There were a few tricky sections with the basketballs but they were optional, weren't they?

Probably worth sharing here too: Glackum and Ryemanni will be streaming a speedrun race of Rayman Redemption this Friday at 4 PM UTC.

There needs to be an article on RaymanWiki about Rayman Redemption. Who agrees to this?

I really need help. I want to play this game but when I try to launch it, I'm given this error message.



Can anyone tell me how to solve the problem? I really want to play this remaster.

Weird Do you have enough RAM in your computer?

How will I know how much RAM is enough? I am not the most well read on tech.

Thank you for replying!

I don’t think the specs required to play the game are a known thing, I doubt Ryemanni has ever mentioned them. From what I’ve seen in your screenshot, it seems the game asks at least for a bit more than 1 GB of RAM (not an expert on the subject and so that’s just my supposition), so 2 GB would be the minimum required I guess (personally I have 8 GB and never had any issue).
Anyway, the game isn’t supposed to ask for much, so unless you’re using a very old device, that’s pretty strange.

Is your computer running on Windows? On Game Jolt, I’ve seen someone reporting a very similar issue in the comments (same error and same number of bytes if I’m remembering correctly). They were playing on Mac, so I think that may be an OS issue. Is that your case? Because the game isn’t supposed to work on Mac or Linux as stated in the FAQ. Ryemanni suggests using Wine if you have either of these two.

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to reply.

I have 5 GB free currently, and I have a windows 10 device. I believe I got this laptop in 2016 if that helps.

Did that person ever find a solution? I mean, it's really weird. If I understand correctly, allocation should only fail if it runs out of virtual memory, not physical, and it sounds like neither should be the case here anyway.

Thanks for the response! Your computer seems to be perfectly fine and has the required operating system to begin with, so that makes this situation all the more weird…
Maybe you should try to see if you can contact Ryemanni directly (on Twitter or Game Jolt), because the game really shouldn’t be doing that on a computer like yours.

Found the comment again. They were actually using Wine, so the OS wasn’t really an issue to begin with. This is all so strange… I think the game may just have some issues with some particular configurations in some devices. This is also the first time I hear of this since the release of the game one year ago, so maybe it got something to do with an unintentional change in some of the last updates, Ryemanni kinda rushed them out due to many issues appearing one after the other so they may have some hidden technical flaws.
Sadly, Ryemanni hasn’t responded, so it seems there’s no known fix for the problem… Hopefully, someone here will figure it out. As for me, I’m currently clueless…

Sorry for the double post, but I have to inform you that Ryemanni will be streaming a ‘postmortem’ playthrough of the game on June 13 for its first anniversary to discuss the development of Rayman Redemption and ReDesigner. He’s going to answer questions as well as reveal some scrapped content and some other interesting stuff, so this is the moment to learn a lot of trivia about his fangames!
If you want to ask Ryemanni any question about his Rayman fangames (including Dark Magician’s Reign of Terror), you can do so by replying below this tweet before Sunday 13.6 and he will answer them in the stream: https://twitter.com/Ryemanni/status/1401058468128231425

Yes, I knew we were coming up on the anniversary! Dear God, I'm still working from home – when will this madness end! I might just watch that, should be interesting!

I'm sure it should be an interesting watch for sure, and wow that was a fast year!

Yup … already one year… Felt like the beginning of the pandemic was only a month ago.

Pain aside, the stream definitely sounds interesting! Ryemanni already revealed a picture of the firefly in a jar, which may mean it was originally intended to be an item you could pick up in either Rayman Redemption or ReDesigner like the super helicopter potion or the magic seed.

Yeah, I can't believe it's been a year already! Time sure flies.

I'm definitely watching this too, thanks for sharing!

Oh hell yeah, Redemption slaps and I'm glad we're going to get some dev insight on some BTS stuff. Been following Rye on twitter but more is always appreciated!

Long time to see, lumz! Hope all is well for you since the last time.

This would be a good occasion to release the source code like OCG once suggested.

A good number of people in the community were hoping for the release of the source code (especially for Rayman ReDesigner), so that would be great if it does happen.
