(Undo revision 262195 by 194.8.130.24 (talk) It's an old game made before Win10 was even a thing.) |
(In my opinion, this should still be noted and it doesn't matter if the game was released by Windows 10. If an OS breaks a game, it should still be noted.) |

Graphical glitches occasionally occur in the game, but it appears to be limited to cut scenes. These issues can't be fixed but shouldn't impact the playability of the game.

Issues fixed
Loud Audio
Bully: Scholarship Edition may not properly control audio volumes if you don't manually configure your audio device to match the game's audio configuration. If you have stereo speakers or headphones, ensure that your audio output device is configured as a stereo device via the Windows Sound properties and then set the in-game sound setting to stereo; if you wish to play the game in surround sound, set your audio device to 5.1 via Windows Sound properties and then set the in-game setting to surround.
