Essential improvements
Rayman Forever DX+
- Rayman Forever DX+ is a fan-made patch specifically for the GOG version of Rayman Forever which fixes several issues and restores/adds several new features such as the full PC soundtrack, Intro/Outro FMVs, English, French, and German language support, and adds Rayman 60 Levels which is currently not available digitally.
- To install, just simply extract the files from the archive to <path-to-game>.
- The only way to change the language from English to something else is either by manually editing the configuration files or using tools such as Rayman Control Panel.
Restore original soundtrack
- To save disk space,[citation needed] the entire soundtrack wasn't included in Rayman Gold/Forever.

Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within the installation folder reflects the path(s) listed for DOS game data. For the GOG.com release, file changes in DOSBox are redirected to
<path-to-game>/cloud_saves/
even if GOG Galaxy is not used (this folder contains all redirected files, so some files in thecloud_saves
folder might be temporary files or other files that do not contain saves or settings).
