Heavy Rain patch "very soon"
Addresses "a range of minor issues".
Sony has a patch for Heavy Rain in the final stages of development, and reckons an update will be released "very soon".
That's what the developer wrote on the US PlayStation forum.
"As mentioned previously, this patch is not targeted purely at the issues reported in this thread but does address a range of minor issues which could be contributing factors. Given the small percentage of players affected by these issues and the difficulty that has been had in reproducing them here we're optimistic that this patch resolves your problems but cannot guarantee that this will be the case," wrote the senior community development manager at Sony.
Since launch, various reports of game freezes and glitches have emerged on the internet (I personally had to redo a few hours' progress, as it happens).
Heavy Rain, released at the end of February, provided Sony with a UK All-Formats number one on the week of release and a top-five finishes subsequently. Heavy Rain was fourth this week.
Praise for Quantic Dream's PS3 creation has been coming from all angles: Microsoft Game Studios creative mastermind Peter Molyneux turned out to be a big fan, and Hollywood director Neil LaBute said he hoped the "sophistication" of the game would be echoed through the industry in times to come.
We, too, heaped praise on the forward-thinking game, scoring Heavy Rain 9/10.
Since then we've tracked down game creator David Cage for a post-launch chat, and delved into the DLC to see what's on offer.

Still, no technical issues here.

And for that matter didn't have any freezes either.

It is good however to see that when faced with reports of their game freezing and crashing that they've investigated it and then reported back to the community. I think we can all name a few games with similar issues where the studio in question has simply refused to acknowledge that issues exist.

Still doesnt feel like a buggy game as overall still well presented and good to get the patches out asap to smoothen its minor rough spots.

Maybe some people just doesn't notice tearing?
Or maybe tearing is only an issue in upscaled 1080p?

If I look at game data on the PS3 there is always a corrupt file that appears after trying to load this game. I delete that and keep my three save games going. Really annoying me now though.

When games like God of War III, Final Fantasy XIII and Uncharted 2 can have beautiful graphics with absolutely no tearing whatsoever then I see no reason why other games can't either so I now vote with my wallet.

I had the same thing. It's a good game, but this is rather unacceptable. Someone told me it ran a lot smoother when you deleted the very first patch (around 230 MBs) which I did and which allowed me to complete it after all. Still, around 6 or 7 hours of my life wasted on redoing a bunch of stuff...

Heavy Rain is smooth as mixed fruit compared to that.

I have only done one playthrough because of this, so keen to see what difference the patch makes.
