Rayman Arena is now abandonware so there's no way to purchase it digitally, the only options are to buy a used physical version or pirate it.
I would recommend to use the portable version you can find online or download it from the website I shared on my previous post which also includes the online patch, a mod with HD textures and patched executables that support different aspect ratios
Hello everyone ! I came here because the Rayman Arena Online discord is currently pretty dead. I cannot help playing to Rayman Arena Online since I discovered its existence and I'm looking for obsessed fan like me who would be up to play for hours in battle mod. If anyone is interested here is the discord link: https://discord.com/channels/9014589971 ... 6804608042
Hope to have news of you
Is there a Torrent in the file download for this?? When i put it into virus total it said " Trojan.Win32.MSIL_Heur.A"? Is it a false positive?
It is a false positive, some virus scanners will mark it as a virus when it's not actually a virus. It's because Rayman Arena Definitive Edition Online is not signed by Microsoft.
Hi. So there is one intermittent remaining false positive.
To explain briefly, the program was pretty much almost abandoned in the state it was in at the time. So I decided to try help out by trying to revive it. There were 42 false positives on VirusTotal when I first started trying to work on this, and it was in a really bad state. It was bad enough that Windows Defender kept deleting the exe file, and most browsers wouldn't even allow you do download the game at all.
I spent a lot of my free time trying to clean it up. The code was really bad and that's no secret. I got it down to the point that VirusTotal will sometimes see one false positive still, and sometimes it will say it's clean. It works on people's computers and doesn't have Defender get involved anymore etc. I'd already spent enough of my free time trying to get this all cleaned up and working to the point where I felt trying to narrow down that single false positive that intermittently shows up is not important, since the program is simply working and nobody is getting the exe removed while trying to play the game anymore.
I was also in the process of trying to recreate the launcher from scratch with modern dotnet, which will eliminate this issue entirely. I haven't found the time to get back to it yet, but I will eventually. The idea of using modern dotnet will also mean that it will work on other OS such as Linux and even MacOS. The only thing is that it uses Radmin, and that's not available on those systems, so a new method would have to be used to go online when it comes to those OS.

Ah, that figures! That explains why I wasn't able to find it back then years ago when I learned that a PC version of M/Arena existed.

Alright. Sorry I panicked, sent a message to about 3 people. I trust you Steo, and I’m sorry for not trusting you.
Yeah the project was in a pretty messy state before I tried to help out with it. Several people who know I was working on it will vouch for the fact that it was extremely bad and had so many virus flags that it was avoided by people due to fear that it was really malicious. That was when it had about 42 hits on VirusTotal though.
I don't know why it still has that single hit and only sometimes, but it's a false positive. I know the newer launcher when finished won't even have that though, which I'm pretty much only going to work on when I have time, along with Xander who designs the UI.

Someone here that can help me with the definitive edition? I'm running WIN11 and just tried single player out. FPS are not consistant, sometimes midgame the sound of the game disappears and 3 of 4 games directly after end screen the game crashed. I would appreciate some tips to fix.
Edit: My USB interfaced caused the problems. Had to change USB Port, sample rate and deactivate audio improvements in settings.
Just wanted to thank the people who worked on this, i haven't gotten to play yet but I'm excited it was done!
Once i get home i want to try figuring out how to run it multiplayer with some friends
