Rayman Forever DX+

A fan-made patch made specifically for the GOG version of Rayman Forever which fixes several issues found within the game, as well as adds Rayman 60 Levels which is currently not available digitally.

To install, 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.

Notes

  1. ↑ 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 the cloud_saves folder might be temporary files or other files that do not contain saves or settings).
