Additional Notes

I’ve found a couple of work-arounds. 1 I don’t like and 1 I do. You can do a VFX creator and set it to the “soft circle” particle but it doesn’t cover a wide area. The VFX Spawner covers a wider area of the map. The second thing I did was use the VFX Spawner and chain it to RAIN and the color “white”. This looks pretty good, especially for heavy snow but I’d prefer the true snow effect.

I also want to point out that within the UEFN editor it shows the snow as white but when launching the game, and publishing and launching, the snow is PINK.
