Hello. I'm having problems with the gog version of Rayman 3 not launching. I've tried better Rayman 3, installing directplay, and running as administrator but none of the options worked. Is there any other solutions?

Is the gog version the only version of rayman 3 your having? do you have any other consoles the game was released on (Nintendo Gamecube, XBAX 360 ect.) and a copy of the game to verify if the gog version is the only one you've got a problem with launching?

Hey Stormtrooper,

Did you try uninstalling / re-installing the game? If you want to avoid gamesaves lose make a copy of your GAMEDATA folder and move it back to your Rayman 3 folder once the game is re-installed.

I did a Google research and found out someone else was experiencing the same troubles than you ages ago.

RibShark proposed a soluce to it on this same thread :

To all having troubles, try downloading this zip archive (open the page and click the arrow to download), and extracting the contents to the folder you installed the game into (make sure that d3d8.dll is in the same folder as Rayman3.exe). Hopefully this will work for all of you, as well as me.
I hope this will solve your problem as well as it did for him. :)

I tried it and it worked. :D. My only problem right now is the camera control not being mapped to the right analog stick but rather the touchpad on the ps4 controller. And the framerate sometimes drops in random areas.

Do you use DS4windows? If so, you can remap the mouse movements to the right analog stick.
