Fatal Error

I've seen this with Maya 2014/2015 on multiple machines. Go first to a frame before 13.5 that contains particles (like 13). Or set the "Playback by" in Preference -> Time Slider to 0.5 and play. Or try rendering with motion blur that frame (both VRay and Mental Ray will crash).

Ah, I see what you're talking about. I thought you were referring to a random frame of particles. We're talking about a frame where particles die. Wow, never seen that before. I'm suspecting this has something to do with the 2013 build where caching for regular particles totally broke.
