Yesterday when I got the Russian version, I decided to simply import one of my older saved games, because I assumed they would be compatible (since the same executables can be used across all versions - the language is determined by the data files).
Turns out the saves are sort-of compatible, but not fully. When loading the game, the final score, the beaten levels, the score for each level and the total number of cages are preserved, however:
- Bonus levels, videos and extra content ("Wanna Kick Rayman") is not preserved - all of them are unavailable as if the game has just been started.
- And this is the weirdest thing - the game seems confused and does not properly keep track of which cages have been released. When a level is replayed, every cage triggers the cage medal, and the total goes beyond the max for the level. Moreover, it fails to even keep track of the cages broken in the current playthrough, so you can go beyond twice the maximum. I replayed CF twice, breaking 7 cages the first time, 10 the second time, and now my total for the level is displayed as 27/10 (and the game shows 77 cages total). I assume the count will increase further by replaying levels, but don't know it will hit some maximum or just wrap-around / error out at some point).
- Unlike cage counts, points are not accumulated. When replaying a level, the final score is not updated, unless it's improved (normal behavior)
- The point targets for unlocking extras and bonus levels are not triggered (probably because the total score has exceeded them already).
Is this a known glitch?
