This is fixed by downloading a Glider Wrapper
 
* Step 1: Download the glide wrapper from [http://www65.zippyshare.com/v/18227988/file.html%20 here.]
 
* Step 2: Extract the folder's contents to the Rayman 2 directory. (eg. D:/Games/Rayman)
 
* Step 3: Copy the file called "GliVd1vf.dll" located in \Rayman 2\DLL\Glide directory to \Rayman 2\DLL\
 
* Step 4: Run "GXSetup.exe" in the main Rayman 2 folder. The screen may flash several times during this process.
 
* Step 5: Change the Renderer to 0 Glide2 (1.0.0) Voodoo Graphics Glide 2 Driver.
 
* Step 6: Change the resolution to 1280x1024 if using a 16:9 monitor, and press OK.
 
* Step 7: Open nGlide_config.exe located in the main Rayman 2 folder.
 
* Step 8: Change to the following settings:
 
                 
 
:- Screen Resolution = 1280x1024
 
:- Aspect Ratio = Fit to Screen (Default)
 
:- Refresh rate = Your monitors refresh rate
 
:- Vertical synchronization = On
 
:- Gamma Correction = Leave default
 
:- 3dFX logo splash screen = Off
 
 
Then press apply, then exit.
 
 
* Step 9: Run the game.
