Essential improvements
Rayman 2 Input Fix
- Fixes an issue with controllers not being detected on modern operating systems. Can also be useful for mice.
- Xbox One controllers/modern XInput devices have broken trigger support. Due to the way modern XInput and DirectInput handle trigger support, the game interprets both triggers as pressed. Thus, the player will be in strafe mode by default. Holding down the Left Trigger allows for normal movement.

Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in
~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/15060/in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (15060) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
