Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition has only been available for a short time and is clearly aimed at fans of the original. But shortly after its release, a technical problem is causing frustration. Several players report that progress is not reliably saved in certain versions.
The Atari Jaguar and MS DOS versions seem to be particularly affected. Anyone who starts Rayman on these versions and later resets the game will find that their progress has disappeared.
This is a serious problem, especially for a classic game that relies on precise platforming and lots of repetition.
Progress appears to disappear in Jaguar and MS DOS versions after reset
Progress is apparently not transferred correctly, which can result in the game score being completely lost.
This makes normal gameplay unnecessarily difficult in these versions. Many players use anniversary editions like this to experience old versions as authentically as possible. If saving doesn’t work in these versions, the package loses much of its appeal.
Ubisoft Support confirms problem but does not plan to fix it
A Reddit user named BenjyMLewis contacted Ubisoft Support directly. According to his own statements, he also provided video footage documenting the error. Ubisoft responded to the ticket and confirmed that the problem could be reproduced.
However, the following statement is crucial: Ubisoft apparently does not plan to provide any further support for Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition after its launch. According to support, the team has already completed the project and is now working on other projects.
Post-launch support ended, memory bug likely to remain permanently
The support response makes it clear that post-launch support has been discontinued. No further updates are planned. This means that, as things stand, the memory bug will remain.
Support emphasized that this was not the desired outcome, but at the same time, no further steps could be offered.
The ticket was then closed.
Players must live with the bug or switch versions
For players, this means one thing above all: those who want to use the Atari Jaguar or MS DOS versions must currently expect that game scores may be lost after a reset.
This means that part of the anniversary edition, which is supposed to score points with nostalgia and historical versions, is overshadowed by a technical problem. It remains to be seen whether Ubisoft will change its position later on. Currently, however, it does not look like it.
