The virus should also not affect Windows systems running XP and above. For anyone who feels insecure, the files can easily be replaced by the ones from any other version of ''[[Rayman Designer]]''. | ||

The installer on the original disc may not work on recent versions of Microsoft Windows. ''Rayman Control Panel'' may be used to install the game. Some releases use SafeDisc DRM, which is incompatible with Windows 10. To play the game installed from such a release, no-CD patched executables must be used. The widescreen resolution fixes incorporate the no-CD patch as well. <ref>[[Rayman Pirate-Community]] discussion forums, ''Installing Rayman Arena on Windows 10'', https://raymanpc.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1414098#p1414098</ref> | The installer on the original disc may not work on recent versions of Microsoft Windows.

If the background appears black, with the text still showing, it is due to the contrast and brightness values being corrupted. A simple fix for this is to simply navigate to the in-game options and turn up the brightness and contrast. If this does not work, the registry keys should manually be deleted. Do so by going to the registry editor (regedit) and find: | If the background appears black, with the text still showing, it is due to the contrast and brightness values being corrupted.

The GOG version includes a small GUI utility ('''language_setup.exe''') to change the language. All it does is modify the registry key above. The settings are specified in '''language_setup.ini'''. The parameter name is ''Language'' of type DWORD, with the following values: 0-English, 1-French, 2-Japanese, 3-German, 4-Spanish, 5-Italian, 8-Portuguese, 10-Polish, 11-Russian, 12-Dutch, 13-Czech, 14-Hungarian. | The GOG version includes a small GUI utility ('''language_setup.exe''') to change the language.

Changing the language by modifying the parameter manually in the registry works in the retail version of the game as well, with the exception of Russian, Czech and Hungarian, which will show only blank text boxes. Conversely, the country-specific retail versions of the game may fail to show text in any language other than the native for that release. Since the data files are identical, the difference must be in the main program code ('''Rayman Origins.exe'''). The GOG version is the only one known so far to support all languages in the same installation. | Changing the language by modifying the parameter manually in the registry works in the retail version of the game as well, with the exception of Russian, Czech and Hungarian, which will show only blank text boxes.
