Get to review (not so much give it a score but to review) Rachet and Clank: Rift Apart on PC for my 1st job, except it kept on freezing last night which is frustrating. Had to send Insomniac (the devs) a message about it because it was annoying. I have the minimum and even recommended specs for the game, lowered the graphics to medium and it still freezed. Hopefully when I mentioned in the email "I got a review code for this" it'll bump up the issue.
Speaking of games freezing, I was having a couple of games freeze/crash after 30+ minutes of gameplay which was annoying me. Turns out it was happening because I undervolted my GPU a while back. Was annoying to troubleshoot but all good now. That'll teach me for trying to be clever.
How the hell did you do that?
Undervolt? Through MSI Afterburner, customising the Voltage/Frequency curve. I followed a guide I found online for my specific GPU (3080 Ti) which seemed to work fine but yeah, when the performance was pushed it was no bueno so I just set it back to default.
Wild, absolutely wild!
Love the Ratchet and Clank, huge fan of Insomniac (i have my ps1 with the first three Spyro games still, and my R&C games for PS2).
Sad that it's being shite. I honestly am not a fan of the reboot on the new gen consoles, or the newer series, so I cannot help.... I was just using your post to gush about R&C for PS2 haha.
I hope they help you out! I have heard they are one of the better devs kicking around these days!!
Love insomniac. I played the old R+C's but I wasn't a huge fan growing up. But I liked the remake that was cool.
But yeah I'm super disappointed about the freezing. It seems I'm not the only one with the issue as well.
Reminds me of the fiasco when Insomniac made the Spyro game for PS2, before they sold that IP to Sierra. It was a clusterfuck that barely played at all.
Sad. I hope they can fix it up - R&C is so iconic
