Issues fixed

"No BigFile specified as First .exe Argument" error

Use the /B /TX Rayman4.bf command line argument or launch the game using CheckApplication.exe.[8]

Framerate is locked at 32 FPS

The game may lock itself to 32 FPS on modern operating systems due to broken 3D audio compatibility.
Use DirectSound 3D restoration software
If you use DSOAL, turn on EAX reverb in options, otherwise you'll encounter a freeze and crash with "Program crashed (un)expectedly. Going down..." after completing the first four mini-games after entering the unlocked big gate.
For IndirectSound you might want to edit eax1 and eax2 lines to true in dsound.ini[9]

FMVs fail to playback in-game

Modify video_folder
  1. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Ubisoft\Rayman4\{05D2C1BC-A857-4493-9BDA-C7707CACB937}\CheckApp
  2. Modify the video_folder entry.
  3. Change the directory value to the current installed directory.

The game cannot be maximized properly after task switching using DSR/VSR resolution

Set your desktop resolution the same as DSR/VSR resolution. Alt+Tab more than once, if still the same.

Crash on game launch

Use DirectSound 3D restoration software[10]
Set resolution to 1024 x 768 in game launcher[11]
Use dgVoodoo 2, or[12]
Reset 3D settings in Nvidia Control Panel to default[13]
Delete all your custom resolutions in Nvidia Control Panel (leave only your native resolution), or[14]
Disable Steam overlay in Steam game properties[15]

Notes

  1. SafeDisc retail DRM does not work on Windows 10[4] or Windows 11 and is disabled by default on Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1 when the KB3086255 update is installed.[5]
  2. 2.0 2.1 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>/15080/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (15080) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
  3. When running this game without elevated privileges (Run as administrator option), write operations against a location below %PROGRAMFILES%, %PROGRAMDATA%, or %WINDIR% might be redirected to %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore on Windows Vista and later (more details).
