Rayman Legends is a singleplayer and multiplayer side view platform game in the Rayman series.

The official online service is no longer available, making it impossible to play some of the content (the Challenges levels relied on Ubisoft servers that now are defunct).[2]

Changing language

The language is selected when installing the game.
In the Steam version the language can be changed through the game's properties on the Steam library.
In other versions the language can be changed manually by editing <path-to-game>\uplay_install.state with a hex editor. The language is encoded as a 5-byte locale code at offset 46 (hexadecimal 0x2E). The values corresponding to each of the languages are provided in the table below. The Uplay (Ubisoft Connect) application must be restarted for the change to take effect.[5]

The game can be played online with Parsec (streaming of video/audio/keyboard/gamepad). To fix in-game slowdowns during streaming, run the game in windowed mode. For more troubleshooting see.

Issues unresolved

Black screen after launching

The game launches properly, and sound can be heard. But the screen stays completely black, no visuals at all.
Run the game as administrator.[citation needed]
  • Alternate temporary fix: Change your screen resolution to 1280x720 (or any other low screen resolutions) before you launch the game every time if desperate.
Delete registry key
  1. Search for regedit and open it
  2. Navigate to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Ubisoft\Rayman Legends\Settings\
  3. Delete the whole Settings key
  4. Start/restart the game

Issues fixed

Crash to desktop promptly after launching

Uplay performs a check and when you don't pass, the game stops after a few seconds.
Recent patches should've fixed this issue but some users may still have issues.
Start Uplay in offline mode[6]
  1. Start Uplay
  2. Click on menu icon and select "go offline"
  3. Disconnect from internet.

Notes

If using the Steam version keep Uplay open when starting the game and put Steam into offline mode as well.
You can also make Uplay to always start in offline mode in Uplay settings.
If the above does not help, you can try adding custom firewall rules for UPlay.exe and UPlayWebCore.exe in the Uplay installation folder. Deny both of those applications internet access when creating the rules. Uplay will try to log in and fail, asking you what to do. Clicking "Go offline" should launch the game immediately.

Crash when trying to access options menu

See User:Marioysikax/Research.

Run the game at screen refresh rate

Fullscreen mode defaults to the monitor's minimum refresh rate, such as 24 Hz or 40 Hz, even if the screen refresh rate is set higher than that.
Override refresh rate set by game[7]
  1. Download Chiri's resolution forcing tool.
  2. Extract d3d9.dll and d3dx.ini to the installation folder.
  3. Open d3dx.ini.
  4. Change refresh_rate=60 to desired hertz; e.g. refresh_rate=120.

Will not affect currently-installed games; simply log into the service as usual afterwards.
