Visible Upgrade: Unofficial patch for Deus Ex 2

Fixes many issues encountered on modern systems
Includes John P's Deus Ex Unified Texture Pack as option during installation

Improve textures

John P's Deus Ex Unified Texture Pack improves textures and models for most of the game's assets and is a compilation of a variety of mods into a single installer.
The GOG.com version of Invisible War is treated as the UK version. The Unified Texture Pack's installer will need to be set to UK to work.

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/6920/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (6920) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
