    We are investigating ways to address this issue but it is not trivial, so a fix may not come in the short term.

    For anyone hitting this issue, we advise reverting to the scripting method mentioned here: https://forums.oculusvr.com/developer/discussion/5998/hmd-roll-and-particles

    If using Unity 2019, rewriting it to use the C# Job System with Burst will make it run very efficiently. Details on that API can be found here: https://forum.unity.com/threads/particle-system-c-job-system-support.529284/

    2019.1.14 and onwards, still an ongoing issue and still a major roadblock in our development.

    Blows my mind this isn't fixed yet. Pretty much renders the ParticleSystem unusable in VR...

    All the effort that Unity has put into VR... a VR editor even, but can't fix particle effects. Priorities. 8)

    This makes particles look terrible in VR. Needs fixing ASAP!

    This bug breaks the whole reason why the Allow Roll checkbox exists in the first place, this is bad!

    I also reported it, it has been reproduced and it's been sent it to engineering to get fixed.

    What is the status ?
    Will it make it into the 2018 LTS version ?
