FIX - Game Locked at 32FPS
By QuietFunkyWolf
Due to a bug regarding the game's use of EAX DirectSound audio effects, the game's framerate will lock itself at 32FPS on all Windows operating systems newer than Windows XP. This guide will show you how to fix the framerate cap, restoring it to the intended cap of 60FPS, by using IndirectSound to translate the DirectSound calls into XAudio2.

1. Download
Prior to downloading IndirectSound itself, you will need to make sure that you have the Visual Studio 2010 (x86) Redistributable installed on your machine if your machine is running Windows 8 or newer. As of current, you can find and download it from this link.[www.microsoft.com]

Once you have that installed, you are ready to download the latest version of IndirectSound from their website, which you can find here.[www.indirectsound.com] I recommend saving this .zip file to your desktop, as you will have to open and use it very soon.

2. Configure
Configuring and setting up IndirectSound is a very straightforward process. Firstly, you will need to find and open the folder of the game. You can get here by right-clicking the game in your library and then following the pathway Properties > Local Files > Browse.

Next, with the use of a program such as 7zip or Winrar, open the IndirectSound.zip file with a double-click and extract its contents to the game folder. You can do this simply by pressing Ctrl+A upon opening your preferred file archiver and dragging the highlighted contents into the game folder.

If you've made it this far, then congratulations, this is the final step. Open the extracted dsound.ini file with a text editor such as Notepad, and press Ctrl+F to search for "eax1" (without the quotations). You will want to edit both the "eax1" and "eax2" values to say "true" (as shown below). Remember to save the file before closing Notepad.

3. Enjoy Game
If the above has been followed accordingly, then you will now be able to enjoy Rayman: Raving Rabbids at 60FPS, as intended by the developers. If any part of this guide has been unclear to you, or if you are having other difficulties, then please leave a comment and I will try my best to resolve your issues!

why tf do you need it to be at 60 fps, 32 fps is already smoother than doom, and besides, youre not even gonna notice the difference unless you have the reaction time of a nasa supercomputer

hi mic. you can download 7zip safely from their official website, www.7-zip.org . i don't have a video version of this guide available, but i'm confident that you'll be able to do it. as long as you have the indirectsound files in the game folder and the dsound.ini file set accordingly, all should be well. good luck.

Thank you for the guide, but is there a video that shows the steps as well? I'm not too knowledgeable on technical things and I want to make sure I get the correct and safe version of 7zip and that I do the steps perfectly.
