Heavy Rain Patch Update
Just a quick update for any of you hoping and waiting for a patch that will fix the bug that killed your game of Heavy Rain. After speaking with Quantic Dream and being told that a patch was in the works, now Sam from Sony Computer Entertainment Europe has been posting the following on message boards:
The latest news is that the game patch has now completed development and is currently in the final stages of testing. While a fixed release date is not currently available we are expecting the update to be released very soon. As mentioned previously, this patch is not targetted 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. As ever, once there is more news I'll update you all further, however in the meantime we appreciate your patience in this matter.
I understand that a game like Heavy Rain is a very complex undertaking and with the sheer variety of paths you can take through the narrative, it's only natural that some bugs might slip through. But not being able to load and continue your saved game? That's kind of a big one. My only concern is that he says that the patch will address "a range of minor issues" that he hopes will fix everything. Yeah, that's not making me real confident, there, Sam.
