How to stop Bully from Crashing in Windows 10.
Hi everyone, i know that A LOT of players have crashes with Bully on Windows 10 and 8, so after studying a lot how the game worked, i've finally found a solution for it.

The game was made in 2006 and later ported to PC in 2008, Bully Scholarship Edition WAS NOT PROGRAMMED to run on Quad Core CPU's (or Hyper threaded CPU's) it's not Windows 10 fault, It's your CPUs fault, so how do we make it work? disabling my Cores? no, that's to extreme, we're gonna make the game use ONLY 2 CPU Cores, here's how you do it:

1- Open the game as Administrator (wait till you get to the game's Main Menu)
2- Once the game is in the Main Menu, Press the Windows key.
3- Now, open your Task Manager, find the Bully Application and right click on it, an option called "Go To Details" will appear, click on it, a list of all your Applications will appear, and the Bully Application will be Highlighted, right click on Bully, and select "Set Affinity" now you will see your CPU Cores, and they will all be marked, unmark CPU 2 and CPU 3, CPU 0 and CPU 1 must be left marked, click "OK" and close Task manager.
4- Now Bully will only be able to use 2 Cores of your CPU. and the game will work as is programmed to work, my game usually lasted from 5 to 15min before crashing, after i came up with this, i was able to play for 3 Hours straight with no issues, you gotta do this process everytime you open the game (unless you want to disable your Cores, that's up to you)
5 - Enjoy!

Another fix:
So guys if you still haven't fixed it.I have another solution.Download this patch {LINK REMOVED}
(about 30mb).Then go to games location and extract files.Should work perfect.Ask for questions i hope you fix it ! gl
They removed my link,just watch this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBHfrmzdSP0

I'm going to try combining this with running in Vista (SP2) compatibility.

Run it in Wii compadability mode with Dolphin, it's far more stable.
