Performance Improvements
Run Without CD/Steam/etc.
- Install Deus Ex normally. For CD versions you must choose the full install option.
- Download the latest version of Deus Exe
- Go to the
Systemfolder in the install folder (defaultC:\DeusEx) - Replace
DeusEx.exewith the one from the Deus Exe download, confirming the replacement and/or User Account Control prompt(s) if they appear.
This method will work for both CD and download versions except for GameFly/Direct2Drive.
Steam users: note that choosing to verify the game cache integrity within Steam will replace Deus Exe with the original file, so if you do that simply repeat these steps again.
Mods
A number of mods have been released for Deus Ex which include improvements to texture quality and gameplay adjustments:
Kentie's Custom Launcher
Kentie's Custom Launcher is a modification which launches the game from an additional window which allows you to easily change advanced settings such as how the GUI scales, your preferred field of view and allows you to change graphics settings without launching the game. Additionally, the 'Data Directories' submenu allows you to easily enable and disable mods without removing the files from your Deus Ex directory. Note however that this mod does not work with the Direct2Drive version of Deus Ex, and the author is unable to provide a fix for this issue.
Deus Ex: New Vision
Deus Ex: New Vision replaces the vast majority of the games texture files with HD remakes, drastically improving the visual appeal of the game. It is compatible with Kentie's Custom Launcher, however note that to use these improved textures an additional renderer is required. 2 are included in the New Vision download, one for DirectX and one for OpenGL, and a video demonstrating full installation of the mod with Kentie's Launcher can be found here.
Deus Ex HDTP
Deus Ex HDTP (High Definition Texture Project) is an unfinished mod which aimed to remodel and retexture the majority of the games assets. A first version was released before the project was left unfinished which included a remodelled Gunther Hermann and several new objects and weapons with new models and textures. Notably this release is compatible with Deus Ex: New Vision and Kentie's Launcher.
Shifter
Shifter fixes many common annoyances with the game, including improved enemy AI and a restructured augmentation system which replaces augmentations considered obsolete by the developer of the mod. Note however that this mod makes the game significantly easier by increasing the number of skill points awarded and items dropped among other things.
The Nameless Mod
The Nameless Mod is an extensive conversion of Deus Ex which provides a new storyline within the Unreal 1 engine set outside of the Deus Ex universe. This modification is fully voiced and includes many new weapons and features.
