Trap code Particular causing AE to crash

[Happysnapperpaul]

Since I have upgraded to 2022 when ever I add Particular to a layer then click the Designer tab AE crashes. I hae uninstalled both but it still happens, I even installed an older version but it still crashes, If I open an old project it still crashes. Sent the report with my email but Adobe are ignoring it and cant get any help from the support.

Probably an issue with GPU acceleration functions. After all, the Designer uses OpenGL and on top of AE's own stuff you could simply run out of resources or have a conflict somewhere. Update your system's graphics driver and delete any old configuration info for Trapcode and AE itself by deleting the config files/ preferences in the respective folders.

Maxon have got to the bottom of it!

Its because I'm using Parciular v4 and need to upgrade to run it on the latest After Effects.

Something you should always check anyway.  Even before updating AE...check with your plug in manufacturers and make sure they are ready for the new version. If they're not coordinating with Adobe it could take them a few week or months to release an update during which time you wont be able to use the plug in.
