Not fighting that enemy is not really a "fix"
(The Megacorp Trooper Freeze does not happen any more, I played through the whole level killing every trooper on the map, and got 0 freezes, I used PCSX2 v1.5.0-dev-3288-g33f4f0459 when I was playing)

Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando is a 2003 3D platformer video game developed by [[Insomniac Games]]. The gameplay of ''Going Commando'' is similar to that of the original ''Ratchet & Clank''. The player explores planets in the "Bogon" Galaxy and undertakes missions. It contains more mini-games than were present in the previous game. The game also introduces role-playing game (RPG) elements, such as upgradeable weapons. ''Going Commando'' was released roughly a year after its predecessor, and received very positive reviews. Critics noted the game's improved graphics, longer gameplay, and added role-playing elements as being major improvements over the original, but also criticized the game for its very high difficulty.

|Comments=Much better graphical fidelity than 1.4.0 (especially with mipmapping), though minor issues persist such as the pause menu being completely opaque. Slowdown between 90 and 100% is somewhat common. However, more demanding levels such as Endako will frequently be in the high 80s and low 90s, and will sometimes even dip down into the mid-to-high 70s. No crashes thus far. Note: I did not see a noticeable speed difference between D3D11 and OpenGL, although Ratchet's shadow was broken with D3D11.

|Comments=Game is very demanding. Occasionally slows down with EE Cyclerate 0, but setting to -1 activates the game's internal frameskipping. This may make the game play better but YMMV, it slows some sections down to a crawl. Solid background menus are fine, since other than that and some minor lighting glitches, the game looks great.

|Comments= I had zero game breaking issues with Going Commando and I played it all the way through completion. Zero crashes and zero visual bugs (other than the menu screen ofc). I DID have minor fps drops at the very start of my playthrough, but that went away on it's own and I never had them again. Might have been some weird nightly build regression or something. Anyway that was only for the first hour, the rest of my hours were near perfect.
