=== Failed installation ===
On some copies of the game, most notably ''Rayman Gold'', the installer may report that the installation failed. Despite this, sometimes it will actually succeed. To keep the installed files the user will need to close the installer using the task manager, otherwise it will automatically remove them.

The game resolution can be changed by manually editing the ubi.ini file or running the configuration program. Setting the aspect ratio to anything other than 4:3 will automatically stretch the game.
