    the game crashes after playing for just 5 minutes when you first meet Doc. Nefarious and attempt to go on the cables. It's no possible to continue further. Tried everything, new drivers, different graphics settings (from lowest to highest), win10 format, new ssd, but nothing helped. Game needs to be fixed

    unfortunately it crashes with old cpus which don't have avx2 support. I'm playing with i7 3930k + rtx 3070 and the game crashes to the desktop in just a couple of minutes of gameplay. No matter what gfx settings you change, it won't help. Sony must release a patch for older processors

    the difference between patch 1728 and 1808 is that now is possible to get past the cables mission in first encounter with Doc Nefarious, but the game crashes soon after in just 2 minutes when a new attach wave begins. And it crashes again and again, so it's impossible to clear the Intro level. So this patch 1808 is useless.

    v. 1727 : it was crashing

    v. 1728: it was still crashing

    v. 1808: it still crashes

    Bad port. Impossible to play. Asked for a refund and will never buy a Sony port again

    With patch v. 1.815 the game finally works fine and no more crashes! I've been playing for more than 1 hour so far and still no crashes, nor other issues. My gaming rig: Nvidia Rtx 3070, Intel Core i7-3820, 16GB Ram, Intel 545series 2.5 SSD 512GB. Thanks Sony! The game is great and has wonderful graphics!

    update 1.815 has solved all my crashes. The game is stable now. I hope it will be like this until the end. Well done Nixxes Software. With previous versions it was crashing all the times with my i5 2500, despite my new Rtx 4060 Ti

    bought it but was only able to play it for a while before getting annoying exits to the desktop with no reason. Never had any issue so far with other games with my Rtx 3070 Ti

    it seems a nice port but I was only to play for a short time before the game started crashing frequently making it no possible to terminate the intro scene with nefarius attack. This is probably because the game requires AVX 2 instructions but my processor is an Intel Core i7-2600K lacking those instructions so the game keep crashing again and again.

    Ich spiele FHD mit einem Rtx 2080 Super + i7 3820 + 24 GB RAM + 512 GB SSD, aber das Spiel ist nicht gut. Ich erhalte viele Fehlermeldungen und das Spiel schließt sich automatisch auf dem Desktop. Es wird kein Grund dafür erklärt, warum ich diese Ausgänge erhalte. Sony muss dieses Spiel bald reparieren

    terrible port. I'm getting many many crashes which are totally ruining my gaming experience. I've just bought a new rtx 4060Ti to play this game and I'm very unhappy for what it's happening. It's a shame I'm not even able to finish the first level

    os gráficos são bons e coloridos. O problema é que trava com frequência. Tantas saídas para a área de trabalho e não é possível continuar jogando. Eu tentei muitos drivers, mas o problema persiste com meu Amd Rx 6800. Não sei se também a cpu é um problema, pois estou usando um i5-2500K. Sony, por favor, resolva esses problemas de estabilidade

    Tested it with 2 different computers with latest update version 1728.0 and it always crashes with both of them:

    1. Lenovo Legion 5 laptop with Amd Ryzen 7 5800h - Rtx 3070 - 16GB Ram - Win11

    2. Dell desktop with i9-9900k - Rtx 2080 - 32GB Ram - Win10

    no matter what graphics options I change, the game crashes when you first meet doctor Nefarius and there is no way to continue playing

    Its okay. Its not terrible or anything, but it is quite disappointing unless you are absolutely brand new to the series. Soundtrack? Pretty bog standard. Gameplay? Well its most of what people like about the games, even I think its fairly slick now as it controls rather flawlessly via a mouse and keyboard (though some button placements are a little odd). It reminds me a lot of ToolsIts okay. Its not terrible or anything, but it is quite disappointing unless you are absolutely brand new to the series. Soundtrack? Pretty bog standard. Gameplay? Well its most of what people like about the games, even I think its fairly slick now as it controls rather flawlessly via a mouse and keyboard (though some button placements are a little odd). It reminds me a lot of Tools of Destruction, especially because the opening is a huge set-piece that shows off the engine, and a lot of the effects, but it slows to a snails pace fairly soon after that bombastic intro. A lot of the newer Ratchet & Clank games have had this issue because quite frankly we aren't ever going to get the original trio of titles again. The formula just isn't there anymore inside of these games. So you end up with a lot of pretty visuals, some cornball dialogue, and a lot of cutscenes that sort of impact the overall world-building by being so schizophrenic in terms of pacing that you don't really want to chill out or explore anything as the narrative is just pushing you to the next set-piece or action sequence.

    My biggest gripe is the colors are ridiculous. A lot of very bright neon greens, purples and some of the effects kind of make stuff difficult to actually see what's going on in particularly busy segments. This title has a lot in common with a Crack in time in terms of its narrative flow, but that is just a huge disservice to the evolution the series needs to survive- its not there. Crack in time was literally my last Ratchet & Clank title that I bothered trying to play through and it became sort of dull after the first hour or so. That's pretty crazy to me, since that came out 14 years ago. That's how little these games have changed to be quite honest. Though I do like the addition of a female Lombax character (again, even though their already was one and they just sort of wrote her out of the plot for no reason several times), I think Rivet should've just got her own game. The fact that they don't want to really explore new territory or that stuff is basically just recycled wholesale from the older games (like entire levels passed off as homages instead of the recycled maps that they are) tells you all you really need to know about the development team behind the series now.

    Personally, its perfectly fun, its nothing amazing and it might even be the end of the series for a while, but that's alright. We still have the originals, and a couple of the PS3 titles are certainly worth checking out. Its just sort of a shame that this newer series doesn't really share the same passion or quality writing the older series had. Performance-wise I really didn't have issues.. which was shocking. I got about 60 fps or more with a few dips below 60 with everything set to very high preset alongside Ray tracing set to all very high/ high settings. The game looks good with Ray tracing, but not good enough for the performance penalty. I'm running a 2080ti, and a 11900k with some decently overclocked 32GB of Patriot DDR4 RAM and didn't run into stutter outside of one or two instances during the "rift" jumping sequence near the beginning of the game. Considering how often Sony articles seem to paint these games as "only being possible" on their hardware, its interesting that we got a port that doesn't really have any issues or limitations based on the hardware it was made for. Ironically, I'm running the game on an NVMe SSD, which is probably 2 or even 3 times faster than the Playstation 5's SSD.

    I think its worth trying, but if you're a fan of the older series I would wait for this to go on sale later on down the road before picking it up.    … Expand

    Like Marvel's Spider-Man, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart suffers from combat that's sometimes too messy, a maximum difficulty that's certainly not tested in the game as a whole, soulless side quests (though admittedly more acceptable than in Spider-Man), a more than dubious optimization, notably with ray-tracing, and a release status where players are still considered beta testers.

    even with patch 1.728 the game continues to exit to Windows and an error report warning appears. Just to be sure I swapped my Rtx 3060 with my friend's more powerful Rtx 4070 but the same problem occurs. Modifying visual settings did not improve as the issue remains

    The successful port brought a game to PC that simply isn't available on Steam or the Epic Game Store. Seriously, you just can't get a game like this on PC. Accessible, entertaining in every aspect, funny, cleverly written and acted, audiovisually awesome. This is a AAA production with everything you expect from it. [Issue#329]

    Not that being more emotional and being fun are mutually exclusive – as Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart proves time and again. As the series enters into its third (!!!) decade, this PC port is a fine way to show that the Ratchet and Clank are still compelling characters, and even if there are a few points where it feels like the game could use a little more polish in terms of performance, they can’t take away the fact that Rift Apart is an outstanding game.
