That's fair enough, though I feel that having a less visually appealing PC version is better than a spruced up but less functional port.

Apologies for the earlier abrasiveness, my mood hasn't been the best today.

I'm quite sure the PC version already runs in higher resolution than the HD version. I think the HD version runs at 720p and the PC I'm quite sure can run in 1080p (correct me if I'm wrong), so the sound quality would really be the only difference and the HD versions has some graphical glitches as well...

That's ok ^^
There's a couple of things I don't like about the HD port they did, that I would like to be fixed/changed back. Off the top of my head, these : https://raymanpc.com/wiki/en/Rayman_3_H ... ot_gallery
The pause Menu and HUD assets have been redone in the HD remake as well. They are in higher resolution and optimized for widescreen.

I've noticed that the PC version has the water animations running way too fast, it's unrealistic compared to the console versions. They are running at the same frame rate as the rest of the game, when it should be at 30 fps.
These areas : http://i11b.3djuegos.com/juegos/7057/ra ... 477314.jpg
are zoomed in, the camera is too close to Rayman on PC compared to the console versions.
And one other minor thing, during the Begoniax fight, there's a special track that plays only on the PS2 and GameCube versions : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bjvAzBD5S4&t=2m18s

Obvious bugs/glitches/badly coded stuff is a trademark in Ubisoft games, especially PC ports.

Yes the HD version runs at 720p. The PC version can go pretty much north 4K I think. I played it at 2560x1440. The game is also compatible with anti-aliasing through the NVIDIA control panel. 16xQ CSAA is awesome

I can't find anisotropic settings and anti-alliasting in my Nvidia Control Panel.My grapic card is Nvidia GeForce 550 Ti

Some settings may be disabled on lower end cards

I would love to see Rayman 3 HD ported to PC but that I doubt it will happen. Meanwhile I'll keep working on my patch (current I'm making a replacement Configuration program to allow for changing more options and widescreen) and just hope that they change their minds.

Will you put in so you can turn on/off TnL? Cause it would be quite helpful to easily be able to do so

Of course I will! That is one of my main motivations for making it (the other being the ability to select widescreen resolutions).

Something strange I found today is that dgVoodoo can now convert DX8 to DX11. This does work with Rayman 3, but TnL has the opposite effect (TnL=1 works, TnL=0 causes missing textures). So putting the option in is important in case other people on certain systems have this problem.

Other stuff I will include is per user configuration (by storing ubi.ini in AppData, so no more running as Admin), automatic widescreen patch, and possibly DX9 and DX11 converters.

Sounds great Looking forward to the patch!

Is it like setting up colours brithness,gamma.In Half-Life 2 it's more simple to select anti-aliasting shaders.

You know, this cutscenes haven't been rendered again, or taken from some HD resolution source. They're just upscaled ones, maybe with good bitrate, and no stretching the proportion, just it. I achieve better quality than in PS3 ones, with PS2 cutscenes, up scaled with special program for up scaling named Video Enchancer, using super resolution and with options for filtering distortions. For example it's nice trick to watch your movies in 4K, if current 4k TVs don't use super resolution (recovering quality during upscaling), I don't know like it is now in those TVs, but some Philips had it some longer time ago - super resolution. Even my current FHD TV has it, but it completely doesn't work.

Honestly from my monitor LG Flatron IPS7LY Rayman 3 has problems with text is postponed below screen.

Man, it's 21:9 monitor. I don't know if this proportion was even tested.

21:9 soon™

I have a 21:9 monitor, so that would be awesome.

cinema screen

I have added a new version of the patch that should work on all screen resolutions! Please test and tell me if there is anything wrong.

Thank you!
More, and more people will be happy with possibility of that choice, since 21:9 is getting more popular.

Thank you for this. You are awesome.
I tried it in Windows 10 Pro 64bit build 1511 and latest updates as of 28 Feb. 2016 with the resolution 1600x900, worked perfect along with Shadorino's bik videos.

I am also looking forward to Shadorino's Wide screen biks of Rayman M , hoping he will solve the aspect raio factor of Rayman M cutscene videos.
