Rebellion Fix
By TruthRealm
Star Wars: Rebellion Community Fix v2.63.1.0
Easy Installation Guide
What This Fix Does
This community patch improves Star Wars: Rebellion (1998) with:
Performance improvements for modern systems Windows compatibility updates (XP through Windows 11) Graphics fixes using dgVoodoo for better stability Updated game icon with higher resolution Before You Start
Make sure Star Wars: Rebellion is already installed on your computer Create a backup of your game folder (just copy the entire folder somewhere safe) Close the game if it's running Installation Steps
Step 1: Download the Fix
Download Rebellion_2.63.1.0_Fix.zip from https://swrebellion.link/fix Extract the ZIP file to a temporary location (like your Desktop) Step 2: Find Your Game Folder
Common installation paths:
GOG: C:\GOG Games\Star Wars - Rebellion Steam: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Star Wars - Rebellion Original: C:\Program Files (x86)\LucasArts\Star Wars Rebellion You'll know it's the right folder if you see REBEXE.exe inside.
Step 3: Install the Core Files
Open the extracted Star Wars - Rebellion.zip file Copy these 4 files to your game folder: D3Dlmm.dll d3drm.dll DDraw.dll REBEXE.exe When Windows asks, choose "Replace the files in the destination" Step 4: Optional – Skip Introduction Briefings
The patched version removes the ability to skip the long introduction briefings. If you want to remove these briefings entirely:
In your main game folder (same folder as REBEXE.exe), find these files: ALBRIEF.dll (Alliance introduction briefing) EMBRIEF.dll (Empire introduction briefing) Either: Delete them completely, or Rename them (e.g., to ALBRIEF.dll.backup and EMBRIEF.dll.backup) Step 5: Update Game Shortcuts (Important!)
The patched game must run with the -w flag for proper operation. Without this flag, the game may not work correctly with the patch.
For existing shortcuts:
Find your Star Wars: Rebellion shortcuts: Desktop shortcut Start Menu shortcut (usually in Start → Programs → LucasArts) Right-click each shortcut and select Properties In the Target field, add -w at the end (note the space before -w) Example GOG: "C:\GOG Games\Star Wars - Rebellion\REBEXE.exe" -w Example Steam: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Star Wars - Rebellion\REBEXE.exe" -w Click OK For Steam users:
Right-click Star Wars: Rebellion in your Steam library Select Properties In the Launch Options field, enter: -w Close the properties window If no shortcuts exist:
Right-click on REBEXE.exe in your game folder Select Send to → Desktop (create shortcut) Right-click the new shortcut and select Properties Add -w to the end of the Target field Optionally, copy this shortcut to your Start Menu Step 6: Compatibility Mode (If Needed)
Right-click on REBEXE.exe Select Properties → Compatibility tab Check "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" Select Windows XP (Service Pack 3) Check "Run as administrator" Click OK Troubleshooting
Game won't start? Make sure you added the -w flag to your shortcuts Try running as administrator Steam users: If issues persist, verify game files through Steam first, then reapply the patch Graphics issues? The dgVoodoo files should fix most problems, but you can adjust settings in the dgVoodoo Control Panel if needed Multiplayer? The patch includes network port configurations (see the port list above). Make sure these ports are open in your firewall Game starts but crashes immediately? Double-check that the -w flag is properly added to your shortcut with a space before it How to verify the patch is installed? The patched REBEXE.exe will show as version 1.02 What's Included
