3D Ships Before/After comparison :
- Avoid all extra software (GOG Galaxy, etc.) by getting a clean installer if available.
- GOG direct offline installer : https://www.gog.com/downloads/star_wars_rebellion/en1installer0 (link works if logged in and game already bought)
- Steam : I don't know
- Install the game
- If you want to play in french, download from swrebellion.net the french patch and extract it into your Star Wars Rebellion folder. This will overwrite 28 files and add 1 file. If you want to go back to english, do the same with the english-patch from swrebellion.net and overwrite these same file with original english ones.
- Copy "game update" folder content into your game's folder (you can skip this step if you patch with the 25th anniversary patch, since it's going to be done automatically). This will overwrite 2 files and add 12 new files.
- Optional: In your Star Wars Rebellion folder, right-click REBEXE.EXE
- Properties
- Compatibility tab
- Change settings for all users
- Uncheck all boxes
- Apply
- OK
- Compatibility tab
- Properties
- Create a shortcut on your desktop to REBEXE.EXE
- Right-click the shortcut file you've just created
- Properties
- Shortcut
- In Target, add a space then -w at the end: "C:?????????\REBEXE.EXE" -w
- Apply
- OK
- Shortcut
- Properties
- Run the game from that shortcut
- Install the latest .NET Desktop runtime : https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet
- Direct link to latest version : https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/thank-you/runtime-desktop-9.0.0-windows-x64-installer
- Reboot
- Install a fresh GoG or Steam Star Wars Rebellion game
- Download the latest editor release : https://github.com/MetasharpNet/StarWarsRebellionEditor.NET/releases
- (the file : swr-editor.net-?.?.????.?????.zip)
- Extract the whole zip file content to a separate folder (not in the game folder directly! you can however create an editor subfolder in the game folder if you want, this is ok)
- If the editor windows seem to show overlapping fields, you probably have activated Font or Icons zoom factor in Windows. Try to set it back to 100%. (https://community.microcenter.com/kb/articles/746-how-to-adjust-display-scaling-in-windows-11)
- Disable Antivirus such as Norton: they might silently block the patching process and make the resulting game bugged (Windows Defender seems fine, try with your Antivirus on first and see if you experience in game bugs)
- Run : SwRebellionEditor.exe
- If prompted, adjust the game folder.
- Click on the death star icon (the last icon) or through the menu : Editor / 25th Anniversary Patch
- Check either :
- compatible galaxy map : new sectors and planets keep original planet positions to keep compatibility with base game savegames and multiplayer
- accurate galaxy map : new sectors and planets positions are changed to match as close as possible the real star war map
- Check either :
- units with stats : units sprites display average base stats to give you a rough idea of their strenghts/weaknesses
- units without stats : unit sprites display no stats, like in the base game
- Click on the patch my game button
- The UI will pop a window detailling in real time what is being patched. Wait for the patch to complete.
- To get the latest features, also patch with the Patch test folder only button.
- Close the editor
- Enable again your antivirus if you had to disable it
- Run the game.
- rename ALBRIEF.DLL to ALBRIEF.DLL.OLD
- rename EMBRIEF.DLL to EMBRIEF.DLL.OLD
- This will skip new game's 5 minute briefings.
- Try pressing Alr Gr + F11 to go in/out of full screen mode
- Use Display Port cable instead of HDMI
- Make sure your shortcut to run the game has the -w option
- Change settings with : dgVoodooCpl.exe from your game folder
If you have an Nvidia Card:
- Open Nvidia Control Panel (right click on desktop and click on Nvidia icon)
- Change resolution
- Customize
- Check Enable Resolutions not exposed by the display
- Add all resolutions
- OK
- Apply
- Adjust Desktop size and Position
- Click on Scaling
- Check Aspect ratio
- Choose Perform scaling on : Display (not GPU, it's important)
- Check Override the scaling mode set by games and programs
- Apply
For AMD (Radeon, ...) GPU, you can try this link: https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/faq/dh-019#:~:text=To%20enable%20GPU%20Scaling%2C%20follow,GPU%20Scaling%20option%20to%20On
If you have another GPU brand than Nvidia or AMD, do the same as above and get some more info here:
- If you get: "The pixel format was invalid as specified." error when entering tactical battle, ... it shouldn't bother the game working, but I have no known solution as of now. Try googling and share if you find a solution. This problem happens on base game install as well and is not related to 25th anniversary patch.
- new high definition 3d models for all capital ships
- Identify unknown fields usage
- Other features from RebEd
- etc.
