[5.5] Particle System crashes the entire game

I really don't know why but when I build my game and I come to a scene that includes a very specific particle system the entire game crashes. This does not happen in the editor and also not in development builds.

Instead of trying to explain forever I just uploaded a build and a project that includes only the particle system prefab and nothing else. The build should make an error dump on loading the first scene.

This only happened after updating to 5.5. My build from 5.4 I made yesterday that had zero code changes still works. And since it also crashes with just the particle system that doesn't matter anyway.

Hey! Could you send us a bug report and include your project in there? That way we can get our developers to have a look

 

Sure. I just found out how to fix it and I'll post the workaround here and then fill out a bug report.

It's extremely weird, but the crash occurs when 'Emission/Rate Over Time' is around 8.5. I can't explain why. 8 works, 9 works, 8.5 and numbers around that don't. Also can't be the floating point - 7.5 works fine as well. This is really... strange.

 

Thanks for the added info!

 

I have a MMO game and since I updated Unity 5.5 or 5.5p2 often particle systems crash Unity and Built.
This particle system is inside battle animations, I have hundreds prefabs with that.

Factors:
When the gameobject with particles is destroyed, the crash appear often.
When particles hit between them, the crash appear often (use much particles (emission) and i'm sure your app will crash).
But always if the parent transform have a component Particle system and the child too.

I will try to compare and to know what's the parameter can crash Unity Editor and Built.

 

I move my particle system in the parent in a new child and it solved the probem.

For example:
With bug
- Fog
----Snow

Without bug
- Empty
---- Fog
---- Snow

 

Also seeing this, although I tried to reproduce using the 100% repro steps from Nemo-Novus and couldn't. We are still digging and if I can find a case that can reproduce 100% I will definitely file a bug report. The actual crash isn't 100% for us either so it may be a threading issue or race condition that can't be reproduced 100% of the time except in certain situations that have somewhat predictable timing in a multithreaded situation.

 

Our case appears to have been caused by TrailRenderer. Once we removed TrailRenderer component off the GameObjects that were crashing the game, it fixed the issue.

 

Hello, I have the same exact issue. In my case, only certain android device crash on particle. (Xperia M, Zenfone 2 Laser but not Nexus 5). iOS does not have this issue at all.

In my title screen, I have 3 particle systems. Each with 1.8, 1.8, 8 emission rate. All of them exist from before I upgraded to 5.5.0p2. The game crash ("Unfortunately, ....") on that screen before any script can be executed (I put Debug.Log on all Start() and Awake() and all of them does not get called when I adb logcat it. And the logcat is not useful what is the root cause.)

I fixed the issue by changing the one with 8s emission rate to 8.5. Everything worked fine from that point, but it is really painful to find in the first place that this Particle System is the root of the problem. I have to gradually remove game objects and Build and Run until the error disappears, then I know that is the culprit. When I change the rate back to 8, the problem will be reproduced. (haven't try any other whole number)

Maybe the issue is because the emission rate is a whole number, since all other particles in my game all are floating points.

And when I turned on Development Mode, this problem does not occur at all.

I have made an almost empty project and successfully reproduced this. Unfortunately when I create a new Particle System from scratch and assign it 8 sec. emission rate it does not reproduce the error. I can reproduce an error only when I copied a particle prefab from my main game. Which means other settings in the Particle System other than 8 sec. emission rate is required to produce error. Your game might contain those unidentified other factors in your particle system.

If you want to see the particle that crash Xperia M on non-development mode, please see Particle Crash.zip. Changing emission rate to 8.5 and rebuild the APK will fix the crash. I already submitted the bug report.

 

For other ppl that might came across this thread they replied to my crash report that this is fixed in 5.6.0b3 and 5.5.0p3 so you should definitely try that instead of changing emission rate around.

 

I had an issue where I try to duplicate my particle system from within my particle system.
It made my entire system freeze, but that should have happened since I entered an infinity recursion of generating particle systems.
You should realize memory limitations, infinity loops, infinity recursion could still make your game crash and unity can't prevent you from doing those things.

 

Particle system crashing on Windows with Runtime Build. Version 5.5.0f3_38b4efef76f0
It's obviously a runtime fault in Unity:
caused an Access Violation (0xc0000005)
Read from location ffffffff caused an access violation.

Not willing to send a dump file at the moment, I reduced the particle system emission rate (thanks for the workaround) to get it working in runtime builds. Can't test on other platforms at the moment so my confidence in the product is low. Will get the fix if it does indeed exists when it's out of beta, in the meantime good luck with that:

Read from location ffffffff caused an access violation.

5.5.0p4 patch is fu*king 2 GB and did fix the issue on Windows Runtimes. So yeah... waste your time/bandwidth at your own discretion.

 

Huh. I appear to be seeing particle related crashes still in 5.5.2f1

Removed all particle systems from the scene, and was able to run standalone.

Well, I can confirm that certain particle systems are indeed still crashing on the android platform with version 5.6.1f1

I was smashing my head against the wall all day, pouring through log cat read offs and nothing I seemed to do code wise effected it. So when this happens I get to the point where I say screw it, I'm going to tear it down and rebuild it.

Turns out the cause of my crashes were the particle system's settings were set to both receive and cast shadows.

I'm not sure if this is a memory issue or a rendering issue, but with those two features disabled, it has been smooth sailing and I've been one happy camper.

Hope this helps, you guys make great software.

 

I just had this issue in version 5.5. I have to keep on that build for reasons of compatibility with third party scripts.

What fixed it for me was changing the particle image location. The error log showed a Nvidia null reference exception. I was using a standard asset particle, and I think some of the asset store packs has done weird things to my assets folder.

Anyway, moving the render particle source to a different folder outside of the Standard Assets path did it for me.

 

Hello, I know this is an old thread, but I get exactly the same issue in Unity 2019.1.2f1 !

I made a scene where I could start my particle system by pressing "L", and each time I start the particle system on Windows builds, it crashes.

@jack_ftw your solution sounds interesting, is there a way to refresh the metadata of the particle image or something? so that I don't need to move it.

EDIT: I found what was causing the crash: if you use a Gravity Modifier that is not constant, the particle system will crash on windows builds.

 

I used mobile/particles/alpha blended for my particle material and Issue was solved.

 

Issue still occurs in 2022.2.1f1
