Star Wars Rebellion Icons Upside Down Display
Star Wars Rebellion Icons Upside Down Backwards

Print view

Previous topic | Next topic

Since updating to windows 10 last year. The Star Wars Rebellion game is displaying things backwards and upside down. I was thinking it had something to do with video card drivers. After all of the updates recently and in the past year this is the only game that I have this problem with.
There is one fix to the upside down icons. Create a shortcut to rebexe.exe to your desktop Add -w to the end of the shortcut to have it run in windowed mode (Example 'C: Program Files (x86) Steam steamapps common Star Wars - Rebellion REBEXE.EXE' -w) Right click on shortcut, Compatability mode Run at 640 x 480.
100% Star Wars Rebellion. At first it would also have the small icons upside down and reverse color. I ran it with the 'reb.exe -w' switch in window mode to get it.

I'm not sure if anyone has tried to get Rebellion to work on WIN8 yet. While I've managed to get it to work, it doesn't work very well graphically. All the pictures and icons are upside down and the colors look as though they are reversed. Has anyone experienced something similar on WIN8 or WIN7 x64? I've tried compatibility modes, making changes to the registry, and altering graphic card settings but it always looks wrong. I followed the instructions for the Vista x64/WIN7 install from this forum multiple times with no success. Anyone with any ideas would be great, I really want to make this work without having to dual boot XP or something like that on my new laptop.

Same thing here. I really start to hate Windows 8! My computer isn't some frigging iPhone, bring back the start button and please stop messing around with backward compatibility! Now, rebellion is screwed on my laptop. They do piss me off!

Evader99, do you have an idea on how to get around this? Is there a virtual machine that is recent enough (and free, if possible) and could be used to circumvent this issue?

Star Wars Rebellion Icons Upside Down Crossword I'meters not certain if anyone has tried to obtain Rebellion to work on WIN8 however. While I've maintained to obtain it to function, it doesn't function very properly graphically. All the pictures and icons are upside down and the colours appear as though they are usually reversed. There is one fix to the upside down icons. Create a shortcut to rebexe.exe to your desktop Add -w to the end of the shortcut to have it run in windowed mode (Example 'C:Program Files (x86)SteamsteamappscommonStar Wars - RebellionREBEXE.EXE' -w).

This is definitely a WIN8 issue. I took my laptop back to WIN7 and setup Rebellion on a x64 version. It works perfectly under WIN7. I played with it for a long time on WIN8 to try to make it work but it always comes up with the off colors and upside-down graphics. I don't know at this point what causes it, but I wonder if Microsoft took something out of WIN8 in regard to the DLL files necessary to run the graphics properly. I'll continue to play with it when I have the time, but at this point I'm keeping my laptop on WIN7 until a full resolution of the issue can be found.
