Stuck in Pocket Dimension 87-84-20 on Blizar Prime

The exit to the pocket dimension on Blizar Prime where you get the Ranger Chestplate is permanently shut with no way to reopen it. Dying and reloading the game/save does not work. There are no previous backups either that I can access.

Is there a fix to this? It seems to be a known issue on the PS5 as well- unbelievable that it hasn't been patched. I have no desire to replay the entire game as I was going back through all previous planets for collectables before the final battle.

A developer of this app has marked a post as the answer to the topic above.

I'm sorry to hear you ran into an issue with the game. For reference I will share the full details about backup saves here.

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart features automatic backup saves at key points in the story. If your current game slot is stuck in an unplayable state, you can return to a backup save instead of starting the game over.

To do this, exit the game and go to the Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart folder that is located inside the Windows Documents folder. In here, you will find a folder with a long number that contains the save files and the backups. To restore a backup, remove the ".backupXX" extension from the filename to overwrite the normal save. So slot0-s.save.backup01 would become slot0-s.save.

Please be aware that overwriting existing save files can result in losing progress. You can backup your own save files by copying them and storing them in another folder, before overwriting any file.

For detailed instructions, read the support page on backup saves: https://support.insomniac.games/hc/en-us/articles/17813213638925

Can you be more specific about how precisely you "got stuck"?

Is it the one where you get the galactic ranger chest? With the invisible platforms? I just did that no problem.

Lol funny story I have. When you enter at the start with the dogs, I didn't realize you could make the platforms appear by hitting the buttons. So I watch how the dog moves and shot the ground to see where the shots stopped lmao. The last half I noticed the button and facepalmed XD.

(Critical) Pocket Dimension 87-84-20 (Found a solution)

This is regarding the pocket dimension with the vanishing floors, that can render players stuck because the door leading back to the level disappears.

My suggestion if you want to beat it is to do a manual save right before you start it. The trick to beating this is to not fall at all during the entire pocket dimension, this includes after you collect the armor. What happens if you fall is that it will reset you back to the entrance but it doesn't load the pocket dimension correctly when that happens. So as long as you don't fall, the door between dimensions will not disappear.

This issue is specific to the pocket dimension on Blizar Prime, and this issue does not happen if you do the pocket Dimension before you finish the drill sequence Quest.

I fell and it still worked for me. Even turned around to make sure and the exit was still there. Wonder what causes it to disappear for some people.

It's hard to say, my progress In the game is after the drill sequence. I made it to the end and beat the pocket dimension. Fell after missing a jump and the portal disappeared. Reloaded the save, did it again without falling and it did not dissappear.

I did that portal before the drill, if it makes a difference.

#BUG when picking up a piece of armor it does not let you leave the dimensional pocket

I went into a dimensional pocket on Blizar Prime and when I pick up the armor the portal closes and I can't go back. I have closed the game, reinstalled the game and checked the local steam files and it still doesn't work. I can't advance the game

This is a bug present also in the PS5 version.

Reload a save before then. Otherwise you're screwed. In the future keep constant manual saves and at least 2 of them with separate saves. I do this for ALL games when possible.

I don't have another save, do I really have to start over?
