I've recently been playing Thaumcraft 4 again, but this time around, none of the particles show up. Like the nitor is just an empty hit box that generates light or being killed by a taint swarm because it is now invisible. I've been trying to find a way to fix it, but I'm not the most knowledgeable person on minecraft mods. I did use the download from here

And I do not have a texture pack on either. I am just very confused, still enjoying thaumcraft, but it would waaay cooler with the visual effects.

Do you have particles turned on in your minecraft client?

Btw, this is not really the right place to report errors.
