Bully patch making things worse?

by Richard Mitchell { Mar 25th 2008 at 5:45PM }

Hey everyone. Remember how the Xbox 360 version of Bully had all those problems? Remember how Rockstar soon delivered a patch to iron out all the bugs? Well, it looks like the patch didn't quite work as advertised. In fact, if reports on the intertubes are to be believed, the patch actually made the game worse for some players. Specifically, there are reports of audio stuttering, which is something we've heard from our own readers, as well as graphical glitches and freezing issues. The question now is whether or not Rockstar plans to patch the patch.

is it just me or is that patch image over-used? :-P

I don't have the game, so I don't know what the patch did.

I'm commenting because I love the caption. :)

I rented the game the day the patch came out and declined the patch after hearing the reports of it being worse. I played for an hour and it froze. I decided to patch and just finished the game today. Only problems I encountered were minor audio glitches before and after a loading period. The game was a blast from the start to end so it didn't bother me.

Should really be a "i just wanna see the results" option.

My audio was stuttery before and after the patch, playing from an ipod on a custom playlist it stutters on laoding screens usually, nothing too major.

I've had audio stutter and game slow down but no freezing. In my eyes thats an upgrade.

LOL, first time I ever laughed at one of the captions.

I actually had zero problems pre-patch, but since the patch, im getting occasional audio glitches

i havent had any problems. all ive noticed is that the dialog isnt exactly in sync with the animation.

its off by a half sec or less, nothing thats game breaking and ive gotten used to it.

no freezes/lock ups or audio problems. (yet, just started chapter4 of 5)
