Question Does this look like a VFX Graph-related error/crash? $WriteLineVertex@...

    I've been getting crash reports that crash on the following statement:

    $WriteLineVertex@$0A@@@YAXAEAPEAEAEBUfloat4x4@math@@AEBU_float3@1@AEBVColorRGBA32@@AEBU_float1@1@MAEBU_float2@1@@Z

    I tend to assume it's VFX Graph related, since I use a Trails system in one of my graphs, and I can't think of any other features in the game that are related to "BuildParticleLineSegment" that I see in this stack trace.

    Here's the part of the stack trace showing the crash. Does this look like something I need to report to Unity to fix, realizing this is a very intermittent issue? Or is this possibly related to how I'm approaching things, and I just need to change my graph?

    Hello !

    Is there any trail module from Shuriken in your scene ? The callstack refers to the built-in Particles System.
    Most of the Visual Effect system functions are prefixed with "VFX".

    Even if it's a very intermittent issue, it is still really valuable for us that you report the issue. Even simply sending the crash report, we are gathering data which can help in bug resolution.

    Thanks for clarifying that this is Shuriken-related. That's helpful to know. And yes, I do have a few Shuriken particle systems that have Trails enabled. This is very intermittent, so I don't have any way to reproduce the issue locally. The crashes I've received came through Unity Cloud Diagnostics.

    Usually if I upload a bug report with a way to reproduce it, it just gets closed immediately by QA. But I'll upload a bug report and include the crash info that Cloud Diagnostics has.

    I've submitted a bug report on this, ID #1275952, just in case you wanted to know. I expect to hear back from QA shortly telling me it has been closed. :)

    We definitely use a lot of particle systems and some have trails...

    This crash is not related to Visual Effect Graph but to the built-in particle system. you should ask in the dedicated session of the forum.

    EDIT: I forwarded to particle system team
