=== 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 you'll need to close the installer using the task manager, otherwise it will automatically remove them.

=== Trojan in RayKit files ===
Many programs have detected trojans in the RayKit directory, most notably in the Mapper file, in the GOG version of Rayman Forever. According to GOG it's false, but for anyone who feels insecure you can easily replace the files by the ones from any other version of Rayman Designer.

Sometimes the game may not recognize when you've changed the camera controls in the configuration program. This is most likely due to the configuration program only changing one ubi.ini file while the game is reading the other one. Simply copy over all content from the one being changed to the other one to have the changes come into effect in the game.
