Issues unresolved
Random Slowdowns and Graphical Glitches
Due to the fact that this game is a console port, occasional slowdowns in cutscenes and gameplay do occur. Fortunately, they don't impact the game too much. 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.
Random Crashes on Windows 10 64-bit
Like a multitude of very-to-slightly old games, Bully is prone to crashing on Windows 10 64-bit. Compatibility settings can increase playtime a variable amount before crashes occur, but they will still occur regardless; crash times can range anywhere from five minutes to a half-hour. Crashes may occur more often when using the framerate-unlocker .exe.
