Issues unresolved
(retail) "Please insert CD" message with pirate head image
- At the end of The Echoing Caves an anti-piracy message will appear and stop progress, even when using a legitimate copy of the game.[5]
- This has been fixed in the GOG release. You can copy your save file to that version and continue playing.
Issues fixed
Blurry and distorted graphics
Use nGlide[citation needed]
|
- Download and install nGlide.
- Run
nGlide Configurator from the start menu.
- Select your screen resolution. Change Aspect ratio to Fit to Screen if you want to play in widescreen, and click Apply.
- Run
<path-to-game>\GXSetup.exe (causes screen to momentarily flicker).
- Change Renderer to Glide2 (1.0.0) Voodoo Graphics Glide 2 Driver and click OK.
- Run
Rayman2.exe as an admin (causes screen to momentarily flicker).
|
Use dgVoodoo2[citation needed]
|
- Download and extract the latest version of dgVoodoo2.
- Copy the contents of
MS as well as dgVoodooSetup.exe into <path-to-game> .
- Run
dgVoodooSetup.exe .
- Click the ./ button at the top of the window.
- Click the DirectX tab and select your desired resolution.

Notes
- Causes frame rate to jump between 30 and 60 FPS.
- White lines may appear on the edge of the screen when forcing MSAA.
|
32-bit depth not available (Glide)
Rearrange some files[citation needed]
|
- Copy GliVd1vf.dll from folder "Rayman 2\DLL" to folder "Rayman 2\DLL\Glide"
- Set Glide in GXSetup.exe
- Edit ubi.ini and replace x 16 to x 32
|
Crash to desktop on Windows 8.1 (GOG.com)
Install the game outside of the default folder[6][citation needed]
|
Screen flickering on startup
Run game in a window[citation needed]
|
See Windowed.
|
Game breaks after task switching
Update nGlide version[citation needed]
|
- Download the latest version of nGlide.
- Open the nGlide setup with 7-Zip.
- Extract the contents to the installation folder and overwrite the original files.
|
Run game in a window[citation needed]
|
See Windowed.
|
Low frame rate on Windows 8 (Retail)
Use nGlide[citation needed]
|
- Download and install nGlide.
- Run
<path-to-game>\GXSetup.exe .
- Set Renderer to Glide2.
|
Use DDRAW FPS Fix[citation needed]
|
- Download DDRAW FPS Fix.
- Extract the appropriate
ddraw.dll to the installation folder.
|
Run game in a window[citation needed]
|
See Windowed.
|
Impossible to complete bonus stages
- Alternating ← and → never fills the bar more than around 60%.[7]
Game runs in windowed mode (full screen fix)
Use nGlide (see above)[citation needed]
|
Use DxWrapper (uses default DX6 render)[citation needed]
|
- Download https://github.com/elishacloud/dxwrapper/releases
- Copy dxwrapper.ini, dxwrapper.dll, ddraw.dll (stub directory), into Rayman 2 directory
- Edit dxwrapper.ini: FullScreen = 1
- If you previously used Glide, run GXSetup to choose DirectX renderer.
- The best DX6 wrapper performance for this game. Behaves smoother than dgVoodoo and WineD3D. No 30 FPS dips.
- Overlays cause major FPS drops (e.g. Fraps, Steam, Uplay, MSI Afterburner). It's just enough to hide them by keyboard shortcut if available, or just close.
|
No options to choose in GXSetup (GOG.com version)
Copy lacking files from retail version[8]
|
- Download https://yadi.sk/d/0EpVFRPe3U9Lf7
- Unpack files to Rayman 2 directory
- Run GXSetup as admin
- Now GXSetup supposed to list all renderers (useful for changing DX6 to (n)Glide)
|
Game makes impossible to close after unsuccessful alt-tabbing
In Windows 10 press Win+Tab and drag & drop Rayman 2.exe to "Desktop 2", then close application in Task Manager
