‘Bully’ Patch Not Fixing Issues?

If you are one of those sad saps who bought the Xbox 360 of Bully, you most assuredly know that the game is prone to frequent framerate drops, audio hiccups and outright freezing. However, Rockstar as of today these issues may be a thing of the past as Rockstar, making good on their promise for a patch to fix these issues, has released a patch that is supposed to have fixed these issues.

But has it?

There are still complaints, post-patch, from players who are still experiencing these glitches. In fact, on the official Xbox forums there are a couple of threads addressing the lack of repairs. Xbox LIVE member “shirtlover” sums it up:

“In 20 hours of gameplay I’ve only frozen twice. NOW that I get patched my sound is horrible and the framerate appears to be very jittery and I’ve locked up 3 times in less than 2 hours. WTF Rockstar? This is bogus.”

On MTV’s blog, Multiplayer, user tCobra notes that his game conitnues to freeze and suffer from poor framerate:

My Game is still freezing and and having frame rate drops. There are also auido giltches. It really is too bad this is a great game.

…English is not his forté.

So let me ask you all — has the patch fixed Bully for you? I’ve played it for about 45 minutes and to this point, there was only one instance of framerate hiccups, though I’ve noticed my audio quality go straight to hell. But I want to know if it’s working for you.

    Still locking up on initial loading for me… and if I do make it into the game it locks up when exiting the dorm room. Worse? Not quite sure as I never was able to play it more than 30 minutes without a total lockup. It seems worse though, and absolutely no improvement.

    YES >=[
    Its driving me absolutely crazy
    Mine freezes up every 30 MINUTES AT LEAST =[
    I have a mind to call Rockstar and get this sorted, why should I pay for a game that I can’t play on?
    I didnt have an XBox live account before Bully, I had to run a ethernet cable from the ground floor of my house to connect and set up an account, after all that it didnt even make a difference!!!!!!!!

    It fixed mine, but I still can’t understand why this game has loading screens. I’m kinda regretting spending the money on this game.

    That patch wasn’t for fixing the Glitches. It was to keep the Trainers away. Ive played the game and used my old trainers for easy play and what happens after I press the Key designation was that the game crashes instantaneously.
