When I try to render Particle Cutouts on Android, game suddenly crashed:

Hi,

I’ve tested this issue and was unable to reproduce a crash on my device. I did however confirm that the particle cutout wasn’t functioning on my mobile device and have logged a bug report regarding this issue here.

Just for testing purposes could you open the attached project and see if you can deploy it on your device. Project

Crash occured also for your project

Hi,

Since I can’t reproduce the crash on my end I’m going to get some info from you so I can create a bug report for this issue.

  1. Could you give me the exact list of steps you took leading to the crash. (In my project)
  2. Then submit the crash.
  3. Next get the log file by going into your project file>Saved>Logs and it will be a text file with the same name as your project.

Once you have submitted all that information I can proceed to logging the bug report.

EDIT
I removed the source context from your answer and converted to a comment.

  1. Simply package project for ETC1 in development mode.
  2. Assertion failed: (Index >= 0) & (Index < ArrayNum) [File:Runtime/Core/Public/Containers\Array.h] [Line: 804] Array index out of bounds: 256 from an array of size 256libUE4.so!FDebug::LogAssertFailedMessage(char const*, char const*, int, wchar_t const*, ...)
  3. I attached log file.

Interesting that in logs this crash isn’t saved, it exists only in ADB logcat… But game still crashes and it looks like saving logs is stopped before crash…

I noticed that doesn’t happen on NVIDIA Shield Tablet K1 but only on Galaxy Note 2.

Hi gameDNA studio,

We were able to reproduce this issue on the specific device you specified. I have created a bug report here: Unreal Engine Issues and Bug Tracker (UE-34604)

Thank you for your patience on this matter and I appreciate all of the info you provided in this investigation.

Hello folks. I also got this error on my device : Amazon KFFOWI http://specdevice.com/showspec.php?id=4c09-a3cc-0033-c5870033c587&lang=ru

Is there a solution or hotfix?

.

This issue should already be resolved in 4.14. If you are reproducing a crash in 4.14 I can investigate further.

I should also point out that since you are using an Amazon device (7’’ Fire Tablet) this issue may be addressed a bit differently. I will update you with further details soon.

Big for quick answer.

Hi a.katkov,

We would like to run an investigation on your issue. If you are experiencing a crash on 4.14 could you do the following:

  • Make a new bug post Titled: Particle Cutout Crashes Fire Tablet In 4.14
  • Describe how you are getting a crash and request that I be assigned to the ticket.
  • Link the post here in a comment.

Once that is done I can move further with the investigation.

Hi, .

I builded my game via Engine version 4.14.3 and received same assert. I created new bug post and attached logs from devices.
