Deus Ex is my favorite game of all time, but it hasn't been updated to run on modern hardware. This video will show you how to use Kentie's launcher along with either a DirectX9 or openGL renderer. Beyond that, we have some upscaled textures that are 100% vanilla, just crispier. All the links, notes, and ini changes can be found here:

This game was so far ahead of it's time, such a classic
Best game ever
@@williamcase426 One hundred percent, one of the best PC games to ever come out. Up there with the greats no doubt. You have fantastic taste William.
@@dustymetso hell yeah brother
It's been so long since I last played the OG Deus Ex. I think I'll give it another go this Spring. It's time. It is the way!
Still true to this day: “Every time you mention Deus Ex, someone will reinstall it.”
Deus Ex? I should install it.
I played the OG a few weeks ago. Still love it
@@YLS8763true
Thats why Deus Ex is the GOAT
Thank you for this! I had like 30 tabs open looking into all the different recommended *best* ways to run Deus Ex in 2022. This ended up being exactly what I wanted. I'm running it on Linux, SteamOS on Steam Deck, so had to adjust accordingly. Other than your setup, I also added the the Map Fix Patch, Confix, & Deus Ex Unofficial Patch v2.
_"Invisible War... Pretty damn good game."_
Oh you little troll... 😂
Still better then human revolution
@MILDMONSTER1234
I didn't mind the world of human revolution, felt like a convincing reality to our own bar Hengsha
@@MILDMONSTER1234Human Revolution was great, tf are you on.
More like Invisible War was better than The Fall
I knew something was missing when I followed modern deus ex guides. I've always agreed with your philosophy on how to mod old games, and am really excited to set this up your way. Thanks Logan!
Also, any chance we can get that Tonnochi Road design released as a sweatshirt too?
Perfect Video! Always wanted to replay this classic and was overwhelmed by the many mods that are available and it was upmost important to me to maintain the OG vibe. Thank you
Thank you so much for this video! I bought Deus Ex on a steam sale recently and saw a bunch of reviews bemoaning the lack of support for modern PC's. Major thumbs up for enhancing the vanilla experience for a new player like myself, as so many other guides insist on their favorite texture packs and trying to make it run and look like a 'new game', but I'm a sucker for keeping things OG since I do enjoy the 'retro' appeal of these older PC games and am looking to play a PC game from the early 2000's without it looking like it came off the shelf in 2010.
Got it up and running, really appreciate the guide and links m8. Enjoying the hell out of my first playthrough, it really lives up to the decades of hype.
Best ever. Thanks for the guide - appreciate the attention to detail in keeping to the original. Plays fantastic.
Old games and apps are the reason i still have a top spec P4 3.6ghz + HD4670 Win XP machine and a 3.4ghz E8400 core2duo + HD6670 Win XP machine in my workshop.
Just when I wanted to finally try it out after bying it a while back on gog. Thank you so much!
Thanks for that. I bought the game ages ago and not used it. So many thanks :)
you saved my game, Deus ex has become my favorite game since the first time i played, but i completed the game in totally dark because i didn't know how to fix brigthness, so i decided to fix that after i buyed on steam, but all the guides says to use opengl, the problem is that my pc is terrible to run that renderer, basically all the games that need opengl lags on my pc making it impossible to play, so i found your video and followed your steps, when i saw you first important note wich says "Brightness can ONLY be controlled in fullscreen mode if you are using Direct3D9 mode." and it works, i feel so happy like the first time i played this masterpiece, thanks for your help.
I wanted to see some old GODZ Server vids and ran across your vid. Thanks for taking the time. I might have to re install!
dx10 is definitely the way to go. the lighting changes aren’t from dx10, it’s just an option that can be disabled. And i think in kentie’s latest version the new effects are off by default. It shows up as “classic lighting = true” in kentie’s ingame preferences utility.
thumbs up for recreating the box on your thumbnail :D
Holy hell thank you so much man, you are hella awesome
Thanks, did you try to play on ThinkPad ? And what do you think about revision mod?
Thx for this 😊 I only ever got to play playstation 2 version and have wanted to play the PC vanilla version with just updated graphics.
My game is running smoothly now .Thanks for the guide.
I love this and your morrowind videos, would love to see more like them!
Cool mods!
Thank you for the video.

Although not needed to play the game, but the ini needs updating to use a current masterserver for multiplay.
Epic still host a master on the same domain but it now only works for UT99.
The open source 333networks is the main replacement (with mirrors and their status displayed at Oldunreal), but ideally users should add multiple masters for redundancy.
I played Revision and it with no modding at all, just used the GOG alternate version and it was awesome. Amazing what they did, stable and no stuffing around
Please do not do this. Revision completely ruins the game. The character models look weird and it loses much of it's charm. I forget it if changes the music too, but if it does then it's committed an unforgivable sin. Try it this way and you'll see.
@@teksyndicate man I just finished it haha. Will give it a go old school again the next time I play it. Cool video but man, still playing morrowind going off your modding video though
@@teksyndicate you can disable the HDTP and NV skins though?
@@teksyndicate HDTP characters are not enabled by default in Deus Ex: Revision. You have to turn those on to get to them, and all HDTP is toggleable. New Vision 1.5 can also be disabled in the settings. It does not alter SFX. It has music changes it defaults to, but you can turn those off as well. Finally, it has map alterations, and as of recently, you can turn those off as well.
I guess my big caveat would be the spirit of "Don't play Revision" is inaccurate, but "Don't play Revision without the right settings" checks out.
