Game elements run too fast
- Rayman 3 by default runs at 72 FPS and may drop to 36 FPS randomly. Above 60 FPS can cause various issues; e.g. some animations play out too fast, shielded enemies turn faster and certain platforms disappear more quickly.
Use Better Rayman 3 |
---|
Install Better Rayman 3 to lock the frame rate at 60 FPS; this also prevents the game from dropping FPS randomly. |
Limit the frame rate to 60 FPS[8] |
---|
Use d3d8to9 or dgVoodoo 2 and set the refresh rate to 60Hz[9] |
