I played Deus Ex at least a dozen times. I played IW through at least 6 times. I still have my copy of IW but lost my copy of DX years ago. I can't NOT buy this game for $2.50. I'm just glad that buying the bundle is not required. EDIT: Purchased.

Whenever I've played Deus Ex I've always had this song playing in the background on repeat. I don't know why I do it, but now I can't play Deus Ex with the original music. The two go together really really well. Edit: Actually I might as well go ahead and add the Terminator theme song as well. I'm going to end up making a whole playlist of songs to listen to while playing Deus Ex, aren't I? Eyebrows Mulligan fucked around with this message at 03:38 on Apr 21, 2010 |

After installing the DX10 renderer on Win7 64, the game seems to want to run too fast regardless of any speed fixes in the other utility from that site. What a shameful thing

This is a great game, it has bugs, but honestly most of them are fun to exploit and a big part of why I still fire it up from time to time. One thing that confused me was what happens if you manage to get into the prison cell with the two NSF guys - getting in there feels like an exploit because the door wont open for you so you have to wait for manderly to come, be standing infront of it when he tries to open it, then when it does you can hit use on him so he gives his "we're looking to you to set an example" speech, which gives you enough time to get inside and the door to shut behind you locking him out (he resumes walking forward against the door but the door wont open again from the outside). If you manage all this you are free to talk to the NSF guys, you would think they would only have generic stuff to say, however, despite the dodgy means of getting into this room there's a scripted conversation sequence between you and one of them, manderly even stops his head-butting of the door to interject part-way through. Then if you choose to kill or knock out these guys manderly will get upset - "jesus christ denton", this option will also result in the two MIB's outside telling you off. Am I missing a more legitimate method of getting into this room because if not all I can think was they designed a scripted sequence for an encounter they made almost impossible.

I guess it's the price I pay for being on a ridiculous laptop, but IW slows down and speeds up ridiculously on my machine (single core, getting senile, huge overheating problems) such that it is unplayable. For reference, it does this with a lot of things (Heroes of Might and Magic 2 for example  ) but this is just ridiculous.Fuzz1111 posted:Am I missing a more legitimate method of getting into this room because if not all I can think was they designed a scripted sequence for an encounter they made almost impossible.

It's Simons, not Manderley. Also, yeah, they literally did program an entire dialogue tree you won't be able to get to unless you wait for Simons to open the door and then walk in behind him. The game is just that detailed to allow for you to do things like that.

Seeing as I've lost my disks I was thinking of grabbing this for the steam special. (It and Invisible War are $2.50 each for midweek madness) But I wanted to know if there was anything I needed to worry about running it on windows 7? and I'm sorry if this has already been asked.

I seem to have fixed the issue I was having in Win7 x64. If you have set Data Execution Prevention to OptOut, a non-default but commonly recommended security measure, exclude DeusEx.exe. I think at least one other person was having the same issue as me, input freezing within a minute or so of launching, so hope this helps somebody.

fleshweasel posted:Frankly I don't see why everyone is so into a DX10 renderer for a 10 year old game. Same feeling about the UT3 cum shaders posted a while back. I tried both on a couple occasions and never worked correctly for me. I like the new OpenGL renderer though. Direct X is pretty much always backwards compatible with previous versions, by the way. I'm into it because for me the DX10 renderer is the only way to get the game running at all. DX9 almost works but has screwy speedups and slowdowns no matter what I do to my processor speed, and anything else just crashes. As a bonus it has a built-in multiprocessor fix, proper widescreen support, working resolution selection, way more sane default settings, etc. Haven't noticed any cum shading. I think that out of the box the only thing it does that actually looks different is the lighting, which is easily switched back to classic mode. A Violence Gang posted:Have run the fixer tool, no effect (does it even give you a response to indicate it successfully applied its changes?), and as I said, have tried multiple rendering options. Applying compatibility mode settings to DeusEx.exe results in a "Cannot find Steam" error. Last time I tried the fixer, it would write its changes directly to Program Files despite Windows wanting to keep the INIs in VirtualStore. It's probably faster to just fix things manually than it is to shuffle the files back and forth.

Yeah I was also wondering about that -- I didn't get a UAC prompt despite this ostensibly needing to write to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam..., another reason I wasn't sure it did anything at all. Will try manually but for now I'm just happy it runs since I figured out the DEP thing.

just started a new game; I was wondering if there existed any type of mod to enlarge the size of the rifle/pistol scope while keeping the OTP UI fix? Running at 1080p makes it impossible to see anything even on a fairly large monitor; it's like the size of a quarter. Any advice to make it more bearable?

Just finished The Nameless Mod. Planning to go through it again soon. The amount of attention to detail and work that has been put into the mod in general is impressive. And going back to the "plot important NPC invulnerability" discussion - the mod does a better job of working with that than either "real" game. There are 5-6 NPCs you can't kill, and 5 of them have an explanation that makes sense in-game (there's also a building with 4-5 guys you can't kill and have your game continue if you choose one faction)

I wonder if Deus Ex (the first game, not the entire franchise) ever will be shareware and geeks are allowed to rebuild the game using the same audio etc only with better visuals/new textures. I dont know anything about programming and the likes so I'm not even sure if its possible, but I would sure love to see this game 'remade' like geeks did with System Shock 2. Started playing this game again a few days ago and I'm simply in awe.

Seeing it, as well as 2-3 other fourth wall breaking scenarios, are key to unlocking a hidden ending of the game.
