Sadly, I tried to look for any remains of those attributes in the Director’s Cut and currently did not manage to find anything. While it would be nice to see them working again, for my re-implementation I settled on picking one constant set of colors for the entire game – it doesn’t match the original Human Revolution 1:1, but it looks very close in the majority of scenarios as is.}}</ref>

{{Fixbox|1=

{{ii}} Some players have reported poor performance with the Director's Cut version.
{{Fixbox/fix|Fixing camera stuttering|ref={{cn|date=October 2016}}}}
 
There are multiple solutions that people have reported work:
 
  
* Change the ingame setting "fullscreen" to "no". If you press {{key|Alt|Enter}} the game will go back to fullscreen, but the stuttering should be gone.
+
{{Fixbox|description=Change Vsync to Fast in Nvidia Control panel|fix=
* If this doesn't fix stuttering in fullscreen but does fix it in windowed mode for Windows 7 users, right-click 'dxhr.exe' and open the Properties window, then navigate to the Compatibility tab and check 'disable visual themes' and 'disable desktop composition.' This could possibly fix stuttering in fullscreen.
+
# Go to Nvidia control-panel → Manage 3D-settings → Deus Ex HRDC Set Vsync to Fast.
* Stuttering can also be reduced by turning off triple buffering in the game menu.
+
# Press Apply and exit the control panel.
* If you're playing in DX9 mode, you may try using [http://www.enbdev.com/download_patch_deusexhr.htm Boris Vorontsov's ENBSeries SPEED IMPLANT].
 
* Reinstall the redists located in <code>redist</code> in the installation folder, then restart your computer
 
* The last possible solution would be to use DX11 mode (VSync enabled) and then go in to the registry.

Uncapped frame rate can cause temporal inability to move after some pre-rendered cutscenes and loading screens. Hacking minigame and some animations (e.g. takedowns, first person conversations) are locked at lower framerate. Enable Vsync and set refresh rate on 60hz to fix
High dynamic range display (HDR)
See the glossary page for potential alternatives.

Field of view (FOV)

Increase FOV to 120°[7]
This requires registry editing
  1. Open RegEdit
  2. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Eidos\Deus Ex: HRDC
  3. Find g_fov
  4. Change value data to 71 00 00 00.
Changing in-menu display settings will revert this change.
This tweak can possibly fix distortion when using multi-monitors with the game.

SSAA

Enable Supersampling Anti-Aliasing
This requires registry editing
  1. Open RegEdit
  2. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Eidos\Deus Ex: HRDC\Graphics
  3. Increase values of LockedWindowHeight, LockedWindowWidth by about 30% of native monitor resolution depending on hardware.
  4. Set LockWindowAspect, LockWindowResolution, LockWindowSize values to "1"
Supersampling is very demanding!
This was tested only in windowed mode. Editing fullscreen values causes the first time setup to open on game launch which resets the settings.
Use SRWE to hide window borders.

SMAA

SMAA Anti-Aliasing with SweetFX[7]
  1. Download custom SweetFX
  2. Extract archive contents to executable location

HUD scaling for higher resolutions

Using a 4k monitor or super resolution techniques like Nvidia DSR results in very small HUD elements.
Patch the game with hex edit
  1. Open DXHRDC.exe with a hex editor such as HxD.
  2. Replace the following bytes 81 FF 00 05 00 00 7C 05 BF 00 05 00 00 DB 44 24 with 81 FF 00 0F 00 00 7C 05 BF 00 0F 00 00 DB 44 24 (visual scaling)
  3. Replace the following bytes 81 FE 00 05 00 00 7D 08 8B CE 89 74 24 20 EB 09 B9 00 05 00 00 89 4C 24 20 with 81 FE 00 0F 00 00 7D 08 8B CE 89 74 24 20 EB 09 B9 00 0F 00 00 89 4C 24 20 (mouse coordinate scaling)

The game only scales the UI up to a width of 1280 = 0x500 = 00 05 00 00. These patches replace that limit with 3840 = 0xF00 = 00 0F 00 00 (the width of a 4K monitor).

VR support

Issues unresolved

Broken multi-monitor support

Multi-monitor resolutions worked correctly in the original version but have an incorrect aspect ratio in the Director's Cut.[5]

Issues fixed

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 (in the original version of the game).[9]

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.
Changing free look speed in registry[10]

Other users, under the impression that the game implemented mouse smoothing, seem to have found a registry setting that modifies mouse behavior and have had some success with editing it to fix mouse lag. Edit this specific registry setting:

  1. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Eidos\Deus Ex: HRDC
  2. Change the value of g_debugFreeLookSpeedScalingRatio_Pitch from 6e 00 00 00 to 00 00 00 00
  3. Change the value of g_debugFreeLookSpeedScalingRatio_Yaw from 86 00 00 00 to 00 00 00 00
  4. Re-adjust your mouse speed in game, no acceleration
This will also cause your game to crash when using a controller.

