Rayman 3 HD Recompiled — v1.0.3

Rayman 3 HD Recompiled v1.0.3

This update adds support for the Xbox 360 HD release's five built-in game languages, an optional Combo Meter closing animation, and a portable ZIP edition.

Language Support

• Added a Game Language option under Settings → Advanced, with support for English, French, Spanish, Italian, and German.
• Game language selection uses the original Xbox 360 HD data, including localized text, subtitles, and available voice audio. No separate translation mod is required for these five languages.
• Language preferences are saved across launches and remain independent of the Settings interface language and game profile.
• Improved the modding tools to support explicit glyph overrides for characters missing from the original font mapping, including œ/Œ.

Note: French menus, subtitles, and cinematic audio have been verified. Voice coverage throughout the full campaign has not been checked. The current Turkish and Brazilian Portuguese translation mods require English to be selected as the game language.

HD+ Improvements

• Added an optional Combo Meter closing animation, reusing an animation from the original game. The meter now slides upward during the final second of a combo instead of disappearing instantly.
• Vanilla preserves the original abrupt closing behavior.
• HD+ enables the animation by default.
• Custom allows the animation to be enabled or disabled independently under Settings → Corrections.
• Combo Meter Animation preferences are saved across launches without resetting unrelated Custom settings.

Portable Edition

• Added a portable ZIP edition alongside the Windows installer.
• Launch the portable game using Play.cmd, or open Settings.cmd to configure it.
• Portable settings, saves, profiles, and mods remain inside the extracted folder, independently of an installed copy.
• The complete portable folder can be moved to another writable location without requiring a new installation.
• Required Visual C++ runtime libraries are included in the portable package.

Note: The portable edition requires 64-bit Windows 10 version 1903 or newer, or Windows 11. It has not been tested on a clean non-admin Windows machine.

Updating from v1.0.2

Close the game and Settings before updating.

Installer: Run the new setup and select your existing installation folder. Existing saves, mods, settings, and preferences are preserved.

Portable ZIP: Extract the new package to a writable folder. Follow the included PORTABLE.txt instructions when migrating data from an earlier portable copy.

Backing up your settings and profiles before updating is strongly recommended.

The installer and portable edition require your own supported Xbox 360 Rayman 3 HD package (title ID 5841123F, without a title update). No game files are included.

Additional Notes

• Added PINHATT's Brazilian Portuguese translation to the README's Community Translations section. The mod is independently maintained and is not bundled with this release.
• The optional Turkish translation package remains v1.0.1, with unchanged contents.
• Some visual issues inherited from the Xbox 360 HD release remain. A rare audio-initialization crash has also been observed during testing.
• This is a Windows release. Linux and Steam Deck compatibility have not been officially verified. A separate full playthrough of v1.0.3 has not been performed.

Rayman 3 HD Recompiled — v1.0.2

Rayman 3 HD Recompiled v1.0.2

This update focuses on controller customization, improved keyboard controls, and installer reliability.

Controller & Keyboard Improvements

• Controller rebinding is here! Reassign digital controller buttons directly from Settings → Controls → Controller, swap triggers or sticks, and customize your layout independently of keyboard bindings.
• Improved support for Xbox-compatible controllers and native DualSense controllers, including a fix for incorrect button detection over Bluetooth.
• Swapped triggers now correctly preserve adaptive resistance on the physical trigger assigned to lock-on.
• Improved the Keyboard and Controller settings pages, including scrolling, binding conflicts, capture feedback, and missing action labels.
• Added proper labels for LB/L1 (Health Bar), RB/R1 (Grimace), Y/Triangle (held Look Mode), and B/Circle (Roll / Back).
• Fixed the Original PC keyboard preset: W for Roll, hold X for Look Mode, and V for both Health Bar and Grimace. Existing custom keyboard bindings remain unchanged.

Note: Guide/PS and the DualSense touchpad cannot be rebound. Controller testing remains limited to the devices verified during development.

Fixes & Stability

• Fixed an installer failure on German Windows caused by incorrect decoding of Windows process information (Issue #3). The correction also applies to repair and uninstall operations.
• Improved installer safety when running-process detection fails.
• Disabled the F3 debug overlay and F4 developer settings overlay during normal gameplay. Developer opt-in remains available without affecting normal player settings.

Updating from v1.0.1

Close the game and Settings before installing the update.

Existing saves, mods, settings, and preferences are retained. However, backing up your settings and profiles before updating is strongly recommended.

Important for downgrading: v1.0.2 uses settings schema 4 for controller mappings. v1.0.1 cannot read this newer format. If you plan to return to v1.0.1, keep your original settings backup and previous installer. Do not manually change the schema version number.

Additional Notes

• Included the required TinySHA1 license notice and updated acknowledgments of community research.
• The optional Turkish translation package remains v1.0.1, with unchanged contents. It is included again for convenience, not as a new translation release.
• This is a Windows release. Linux and Steam Deck compatibility have not been officially verified, and full-game compatibility across all hardware configurations is not yet established.
