Instructions

Debug Menu

The 'Debug Menu' mod allows you to manipulate the game (no health regen, infinite power, infinite ammo, AI options, UI options) and has a "Shop" feature, which lets you spawn yourself augmentations, money, weapons, weapon mods and other in-game items, as well as tons of debug options which you probably should leave alone.

ENB visual mod

Boris Vorontsov, the same who wrote the GTA:IV improve visuals, created a mod that changes the effects of lighting and smoke for improved visuals. This mod only runs in DX9 and will degrade performance. A gallery is available on his page for comparison.

Game data

Save game location

<userID> is your numeric user ID on Steam unique to your account.

The file naming convention appears to be this:

• gameq = quicksave file (from hitting F5)
• gamea1 and gamea2 are the autosave files. Not sure yet if it alternates or if 2 is always the most recent
• gamer1, gamer2, etc are your regular save files.

Digital Deluxe Extras

To get the digital extras (soundtrack, documentary, etc) in Steam, open the library tab in the steam browser, choose "tools" from the drop-down menu and install the Deus Ex Digital Deluxe "tool".

Issues and Fixes

Mouse lag/acceleration

Some users report that the mouse feels laggy and looking around feels unnatural. Some have attributed this to an implementation of mouse acceleration, however Eidos developer Jimo has stated that there is "no mouse smoothing applied in DXHR".

The problem may simply be input lag which is usually related to V-Sync. Disabling V-Sync seems to fix input lag for most users.

Instructions

Camera stuttering (stuttering while moving and looking around at the same time)

Instructions

Pre-rendered cutscene flickering

There is an issue that affects players using AMD Crossfire whereby pre-rendered cutscenes, e.g the opening scene, will flicker very visibly and be impossible to watch. To fix this, simply change the AMD Crossfire X mode for dehr.exe to "optimize 1x1" in the Catalyst Control center.

Tutorial Crash

If your game crashes when a tutorial pops up and only shows black, go into the game options and disable tutorials.

Game lags and audio stutters with FX-Bulldozer CPU

If you own an AMD Bulldozer CPU and the game is laggy (or the audio is stuttering), you can download and run a program called Orochi-Ceg that may fix the issue. It should be noted that this solution is temporary and that it may have already been fixed by your motherboard manufacturer. You are recommended to search for a BIOS update on their website for a permanent fix.

You should not, in any case, run this program if you have an Intel processor.

There are modified unofficial BIOSes that you can run that may also fix the issues. Use of these BIOSes are at your own discretion.

Altered HUD Placement

Some users have discovered an issue where the HUD moves itself to the left-middle of the screen, as though it were placed for a different resolution. Although a restart of the game usually fixes it, this may not be the case for everyone. This thread, on Eidos' forums, details a number of other fixes users have tried, successfully, to remedy the fix.
