This issue has been resolved.
Descriptive Problem Summary:

Particles are now flickering based on the FPS.I don't know if this is intentional but they now look pretty bad unless the fps is at least 60fps.
Here's a gif recorded at 60fps while the world.fps was 20fps: https://i.imgur.com/6C8DO1r.gif

Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem:
Create particles.
Observe.

Code Snippet (if applicable) to Reproduce Problem:

The snippets from the DM Reference are enough to test this,but I'll include a demo anyway.

Expected Results:

Particles be displayed smoothly regardless of the FPS,like they used to be in version 514.

Actual Results:

Bad particles rendering.

Does the problem occur Every time:
Yes

Did the problem NOT occur in any earlier versions? If so, what was the last version that worked? (Visit http://www.byond.com/download/build to download old versions for testing.)
It didn't occur in the stable 514 version and it has occured in every 515 build that I've checked.

Workarounds:
Increase the fps(world) or fps(client).

Hello?
Could you re-test this on 515's latest build (1597) and edit your post to change the version to "Other" and specify that? Makes it a bit easier for Lummox to triage stuff that's been reproduced on the latest build.

Also, it's holiday times, so I would expect a reduced rate of response until 2023.
Well...I re-tested on the latest build earlier today when I edited the post to include a gif.

I understand if it gets a late response but it has been almost a month since I reported the issue so I was worried that it would go completely unnoticed until someone posted about it again.
Sorry this got kinda lost. There were some other issues taking priority and I was sick through most of December, but I'm taking a look now.
