checked these with the latest X-Particles Pro and it worked out fine, so yes, please just use the latest build to test.
I’m using osx. x-particles version 2.1
Please use 2.54 from Dec.14. Their SDK changed significantly from 2 to 2.5 so only the latest is supported.

thank you noseman!
