    I'm using VFX graph to draw bezier curves and I've noticed things getting weird with particleId when I have more than 64 particles in a strip. Here is how I set the positions:

    So when I have up to 64 for the count (spawned in a single burst), everything looks as it should:

    But if I go up to 65, a glitch:

    I have Particle Per Strip Count set to 1000 so I'm well under the limit there. Something with the particleId must be getting messed up! It seems to happen at regular intervals of 64... here is 256:

    Is this a bug?
