Insomniac Games has announced that a new patch for Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time is now live. Patch 1.20 addresses challenge mode, the good Samaritan trophy bug and the Valkyrie boss glitch.

The Valkyrie battle crash bug saw the players “getting shot and dying at the moment the boss is defeated, or while the Valkyrie ship is still blowing up, ” causing the game to freeze. The challenge mode save bug happened if the player “backs out of the auto-save which appears when initiating challenge mode.” The patch will fix both of these bugs, and instructions will be given on how players can restart the Challenge mode playthrough.

Now I can’t claim to be an expert in the Ratchet & Clank series, this being my first exploration into the world of the popular Lombax and robot pair, however, it is a title that I have been keeping my eye on since the game was first unveiled earlier this year.
