In-Game: Wrong particle effects are displayed if "remove unused assets" is enabled for the attached project

[gm-bug-reporter]

Description

After updating to 11.0.179, my project is playing the wrong particle effects. The correct one is shown in the room editor asset layers, but played as a burst instead of stream. The particle effects generated by instances are displaying the wrong effect. This seem to apply only to this project.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Start GameMaker and import the attached project
2. Run it (e.g., Windows VM)
3. Once you reach the main fullscreen game (after the first grey "menu" screen transition) you will be able to move the player char around.
4. Observe a lack of white flame particles shooting upwards either side of the door (potentially you can actually see these as the edges of a "cloud" in the very top-right of the game window)
5. Walk to the door and press Up arrow to go to the next room
6. Observe over to the right there will be a large mass of blue particles rather than a simple orb

This is an issue with the new Game Option for not including unused assets in your game - turn that option off for now and the particles are fine.

Assigning to @pkraif as I am sure that he has already done some work on this...
