(Bully works *almost* flawlessly out of the box with 1.7.0 build 1676. (But has been in this state for a long time now) Only issue is the blending effect, which compared to PS4 footage stretches too far away from models.)

|Comments=Game runs smoothly, no FPS drops or audio cutouts, but when i'm outside i see a very noticeable ghosting effect, no big news, was always happening, but it's annoying, and the reason i enabled manual hardware fixes was simply to turn off wild arms offset, that is an automatic hw hack for Bully, but it has the side effect of making the radar jittery and makes some text buggy. If you want the peak Bully experience, switch to software mode

==Known Issues==
{{Issue
{{Issue
|IssueName=Misplaced Background Blending effect
|IssueName=Misaligned depth blur effect
|IsFixed=0
|IssueLevel=1
|Description=The game's depth blur effect isn't emulated precisely in Hardware rendering and causes blue shift on the last couple columns of pixels on the right edge of the screen, and stretches too far off of distant models when upscaling, introducing considerable ghosting. This ghosting effect is much worse and much more noticeable in "OpenGL" and "Vulkan" Hardware renderers (Questionable) and Half Pixel Offset does not fix the issue, the issue does not occur in 1.6.0 stable, only on nightly (Tested on NTSC-U with Nightly Build 1.7.4988)
|Workaround=There is no full stable workaround for Hardware mode besides switching to Software mode or enabling Round Sprite to reduce it, Wild Arms Offset helps as well but it makes the radar jittery and makes some text buggy.

{{Issue
|IssueName=Black fading effect not working properly

|IssueLevel=0
|Description=When entering a room or building, black fading effect doesn't fully fade away and is displayed incorrectly. (Found in 1.6.0 and 1.7.0 Nightly)

|IssueLevel=0
|IssueLevel=0
|Description=The game's background blending effect stretches too far from the models.
|Description=On most loading screens, the U and Y in Bully have a line at the bottom of the letter, the issue is 100% about upscaling, as at Native resolution, the bug doesn't occur

|AffectedVersions
