Ultra-widescreen

Use the Heavy Rain Ultrawide and Multimonitor patcher^[2]

2560x1080, 3440x1440 and 32:9 patchers are available.

Download one of the patchers.
Unpack the archive and point the patcher at <path-to-game>\HeavyRain.exe

Some of the UI elements will be scaled correctly, while others will be stretched.

Results in more horizontal and vertical FOV - no pillarboxing.

The FOV compensation method leads to some of the scenes appearing too zoomed-out compared to the original.

Vertical sync (Vsync)

Edit the config file^[3]

Open <path-to-game>\user_setting.ini.
Find VSync=1 and VSyncInterval=1 and set both values to 0.
Save the file and launch the game.

Running above 60 FPS might cause issues with animations.

Adjusting the in-game Limit FPS setting will require closing the game and editing the file again.
