With the help of the community we have created a version of Rayman Arena very easy to install on Windows 10/11 with the addition of the possibility of playing online with hamachi thanks to the lan mode which has been improved compared to the original.

FAQ
To help "revive" the game, we have organized a tournament to be held in November on the game with small prizes up for grabs. If it works, we will often organize this kind of tournament on this game. The aim of the tournament is above all to have fun together and to help everyone discover or rediscover the game. Hope to find a lot of interested players here. See you soon on our French-speaking discord.Q: Where can I download the game?
A: You can download the game from https://rayman-arena-online.ml/.
Q: Do I download the Definitive Edition or the portable version?
A: That is all up to you. The Definitive Edition comes with zZeck's online play patch, a HD version of the game with AI upscaled textures, Radmin VPN, Rayman Control Panel, DgVoodoo, and some custom community-made character skins. The portable version is the base game with zZeck's online play patch, and takes up less space on your hard drive.
Q: How can I play online?
A: After you have completed the installation of the game and Radmin VPN, open Radmin VPN. You can create a network for you and your friends, or you can join an existing network. After you created your own network or joined one, open the game and once you're at the menu, click LAN play. Use the key combination alt+tab. A Windows Firewall window may pop up, but there is also a chance that it won't. If the window pops up for you, it will ask if you allow Rayman Arena to connect. Click allow, and close the game. Now go to your firewall settings and check all the boxes at r_arena and Radmin VPN. You will need administrator rights for this. Click OK and open the game again. The online mode should work for you now! From now on, you can play online by clicking LAN play in the menu. You can choose a name for yourself, pick a character and either create a lobby or join an existing one.
Q: How can I add custom skins and textures?
A: Check out gamer72's video on how to replace and add skins and textures: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPR5yo9F6DY. Some custom community-made skins are already available in the game. You can also find some extra skins here, and submit your self-made skin as well: https://forum.rayman-arena-online.ml/viewforum.php?f=5
Q: I’m getting the error “Rayman Arena not initialized” after trying to launch the game. What do I do?
A: Open the installer of the game and continue until you can click “Repair”. Your problem should be fixed after the installer is done.
Q: When I open the installer, I get a popup window saying "Your PC is being protected". What does this mean and what should I do?
A: Since the installer file is not digitally signed by any company, Windows Smartscreen will warn you about a potentially dangerous file. Don't worry, though. Click on "more information", then click on "run anyway". The installation process should begin now.
Q: I am getting a CD2 error on the portable version of the game. What do I do?
A: Open Windows Explorer and go to C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Windows\Ubisoft. You will find the ubi.ini file. Delete it. Delete the ubi.ini in C:\Windows\Ubisoft as well. After this, you should not get the error again.
Q: I am getting the error 0xc0000142 when trying to launch the game. What do I do?
A: Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Rayman Arena The Definitive Edition Online\game, then open either the SD or HD folder depending on which version you use. Delete the dinput8.dll and xidi.hookmodule.32.dll files. You may not be able to use a controller in the game after deleting these files. After this, open the launcher, go to the "Config" tab and check "Vibration Off", otherwise the error will persist.
Q: My control settings don’t save! What should I do?
A: When you’re in the game’s menu, change your control settings, click “Load/save settings”, then click on “Save”. Your settings should be saved now. Your settings do not carry over from the SD to the HD version of the game or the other way around. Your control settings also don’t carry over once you install a newer version of the game. You will have to change your control settings every time, for now at least.
