|gameinfo          = Ratchet and Clank team up to save the world from the evil Drek, the leader of a dead planet who drains resources all over the universe. As you progress from one alien planet to the next, you'll find or purchase over 36 weapons and gadgets, including a wrench, bomb glove, grappling hook, cannon, machine gun, and rocket launcher.  Think about it--you can choose from burning, bombing, exploding or obliterating your enemies.  So go ahead, blow it all up.<br />

OpenGL and Direct3D 11 had similar performance, with OpenGL performing slightly better. Anisotropic Filtering is optional. For the Riglar bolt-trick, use turbo mode, lock input, and lower GSdx settings.

{{Issue
|IssueName=Crash on MTVU + Disabled Framelimiter
|IsFixed=0
|IssueLevel=0
|Description=The game may crash when loading into a new planet if MTVU is enabled and the framelimiter is disabled. Seems to scale with the power of the host CPU; the stronger the CPU, the faster the game will run, and the faster the game will run, the more likely it is to encounter the hang condition.
|Workaround=Do not disable the framelimiter while loading a new planet. Or, simply reboot the game after the crash (the game auto saves when changing planets, before the crash condition is reached, so no progress will actually be lost).
}}
{{Issue
|IssueName=Low framerate
|IsFixed=0
|IssueLevel=-1
|Description=R&C runs at low framerates out of and in combat.
|Workaround=Try enabling MTVU under Settings > System which as of writing is default turned OFF. This should be a good fix for most people. If this isn't enough try switching to the Vulkan renderer (Under Graphics > Renderer). 
}}
==Fixed Issues==
{{Issue
|IssueName=Broken textures
|IsFixed=1
|IssueLevel=1
|Description=Garbage textures until you stand close to objects due to GSdx not supporting mipmapping in hardware mode.
|Workaround=This can be resolved with the latest v1.5.0 git builds. Go to Config > Video(GS) > Plugin Settings, and set Mipmapping to "Basic". Or switch to Software Mode by setting Renderer to any of the "(Software)" options. Note: To minimize the potential performance impact of Software Mode, set Rendering Threads to one less than the number of available CPU cores.

 Europe v01.70(27/02/2003), Still Playable. Game works fine at a good speed. Requires Software Mode to fix the graphics (Mipmapping), the game can be quite slow. I achieved pretty much constant full speed by putting VU Cycle Stealing to 1 and 4 Extra Rendering Threads for Software Mode (this game seems to like them a bit more than normal).

 BIOS: USA v2.20, Garbage textures still persist. Cutscenes stutter a bit, and game feels slow even at full speed (though it could be my memory of how the game was when I used to play it.) Overall playable, though not the best experience. Jonbuddy1

 Using BIOS USA 1.60, game runs decently, says it's running at full speed always but you can see it lagging. To combat this a little, I raised the target framerate to 105%, so it runs at around 63 but it looks a little better. ClubSpade12

 BIOS: USA 2.00. Played at full speed. Opaque background to menus, but it's worth it to stay in hardware mode. OpenGL and Direct3D 11 had similar performance, with OpenGL performing slightly better. Anisotropic Filtering is optional. For the Riglar bolt-trick, use turbo mode, lock input, and lower GSdx settings. Otamajakushi

  • Lilypad 0.12.1
 Game is very demanding. Occasionally slows down with EE Cyclerate 0, but setting to -1 activates the game's internal frameskipping and makes it run a little smoother in most sections. Solid background menus are fine, since other than that and some minor lighting glitches, the game looks great. Darkshadows

 1.7.2900 GSdx SPU2-X I just beat this game with zero game breaking issues. There were some very minor flickering textures and weird texture perspective warping (not sure if that's the game or PCSX2) but other than that it ran great with Vulkan renderer, EE Cycle Rate set to 180%, and MTVU enabled.

 v1.7.2921 GSdx SPU2-X Played the game on standard settings upscaled to 1080p. Game runs terrible on 1.6.0 but almost perfectly on latest nightly. Some cutscenes randomly lag and on planet Batalia/ fort krontos the game speed keeps moving between 85% and 100% probably because of all the rain on screen. Tom

 v1.7.3712 (SSE4)
GSdx 1.2.0
SPU2-X v2.0.0
Menu backgrounds (pause screen and credits) just show mostly solid colours, and the backgrounds in the credits are cut off (the bottom half of the screen is black). There were a handful of instances of lag in Nebula G34, Rilgar, and Pokitaru, but these were so brief and infrequent that they may well have just been one-offs or microstutter, otherwise full speed. Fully playable. PandoraGTX

Known Issues

Glitched menu backgrounds

  • Status: Active
  • Type: Minor
  • Description: Most menu backgrounds (pause screen and credits) are glitched in GSdx hardware modes.
  • Workaround: Use software mode, or ignore it (gameplay is not affected).
  • Glitched background (OpenGL hardware)

Crash on MTVU + Disabled Framelimiter

  • Status: Active
  • Type: Minor
  • Description: The game may crash when loading into a new planet if MTVU is enabled and the framelimiter is disabled. Seems to scale with the power of the host CPU; the stronger the CPU, the faster the game will run, and the faster the game will run, the more likely it is to encounter the hang condition.
  • Workaround: Do not disable the framelimiter while loading a new planet. Or, simply reboot the game after the crash (the game auto saves when changing planets, before the crash condition is reached, so no progress will actually be lost).

Low framerate

  • Type: Note (not an issue)
  • Description: R&C runs at low framerates out of and in combat.
  • Workaround: Try enabling MTVU under Settings > System which as of writing is default turned OFF. This should be a good fix for most people. If this isn't enough try switching to the Vulkan renderer (Under Graphics > Renderer).

Fixed Issues

Broken textures

  • Status: Fixed
  • Type: Serious
  • Description: Garbage textures until you stand close to objects due to GSdx not supporting mipmapping in hardware mode.
  • Workaround: This can be resolved with the latest v1.5.0 git builds. Go to Config > Video(GS) > Plugin Settings, and set Mipmapping to "Basic". Or switch to Software Mode by setting Renderer to any of the "(Software)" options. Note: To minimize the potential performance impact of Software Mode, set Rendering Threads to one less than the number of available CPU cores.
