I own it on PS2 and it doesn't run very well either (a lot of frame drops to half the refresh rate), I've tried Arena on Xbox and that runs much better.

I have an old 2 CD version of Rayman M for the PC. It was actually my first ever Rayman game, and not long after my friend gave me his copy of Rayman 2 for PC, and since then Rayman 2 is probably my favourite game ever. BUT, I still like M, and play it from time to time.

As for the GOG topic, I rather they add Arena actually, as it has the lan option for multiplayer, which M lacks, thus making it impossible to play online. If they add Arena though, I will be one of the first to buy it, that much I can promise :D

Yeah, it'd be better to have a version with LAN support. I wonder if there are regional licencing issues relating to the M/Arena distinction. It wouldn't make any sense, but then these things rarely do, and that might explain why it's not on GOG (or anything else!) already…

Hi Guys,

so there was this information you got Rayman Arena working for ultiplayer on Evolve. Sadly the site closed so I dont know how to set up a multiplayer game for my 2 friends.
My Rayman Arena is running on Windows 10.
I would much appreciate if someone could help me setting up an online match.

Evolve recently closed down, but I haven't the time to try the new client they have. I believe I've made Arena work online with Hamachi, you can probably try with that. In the meantime I'm going to try this new client, to see if it still works.

I always wondered why was she on one of the loading screen in M as well, since she wasn't playable. I guess it's just for fun though.

Update: A few days later I tried to play a round in Rayman Arena but it says 'Please insert Rayman Arena Disc 2 CD in CDROM Drive. I dont know why because a few days ago it worked on my Win10.
For Rayman M I got ISO's that work without any problems since day 1, but I need Rayman Arena for setting up a multiplayer game. I didnt find any ISO's in the internet, just the game files.
The real question is what was the reason that Rayman Arena did work on my Win10 without any problems and without ISO. Maybe someone has an idea? I tried to mount the Rayman M ISO's and open Arena but it didnt work. :pfff:

Edit: Arena works when I insert only RaymanM 2 ISO, lol. Still got the problem that I cant create an online match. Server creation failed does the game say as I try to start for example a race.

What other program are you using to play the game? Hamachi?

Yes I tried to change in DX Setup from xDSL to Local Area Network and tried to create a match over Hamachi. My brother uses Win7 and he had no problems with creating a room. Maybe it is a problem that only exists ast Win10 - I cant create or see any rooms in LAN.

Interesting, though I'm not sure what the problem might be.There was some workaround that was needed to play the game with evolve on win10, I would take a look at it, to see if it works or not. But then again, I haven't tried playing on win10 yet, so I can't tell what the problem - and the solution - is. :/

I have tried many different applications for doing this and nothing works. It just says "server creation failed" every time but when I close the VPN-software it works. I have tried ZeroTier and Hamachi and both had the same problem. It's not a win10 issue as I have managed to get local multiplayer working just fine.
Anybody that knows a proper solution? I have heard that Evolve used to work but that has since shut down.

You could find downloads online but due to copyright law of course I can't post them here.
But you can find them hehe :P
Otherwise you can find the original european release for PC pretty cheap on Ebay.
I even find them in second hand stores sometimes.

To this day, I still haven't played through the game yet, despite owning it a while. For some reason I would just do a couple of races then turn off the game, forgetting to return to it again and finish it. :oops2:

I want to actually sit down and play through the game soon enough. I admit I'd also like to own a copy on PC, but since it's not available digitally I'd have to buy a copy of the game on CD's then jump through hoops to actually get it working.
