Gamers Complain of Freezing Issues in Bully: SE (Update: Rockstar Responds, Apologizes)
by Aaron Linde and Chris Faylor, Mar 06, 2008 10:20am PSTUpdate 2: An official statement from Rockstar on the Bully: Scholarship Edition issues is forthcoming, a Rockstar representative has told Shacknews.
Update 1: Rockstar co-founder Sam Houser has responded, claiming that the company never encountered any problems while testing Bully: Scholarship Edition on the Xbox 360 and is working to solve the issues as soon as possible.
"It appears that some older 360s are experiencing framerate issues, freezes and other problems," he told Kotaku. "I am horrified, and we are now working around the clock to rectify this situation."
"We apologise to everyone affected for the inconvenience," Houser continued. "We would never shove anything out the door--we never have and never will."
Original Story: Reports are surfacing across the internet of freezing glitches and other technical issues in the just-released Xbox 360 edition of Rockstar Vancouver's Bully: Scholarship Edition.
Numerous users on the gaming forum NeoGAF have complained of audio sync issues, achievement glitches and lockups in the revamped port Xbox 360. Complaints have also surfaced on the official Xbox forums as well as within the Shacknews community. The Wii edition does not appear to be afflicted by the above problems.
Though failure rates of the Xbox 360 hardware may account for some woes, widespread reports of the same issues particular to Bully: Scholarship Edition have led many gamers to attribute the errors to the game itself.
Shacknews has reached Rockstar for comment, but the publisher has not yet responded at the time of this writing.

Hello,
Some Xbox 360 games load data into the Hard Drive’s cache, which can become fragmented over time, which may affect the gameplay. Clearing the cache may be beneficial in these instances. In order to do this please follow the these steps:
- Go the “System†blade on the Xbox 360 main menu.
- Select Memory.
- Highlight the Hard Drive, then press Y to view the device options screen.
- On the Xbox 360 controller, press X twice, then the left bumper, then the right bumper, the then X button twice again.
- You will be prompted to confirm system maintenance. Select Yes by pressing A.
This will clear the system cache and defragment the fragmented data. Be advised that this will also delete any Microsoft Updates for your games (not downloadable content), however these will be downloaded automatically the next time you play these games while connected to Xbox Live.
