Root Cause

Particle system buffer overflow from too many particles.

generic

Workarounds

  1. 88% success Set reasonable maxParticles and emission rate for target platform
  2. 85% success Use GPU instancing for particle rendering

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Set maxParticles to unlimited 82% fail

    Memory and CPU spike

  2. Disable all particle systems 78% fail

    Loses visual effects
