    *Temporal workaround:* Call Particles.Clear() before calling Particles.Play() again. As long as NO particles are alive when calling Play, prewarm will work correcly.

    After calling stop there may be a few seconds where there are active particles in the system, depending on their lifetime. If play is called before those last particles die, the system will start spawning as described, but without instantly spawning prewarmed particles to match a fully prewarmed particle system.
