19-Planet Compatibility Status
Current playability across all 19 Ratchet & Clank planets in ReRAC (v0.3.9-alpha), why upstream caps alpha planets at 90%, and active GitHub issue notes.
- All 19 planets in engine
- 4 planets at 90% ceiling
- 85% Veldin finale
- Updated through v0.3.9-alpha
How ReRAC measures planet completion (the 90% ceiling)
In the upstream status file (status.ts), every planet in Ratchet & Clank (2002) is scored from a player’s perspective in 5% increments, with one intentional cap: no planet exceeds 90% during alpha. The final 10% is reserved exclusively for end-to-end QA polish, edge-case regression checks and multi-platform verification. A 90% rating means every mission, gadget, cutscene, vendor item and Gold Bolt on that planet is implemented and played through.

v0.3.7), Heli-Pack, Thruster-Pack, Hydro-Pack, Magneboots, Grindboots, Hologuise, Pilot’s Helmet, and Giant Clank. - Gadgetron weapons, Gold Weapons & Skill Points: Accurate Bomb/Mine/Decoy/Doom landing reticles, platform momentum inheritance (
v0.3.7–v0.3.8), gold weapon shaders and purchase cutscenes (v0.3.2&v0.3.8), and Skill Point checkmarks in the pause menu (v0.3.6). - Front-end, saves & interplanetary flight: Memory card save/load with local timezone timestamps, autosave indicator (
v0.3.5), language persistence across English, French, German, Spanish and Italian (PR #57), and spaceship travel movies.
Open gameplay bugs tracked upstream (18 open issues)
| Issue | Area | Details & Practical Workaround |
|---|---|---|
| #63 | Nebula G34 (Blarg Station) | Intermittent crash with wgpu invalid buffer validation error reported on v0.3.8-alpha; save before Grindboots/Alien Queen routes and attach rac1-<time>.log if reproduced. |
| #58 | CodeBot doors | Softlock reported when interacting with the CodeBot gadget door sequence; keep a backup memory card slot before CodeBot rooms. |
| #62 | Aridia (Sand Sharks) | Mission enemy counter edge case during the Sand Shark extermination objective on Outpost X11. |
| #64 / #65 | Pause & Quit menu | Selecting Quit Game returns to the in-game title screen rather than closing the OS window (press Alt+F4 / Cmd+Q or close the window to exit completely). |
| Launcher #14 | Cutscene endings | Earlier builds clipped the tail end of certain movies; v0.3.9-alpha overhauled cutscene start/end fades and eliminated cut clicks. |

Common questions
Can you beat Ratchet & Clank from start to finish in ReRAC?
Every planet from Veldin (00) through Chairman Drek’s final fight on Veldin Return (18) is in the engine and playable. Because planets 05–17 are still undergoing full-campaign QA passes (75%–80% on the upstream tracker, with 14 rapid alpha fix releases so far), keep rotating save slots in case you hit an edge case such as Issue #58 or #63.
Was the Gemlik Base missing-ship softlock fixed?
Yes. Both the post-Qwark orange-canopy ship boarding (fixed in v0.3.3-alpha) and the missing ship when flying back to Gemlik Base after escaping (Issue #47, fixed via PR #59 in v0.3.8-alpha) are resolved in v0.3.9-alpha.
