Hi, I have noticed that recently my application, which is build for Android started to crash at particle animation start:

```lua
particlefx.play("rewards:/rankParticles#flow")

```

Interesting that for MacOs particles are rendered fine and it does not crashes.  
The logs while crashing shows:

```lua

```

Can somebody advice where can be the problem?

Tried to download MacOs version 1.2.87 from [d.defold.com](http://d.defold.com) to compare the results, but it shows:

 ![Screenshot 2021-10-30 at 22.25.30](https://forum-defold-uploads.b-cdn.net/original/3X/c/f/cf8a8670fa9429e72fb9f8e5965416a531fa9950.png)

Also it seems it is not possible to download any old version for macOS 10.11+

The log you shared does not provide any useful info. Could you please build Debug version of the game, and show logs from it?  
Also it would be nice if you can test if macos Bundle (not build) works fine.

Forgot to mention: Defold version: 1.2.188  
Macos bundle version crashes at particle animation too with logs:

```lua
INFO:DLIB: SSDP: Started on address 192.168.1.235

```

Not sure how it is possible to read \_crash file seems has some encoding…

Could you please try to isolate this crash in minimal repocase and send it to me here on in PM ?

We found the reason of this crash, here is a temp workaround:

> [@Assertion failed: size \<= Capacity()](https://forum.defold.com/t/assertion-failed-size-capacity/70141/4):
>
> I think we know what the problem is.  
> As a temp workaround until the fix, you may create a factory with GO that has only one component: a particle without emitters. It should help for now.
> 
> Thank you for this report and especially for a repocase!
