Vulkan Mobile: CPUParticles2D with Spritesheet texture is crashing on Android

[EdoanR]

Tested versions

• It happens on Godot v4.2-stable and v4.1.2-stable.
• Does not happen in Godot v3.5.3-stable.
• Not on every android device.

System information

Godot v4.2.stable - Windows 10.0.19045 - Vulkan (Mobile) - dedicated AMD Radeon (TM) R7 360 Series () - AMD Ryzen 5 5600G with Radeon Graphics (12 Threads)

Issue description

When using a CPUParticle2D with a spritesheet (png file) as it's texture, and with a CanvasItemMaterial with Particles Animation enabled, and having any sprite infront of it (does not need to overlap it), whether by child order or by z-index, it crashes when playing on Android.

Does not need to be on the startup, spawning the particle or having a delay to emit it with requirements that I described above, it will crash as well.

But I was able to cause this problem only on my Android device, I have tested in other devices and it does not crash.

Device	Android	RAM	It crashes?
Xiaomi Redmi 7A	10	2GB	Crash
Xiaomi Redmi Note 8	10	4GB	Does not crash
Xiaomi Redmi Note 9	11	4GB	Does not crash
Samsung Galaxy A54	13	8GB	Does not crash

The only difference between the devices that I think is causing the problem is the RAM.

The crashes happened in Godot v4.2-stable and v4.1.2-stable,
it does not happen on Godot v3.5.3-stable (with both ES3 and ES2).

It is crashing only on Mobile renderer, Compatibility renderer does not crash.

Perhabs is Vulkan renderization causing problem in 2GB devices?

Steps to reproduce

1. Add a CPU2DParticle to the scene.
2. Set a new CanvasItemMaterial to it's material
3. Enable the particles animation.
4. Add icon.svg or any other sprite to the scene, make it appear infront of the particles by changing the z-index or by child order.
5. Export to android and play it.

Tested with Mobile and Compatibility renderer.

Perhabs is Vulkan renderization causing problem in 2GB devices?

The Compatibility rendering method uses OpenGL ES 3.0, not Vulkan.

[EdoanR]

UPDATE: It does work on Compatibility renderer, my bad. I was changing the renderer using the dropdown at top right, but after I created the project from scratch with Compatibility renderer, it did not crash. But creating with Mobile renderer it does crash. So I guess it's indeed something with Vulkan. I updated the issue description.

[ModuleCode]

I think it's the same problem #85750

[Alex2782]

i think uniform #79760 (comment)

canvas_item_material.cpp

		code += "uniform int particles_anim_h_frames;\n";
		code += "uniform int particles_anim_v_frames;\n";
		code += "uniform bool particles_anim_loop;\n\n";

@Zennos Can you include a crash log?

@Zennos Can you include a crash log?

I don't know how to get the crash log :/, I've been using adb logcat but it print so much stuff that isn't related to godot that I get lost, is there any guide of how to do it?

Try this https://forum.godotengine.org/t/get-adb-log-from-android/10604

I'm not sure myself, I haven't done much mobile dev lately

My system didn't recognize grep, but I looked up an alternative and the following command worked for me:
adb logcat | findstr /R /C:"Godot" /C:"godot" /C:"spritesheet_cpu_particles_4_2_mobile"

12-22 11:09:00.959 8569 8569 W Godot : The vulkan hardware level does not meet the minimum requirement: 1

[Alex2782]

Vulkan API 1.1.87 + Xiaomi Redmi 7A
https://vulkan.gpuinfo.org/displayreport.php?id=14230

Soon I will try to create a debug project, I find it strange that the apps crash because of uniform. I could not reproduce the problem on my old Samsung tablet with Android 8. (Vulkan API 1.0.61)

---

I mostly use this filter adb logcat -s godot

But it could also be that something outside of Godot crashes in the system. In this case, I first redirect everything to a text file, but this way all logs from the last 2 hours are output. The text file is 2 MB in size.

adb logcat > logs.txt (all logs, redirect to a text file, after crash press Ctrl + C to cancel)