Poor performance and stuttering

Some players have reported poor performance with the Director's Cut version.
Change Vsync to Fast in Nvidia Control panel
  1. Go to Nvidia control-panel → Manage 3D-settings → Deus Ex HRDC → Set Vsync to Fast.
  2. Press Apply and exit the control panel.
Change registry settings[11][12]
  1. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Eidos\Deus Ex: HRDC
  2. Open dword AllowJobStealing and set it to 0
  3. D3D11 Only: Open D3D11_CREATE_DEVICE_PREVENT_INTERNAL_THREADING_OPTIMIZATIONS and set it to 1; else use Boris Vorontsov's ENBSeries SPEED IMPLANT if on D3D9.
  4. Nvidia users only: go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Eidos\Deus Ex: HRDC\Graphics and change AtiForceFetch4 to 0
Force refresh-rate inside the GPUs control-panel[citation needed]
  1. Go to Nvidia control-panel → Manage 3D-settings → Deus Ex HRDC → Max framerate
  2. Input a value multiple of your monitor's refresh-rate e.g. 144 or 120
Disable Windows 10 throttling[citation needed]
  1. Open Windows 10 Group Policy Editor (search for gpedit.msc in the start menu)
  2. Navigate to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Power Management > Power Throttling Settings
  3. Double click on 'turn off Power Throttling policy', and then click on the 'enabled' option.

Crash on start (Windows 8 and later)

Some players have reported that when starting the game, it crashes outright when the integrated Intel(R) HD Graphics adapter is enabled.
Disable the integrated display adapter[citation needed]
  1. Right-click the Start corner (or press Win+X) and choose Device Manager.
  2. Expand Display adapters.
  3. Right-click Intel(R) HD Graphics, choose Disable. Confirm when prompted.
Add launch options to Steam[citation needed]

An alternative work-around for some users, without disabling their graphics card, is to add "-nosound" to the Steam Launch Options. Some additional testing is needed to verify if this works for the majority of users.

  1. Open Steam and right-click on the game, selecting Properties.
  2. Under the General tab, select the button for Set Launch Options...
  3. Add "-nosound" without quotes into the box, and hit OK.

Despite the wording of the setting being added, this does not disable sound for the game.

Weapon zoom and interacting with terminals is laggy

Caused by long Windows uptime, most notably on Windows 8/10 due to the Fast Startup feature
Uptime Faker[13]
  1. Download Ultimate ASI Loader (not x64 version)
  2. Copy dinput8.dll to <path-to-game> and rename it to winmm.dll
  3. Download UptimeFaker32
  4. Copy both files to <path-to-game>
  5. Rename UptimeFaker32.dll to UptimeFaker32.asi
  6. Open UptimeFaker.ini and change values as noted, then save the file
AddUptimeDays=0
ProcessTime=1

Crash/Freeze caused by the telemetry

[dubious – discuss]

The telemetry may crash/freeze the game.
The Steam and GOG version are both affected by this issue.
Patch the game with DXHRDC-Patcher
  1. Download DXHRDC-Patcher
  2. Open DXHRDC-Patcher to patch DXHRDC.exe from <path-to-game>
Remove hardcoded information to prevent the program from connecting to the telemetry servers.
Optional patch for crash on startup on systems with a large number of cores.
Replace DFEngine.dll
DFEngine.dll is the code responsible for in-game advertising, as seen on billboards and such.
  1. Download DXHRDC-ModHook
  2. Copy DFEngine.dll to <path-to-game>

Replacing this file will prevent the game from attempting to download real ads to the game, you don't need to have mods installed.

If your DXHRDC.exe is patched, DXHRDC-ModHook won't run as it will check the integrity of the main executable. Use this version instead.

Crash on startup on systems with a large number of cores

The game will crash on systems with large numbers of cores.
Patch the game with hex edit
  1. Open DXHRDC.exe with a hex editor such as HxD.
  2. Go to offset 0xD3165 and replace the following bytes E8 46 F0 FF FF with 90 90 90 90 90

Crash at the final boss

The game will crash when the final boss fight begins if you defeat the crowd of enemies on the bridge before the long elevator (the one that asks for confirmation before doing down).
Go past the enemies without fighting them[14]

Use the invisibility augmentation to sneak by them, stun them with flash grenades, or simply maneuver around the enemies without killing or incapacitating them.

    "As you can see, the colors are quite different, which means those attributes are relevant for the final presentation. Sadly, I tried to look for any remains of those attributes in the Director’s Cut and currently did not manage to find anything. While it would be nice to see them working again, for my re-implementation I settled on picking one constant set of colors for the entire game – it doesn’t match the original Human Revolution 1:1, but it looks very close in the majority of scenarios as is."
