Particle System "Particle Effect Window" Simluation Not Simulating

Unity Engine
1

Hello everyone. I have a very awkward issue that happened when i started my editor today. I cannot simulate particles anymore when in the editor via the window popup that shows in the scene view when you select a particle. Everytime i press “Simulate”, it just goes to “.04” in the time and stays there for some reason.

Now the particles are setup correctly and lasts 20 on “Duration” and 30 on “Lifetime”. Also set to “Play on awake” and does NOT have a delay.

It stops in the same place for all particles i have purchased, and they are all different packs.

I am completely lost and dont know what would even cause this, unless its something in the actual Unity/Editor settings.

I found that if i use the codes “n” and “m” i can rewind and play them, but only if i hold those keys.

Does anyone know what can cause it to not simulate the loop by itself when i press simulate?

Just encountered it in 2017.4

Solved it by going Edit->Settings->Time/->Time Scale and changed it to 1.0
