Prior to launch, Heavy Rain received a 230MB patch and what exactly it did was unknown and currently remains unknown. With the game now on retail shelves, many are going to their local retailers and picking the game up in eager anticipation to bring it home and immerse themselves in a unique gaming experience. Sadly, after installing the 230MB patch, they are running into some technical issues with the game.
Among the complaints, many are complaining about game crashes, audio skipping, save/loading problems, and some characters getting caught in furniture. Not all are complaining about the game, though. For many, the game is running fine after the patch and they are enjoying the experience the game offers. Whether the problems are widespread or just a minor problem for some can't be determined, yet. Since the game isn't an online title, you don't need to get the patch to play the game, but you will have to deny the patch every time you play the game.
If you are having any of the problems mentioned above, let us know in the comments. When we reviewed the game, none of these problems were present and it seems that the patch could be cause of the problems. Hopefully, we'll hear something about these issues from Sony and a solution in the near future.
