Despite having to download a rather substantial patch on launch day, or perhaps because of it, players in North America and Europe are experiencing glitches with Heavy Rain.

Some, like me, are lucky, only experiencing odd moments of stuttering where the audio and video don’t quite sync.

Others are experiencing more severe issues. Reports of the game locking up at various points are common, and an issue with auto-saves not loading and players having to go back hours in the game to find a working restart point.

Luckily a fix should be coming soon, but for now save often and carry a big stick!
