Unity Android App Crash with physx::Gu::PersistentContactManifold::reduceBatchContacts

Question

I am using Unity 2019.3.15f1 to build a Coin Pusher game, main feature is using physics engine to simulate a coin pusher game table.

After the game launched, it will run 30 seconds to 2 minutes before crash.

I got a crash log like this:

1 libc.tgkill(tgkill:8)
2 libc.pthread_kill(pthread_kill:68)
3 libc.raise(raise:28)
4 libc.abort(abort:60)

after running addr2line for libunity related messages I got this:

It seems like telling me that the problem is located in PhysX engine. Then I found a post related: https://forum.unity.com/threads/debugging-unhandled-null-exception-in-editor-game-view.503475/

But after disable PCM(Persistant Contact Manifold) in physics settings, the crash remains.

Does anyone have any clue for this problem? Any thought or guess will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

What I have alread tried:

1. Reduce rigidbodies.
2. Increase Fixed Timestep in Time setting.
3. Replatce mesh colliders with box colliders.
4. Turn off/on Persistant Contact Manifold. (By selecting Legacy Contacts Generation)
5. Upgrade to Unity 2019.4.4f1

Answer 1

After Upgrade to 2019.4.4f1, and turn off x86 architechture in building settings, the crash log changed from fortify_chk_fail to stack_chk_fail+6

By searching stack_chk_fail+6 from google, there was a post with the same issue.

The resson is that I have used MeshCollider with meshes which are over 255 triangles, a lot. And I created object pools which have cached too many objects, even though they are disabled.

After change the Mesh Collider to box collider, and reduce the cache amount of the object pools, the crash gone.

Since no one was visiting this post, guess I got thanks to myself.

Nice Done!!!
