Rayman Pirate-Community

We'll be finding Easter eggs in these games for years to come.

Ooh, thanks

I too have played through that level many times without noticing it. I had seen a glimpse of that thing in the past from the corner of my eye; I never got a good look at it though, and I never thought to investigate it further. For some reason, I thought it was a plane.

Then yesterday I finally got a good look at it, and saw it was actually the Enterprise. I did a quick Google search and apart from a couple of comments on YouTube vids I found nothing about it on the internet. So today I raced to that spot (that's why the score is so low), took a screenshot, and added it to the RayWiki.

It's amazing that after so many years (9, in this case) we still discover new things in Rayman games.

Bit like how the Sonic fandom does I guess, I never even noticed what you saw (not that I even do Star Trek hahahhaha!)

I heard that Rayman PC got a new hall of fame up with Ubisoft. Can someone please give me a link? Also do I need to use my code it get on to it?

Here it is, our very own Hall Of Fame: https://raymanpc.com/hall-of-fame
Just enter the code at the top, ignore the hashes.

Help me, Pirate Community! You are my only hope!

I'm playing R3 for the PC now, and I have a very annoying input problem.

When I walk around with my fist charged up (i.e. I walk around with the space bar pressed down), I can't travel in certain directions.
When I walk forward (up arrow key) and then press the right arrow key, Rayman will move both forward and right (so he's walking diagonally).
But when I walk forward and then press left, Rayman won't go left - he'll just keep walking forward.
So, I can't move both forward and left at the same time while my fist is charged up.
The same problem occurs for other directions, too:
When I walk backwards with a charged fist, I can't turn right at the same time (right from the camera's point of view - it's left for Rayman).
When I walk to the left, I can't turn towards the camera.
When I walk to the right, I can't turn away from the camera (i.e. forwards).
Another way of putting it is: when my fist is charged up, I can't walk forward-left or backward-right (instead, the game will choose one of the directions - the one whose key was pressed first). Forward-right and backward-left are working fine.
All of this only occurs when the space bar is held down.

I hope my explanation is clear :O
So, is there a way to fix this?

Have you tried using a different keyboard?

No, but... it's a laptop.

You could always connect a usb keyboard.

Yeah, well, the problem is we don't have a usb keyboard
We only have two keyboards with a circular connection thing, and my laptop doesn't have a slot for that.
Is there another solution apart from changing the keyboard? Cause I'm really stuck with the current one for now.

EDIT: It looks like the keyboard's drivers are up to date - so outdated drivers can't be the problem here.

The problem you are facing is common in normal keyboards since they do not support multiple key pressing. The only solution for that is to buy a gaming keyboard. Prepare yourself to spend at minimum 40€ for one.

I think you can get adapters which allow those types to be used as USB.

As for gaming keyboards, my laptop is definitely not gaming spec and it supports multiple-presses just fine.

My keyboard doesn't belong to the gaming line either, but my model is a Logitech MX 5000 Laser.

Meh... the problem isn't worth that much money to solve... the game isn't exactly unplayable because of it. It is annoying, but I guess I will just have to try to keep charging up + walking at the same time to a minimum.
If I keep encountering problems like this in other games though, I might consider buying one of those gaming keyboards.

It isn't a problem just in Rayman 3, dude. If it happens in one game, it happens with every game else.

Yes, I know. But the problem is limited to spacebar+up+left (or spacebar+down+right). I've never had to do that in other games.

Then that's different now.

Most of my games are on PC, so...

That's right. The same thing happens when you try (CTRL/SHIFT)+ALT+(Arrow key Left OR Arrow key Up). There's something about those combinations that jams up the machine. I can notice when the PC doesn't like it because the motherboard beeps at me for doing one of those illegal key presses. I'm not sure why you already face problems when trying spacebar + arrow keys left and up. My keyboard isn't a gaming keyboard at all and I don't have that trouble; mine's from a make I've never heard from before - SHITEC (lol) - and it's at least seven years old, but at least it works. I know laptops are a bit more iffy when it comes to key combinations. I think a simple USB keyboard may be able to solve it, though probably a gaming keyboard is best.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!

Using Cheat Engine I have finally managed to uncover an important Rayman secret!!!!!!!

For the first time ever, I can reveal the precise requirements to open the Xowar secret door in The Tower of the Leptys!!

The requirement is: You must have over 43,000 points.

43,000 points = no go.
43,001 points = go!

The requirement will be checked as soon as the part is loaded. So at the end of the flying ship part, you must already have 43,001+ points. You can't start the part with, say, 42,900 points, grab the Matuvu (+250) and expect the door to open.

PICTURES AS PROOF!!!!!!!



EDIT: I have added the information to the RayWiki article (link). Also, the "Xowar secret" YouTube video at the bottom of that page is private and can't be viewed now, so it's kinda useless to link to it. Shouldn't it be removed?

Great finding Robotic Teensie! I always wanted to know the minimum requirement of that room.

As for the RayWiki video being private, I do have a recording specially dedicated to the Xowar secret, if anyone wishes to replace it.
