So I came up with the crazy idea of putting the dinput.dll from dinputto8 project along with the fixed Rayman 3 dinput8.dll, with the hope that Rayman would call the wrapper dinput, and this would call the Rayman 3 fixed dinput8. Also the latest commits are from the previous month so it seems that it is still active so it would probably won't make my game crash. The project was made for old games in general and has a compatibility list (not Rayman 2 ). I accidentally found out this project on GitHub, which is another dinput.dll wrapper to transform dinput calls to dinput8 (I don't even know what are this APIs, I just assume that it is a more modern version of dinput). I kept diving on the internet and also tried out the dinput8.dll fix for Rayman 3, which is working perfectly on Rayman3 but, as expected, not on Rayman 2.

I tried to do some debugging but it seemed that the code was not even being executed, so probably the problem was in the way that the official API was hooked at the start (maybe this does not make any sense at all). So the whole project is a dinput.dll wrapper that calls the original API, sorts the devices and returns it to the game. Basically the game expects that the gamepads are given first in the device enumeration while the official Microsoft API does not guarantee this. There are just a bunch of files with few code and the original author made a really useful comment about what was the original Rayman 2 bug about. I'm definitelly not in the C++ world so I couldn't do much with the source code, except from understanding it at a high level. Still the new compiled dll made the game crash. It was made in Visual Studio 2010 but I had no problem compiling it on VS Comunitty 2019. Extract the dinput8.dll file in your game folder, where you extracted the dinput.dll before.ДЇirst I realised that the source code of the fixed dinput.dll is on the link that you provided before.

Download the controller fix for Rayman 3 here (yes, the Rayman 3, not the Rayman 2 fix).

If your version is above v1.0.39.0, then you are done, your controller should work! If you downloaded the v1.0.39.0 release or previous, you must follow the next step.

Extract the dinput.dll file in your Rayman 2 game folder (where the Rayman2.exe file is).

Download the dinput.zip from the latest release here.

I solved the issue, and the solution is pretty creative xD. I guess I will have to go with Dreamcast/PlayStation emulation if I don't fix this :/ Would be awesome if I can fix this, I just love this game.

If it happens to everyone else, does someone actually now how to replicate the fix with updated dlls ? (I'm a Software Engineer but honestly I don't have any experience on modding or hacking compiled binaries).ДЄlso, I tried the dinput.dll from the keyboard remapping tool ( viewtopic.php?f=89&t=25320) and the game works nice with the remapped keys, but not the controller (I assume that the dll is the original with just the remapping modifications, and not the actual fix).

Maybe they changed something that broke the dinput.dll fix that has been used in Rayman 2 for years now.Д¬an someone confirm if they are having this crash too on an updated Windows 10 machine ?

I think that Microsoft recently updated Windows 10 for the new Xbox series X controller and their Xbox Accesories app. Removing the dinput.dll file solves the problem but I don't really want to play with the keyboard. It just shows the Ubisoft logo and then goes back to desktop.

Today, I want to play it again, so I installed the game in my Windows 10 computer (with latest updates) and adding the dinput.dll file to the game directory will make the game crash on the start. So, some years ago I enjoyed a lot playing Rayman 2 for PC (GoG version) with my XBox 360 controller.
