Online play
Asynchronous multiplayer

The game can be played online with Parsec (streaming of video/audio/keyboard/gamepad). To fix in-game slowdowns during streaming, run the game in windowed mode.

Issues unresolved

Black screen after launching

The game launches properly, and sound can be heard. But the screen stays completely black, no visuals at all.

Run the game as administrator.[citation needed]
Alternate temporary fix: Change your screen resolution to 1280x720 (or any other low screen resolutions) before you launch the game every time if desperate.

Issues fixed

Crash to desktop promptly after launching

Uplay performs a check and when you don't pass, the game stops after a few seconds.

Recent patches should've fixed this issue but some users may still have issues.

Start Uplay in offline mode

Start Uplay Click on menu icon and select "go offline" Disconnect from internet. Notes If using the Steam version keep Uplay open when starting the game and put Steam into offline mode as well. You can also make Uplay to always start in offline mode in Uplay settings. If the above does not help, you can try adding custom firewall rules for UPlay.exe and UPlayWebCore.exe in the Uplay installation folder. Deny both of those applications internet access when creating the rules. Uplay will try to log in and fail, asking you what to do. Clicking "Go offline" should launch the game immediately.

Crash when trying to access options menu

See User:Marioysikax/Research.

Run the game at screen refresh rate

Fullscreen mode defaults to the monitor's minimum refresh rate, such as 24 Hz or 40 Hz, even if the screen refresh rate is set higher than that.

Set screen refresh rate[citation needed]
See the Special K Unofficial Guide to install Special K. Start the game once and close it immediately to allow the configuration file of Special K to be created. Open <path-to-game>\d3d9.ini or %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Mods\SpecialK\Profiles\Rayman Legends.exe\SpecialK.ini depending on the injection method you used. Change RefreshRate=-1 to RefreshRate=0 under [Render.FrameRate].

"Uplay account is required. Please install Uplay and sign in."

Reinstall Uplay
Will not affect currently-installed games; simply login as usual.
