Rayman M installation problems

[Naniix]

Hello.

I'm having trouble installing Rayman M on my PC.

I enter Disk 1 and my Virus Scanner (Panda Security) can't run "SetupUbi.exe" because it says it has "Generic Malware"

In the past with this game I already had problems with this too. The game was playable, but suddenly shut down at moments. I have no idea how this Malware got into Disk 1..

Any suggestions? (I already thought about buying the game again but then I shouldn't know if I have the same problem..)

False positive maybe? Disable the virus scanner while installing and re-enable it afterwards.

I have other errors while installing rayman M, says something like: un erreur du fiche de I/O ... (Somithing about can't read from the CD,turns out that Textere32.cnt or so can't be read so i can olny play the game using 16-bit textures)
Also after the error the installer freezes and you have to manualy copy some data from disk 1 and 2

also naniix, like plumgmk says: try disabling the antivirus, or tel it to ignore <cddrivehere>:\Ubbisetup.exe

"maybe" you say? What if it isn't false? Then I have Malware in my PC. I don't like to take that risk..

It's most likely not if you trust the place where you bought the game.

I have to agree with that. Although, I'll disable the virus scanner and try today.

Welcome to the forum Naniix.

I already had the Panda Antivirus for a couple of followed years but I gave up on it due to several reasons and I'm currently using Kaspersky and I am very satisfied with this one.

It happens the same problem happened to me when I had that antivirus and I wanted to install the game. Of course it is a fake alert, since this is a commercial video game.

The solution is obvious: Deactivate the antivirus during the install and play it. If the antivirus complains when you run the executable file of the installed game, try to put the game folder and/or the executable file in the "Exceptions/Exclusions (?)" section that you might find in the options. Otherwise just deactivate the antivirus everytime you want to play it. I'm sure your problem is fixed now.

I just installed it today by closing the virus scanner. And it worked, too. When I started playing I enabled the virus scanner again but after playing it for 2 hours it suddenly shut down.. There was a pop up saying "There was a problem in RaymanM and it must be closed"

I don't know if that's the exact translation what the message said since my PC is dutch.

[Haruka]

I think that sometimes happened with me. My advice is to close every program before running Rayman M, to avoid those sudden shut downs.

So, I guess the problem is solved right?

Can you say if it is always at the same point: say loading screen or what, or just randomly during gameplay

Also Im dutch: it's excact translation of the must be closed window

It's during gameplay. The screen freezes and the music starts to freeze for a moment. Then it shuts down.

@Haruka: I have a program called GameBooster. It closes unneeded programs to make the games run faster. I don't know if it should work. I'll try it.

EDIT: Just tried using GameBooster, but it shut down again..

Here's a pic of the error, don't know if it helps

I was recomending you to turn off programs manually. Try to press Ctrl+Alt+Delete keys and (carefuly) try to turn off programs.

GameBooster does that. It closes programs. And by using ctrl alt delete, I don't close programs if I don't know wtf it does.

Since it would do the same as GameBooster, I would still have the problem.

[Haruka]

Well you could check for the icons in your System Tray and disconnect unecessary programs.

I think it is still quite odd you still having problems with your game.

[MrBadGuy]

I always had problems with Rayman M/Arena crashing and not wanting to start up etc.
The solution? Get the PS2 version! That's what I did and it solved all problems XD

[Haruka]

At least with the PS2 version it is possible to play with other people, it seems it is impossible for the PC version now. I think USB Gamepads aren't supported/recognized by the game.

At least in XP they work(gamepads&joy's), i used to play it alot with a friend

Also if the game only crashed at certain event's in the game it may be something corrupted?

That still woudn't solve the problem, since I already said GameBooster does the same.

But I have Windows XP.

What I cannot understand is why my gamepad isn't detectable if Windows says it is detected!

It could be corrupted, yes.. It could crash at every moments. Doesn't matter if I would do battle or race. If I possibly buy the game again then I'm not sure if it would have the same problem. What I first want to know is if it's actually possible to fix this error.
