Where Are Bully: Scholarship Edition Save Files Located?
Bully stores report-card progress as BullyFile1-style files in its own Documents folder, with no Steam Cloud backup.
Last updated
Bully: Scholarship Edition keeps saves in its own Documents folder, not under Rockstar Games like its siblings. BullyFile1 and numbered siblings hold each slot, created on first launch.
Two traits define backup duty. No Steam Cloud exists, so local copies are everything. And the game insists on a real local Documents path, which OneDrive redirection and antivirus blocks both break in confusing ways.
Where Bully: Scholarship Edition stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Bully Scholarship Edition
BullyFile1 and siblings per slot. No Steam Cloud; copy the folder yourself. OneDrive Documents backup and antivirus blocks are the classic save-failed causes.
~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/12200/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Documents/Bully Scholarship Edition
Proton prefix for app ID 12200; the Documents tail inside mirrors Windows. Same OneDrive caveat does not apply, but closed-game copies still do.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Bully: Scholarship Edition saves?
Copy the whole Bully Scholarship Edition folder elsewhere with the game closed. There is no Cloud copy, so this folder is the only record of progress.
Bully shows Save failed. How do I fix it?
Check OneDrive folder backup and antivirus blocks first: both silently redirect or deny the Documents path Bully requires. Local Documents plus an allowed folder fixes most cases.