@@YCCCm7 Yeah. Turns out that the best way to play a vanilla fixed Deus Ex in 2023 without too much hassle is actually Revision with HDTP, New Vision and new maps off, and unlike most options out there, it's available in a few clicks on steam.
That's so unreal engine looking and so nostalgic. Never played the original, but Mankind Divided is amazing too
So true. Despite Square Enix's extreme selfishness, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is an amazing game. Clearly, Eidos-Montreal knows that they're doing.
You have to play the original it's one of the best stealth games ever made.
@@darthnigus For the best, "Thief -- The Dark Project." ;) But absolute hearty agreement on Deus Ex.
Thank you for this
I've been waiting YEARS for a HD remake of this game. Might try this to tide me over until I get fed up of waiting.
Thoughts on GMDX?
BRO, YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You look more and more like an 90s B movie villain everyday.
does anybody else encounter audio popping and crackling on the music tracks? Is this caused by using DX9? Currently I'm playing the game with the DirectSound box checked.
Any help would be much appreciated
Thank you
This guy owns DX on both steam and gog. What a Chad!
Played Deus Ex for the first time in 2010. It's a masterpiece.
Do you recommend vanilla or gmdx for first playthrough?
@@blissseeker4719 I don’t remember what all mods I used, but it was pretty much just graphic mods, widescreen fix, UI scaling, that sort of thing, from what I’m sure about.
@@praetorxyn no problem. I'm happy you enjoyed it. About time I played this game instead of just enjoying the masterpiece of a art that is my profile picture
@@blissseeker4719 I'd say the setup Logan recommends is probably pretty good. I know that I couldn't play it without graphics mods, all the environments just had this hideous green hue if I remember correctly. And that was 13 years ago, so I imagine it would be way more intolerable now.
@@praetorxyn well I'll give it a go first. There's a popular graphics mod called GMDX or something but, even the creators themselves recommend an original playthrough
Tested it briefly on an AMD 5600G and it works fine and looks great (no cigarettes so far, though). Thanks!
Question. What are your opinions on the HDTP, GMDX, and New Vision mods?
I’m interested in hearing anyone’s opinions on these
Hello Logan! I just started to play Deus Ex this way and it's amazing but I can't enable EAX from my Soundblaster X-FI through the Alchemy and game settings. It just wont work but I am not 100% sure I did everything right. Please, would you help me enable it? What should I do exactly? And thank you for this great video.
anyone has that dx9 file??? i can t download it from that link , every browser blocks it cause of " phising "
Thanks for this, I need some help for step three, you say we should interact with the ini file and override it, but I looked into my system files and there isn't one, and looking around online tells me that there isn't normally one, and you say that accessing it in launcher could be overridden, wdid?
10:29 I followed everything correctly but the fog doesn't work for me. Any suggestions plz
look man.. i probably wont watch most of your videos nor can i promise any kind of continuous support but, simply for this video and your damn Ivan mug, i'mma like and subscribe, and want you to know I really appreciate you taking the time out. What a legend. All the best
i get a black screen flashing flickering when playing at full screen in 5120x1440 resolution. Is there any fix to that issue ?
PS. I think i fixed it . i enabled VRR in monitor settings
I just tried to install on an M1 mac running paralells 17 windows 11 and had absolutely no success :) , on my pre M1 mac I had it running perfectly on a windows partiton with the excellent GMDX as well....a huge loss to me to not have this game available any thoughts?
Had a blast with morrowind after watching your vids, now time to shred deus ex
The launcher makes it so the main menu doesn't show up. I just see the spinning deus ex logo. Does anyone know what I can do to fix it?
Hi. Do somebody know how change Language while using Kentie's launcher? I installed "polish" language but when I turn on game with Kentie's launcher game is still english :/
Drakkhen !!! Wait... WAT the WTF? (speechless) >> Proceeding to sub, immediately.
Thanks Logan.
What do you mean "reinstall"? I never uninstall. New system, new Deus Ex playthrough.
can you also play multiplayer with this version?
"Mista JC Denton, in da fresh."
now there is a new Directx 12 renderer for Deus Ex 2000 but is a work in progress I prefer the DirectX11 Renderer for Deus Ex 2000 and Unreal and unreal tournament 1999 thank you
Man of culture spotted.
hey Tek, ive been trying to get New vision to work with dx9, but on all the install guides it says to use dx10 or 11. Is there something you did to make it work with dx9? or is it even working for you at all?
New Vision 1.5 was noted for significant departures from the game's intended art style. New Vision 2.0a is much closer to home (but still has some glitches on characters, unfortunately), however, it uses the DDS texture swap method, which is not supported on D3D9 at all. D3D10 also has issues with performance as of an NVidia driver update, and needs veronika's HDR fix to not have edge cases where the game is unplayable for a few seconds due to brightness issues (being lit on fire will turn your entire screen pure white, for instance). But yeah. D3D11 has 2 versions, one is just Kentie's D3D11, which is D3D10 he built with slightly different dependencies. The other one has serious configuration issues when ran for Deus Ex, and ends up altering the experience.
I played the original on a Pentium 2 450Mhz 128Mb, nVIDIA RivaTNT2 Ultra 32Mb SDRAM. I replayed this game on modern hardware I prefer to keep models original & improved textures. Although I prefer Direct X 11. I just now fired the game up to compare DX9 vs DX11 but Ill go with DX11 ran on Xeon 2678v3 2080 Super 8Gb @ 1440P
Wondering if any of this runs in WINE 🤔
(I can't install Windows on my computer because the installer keeps asking me to insert a CD (or floppy lol) with a USB driver... after... having booted from USB lol. But whatever who needs windows?)
does anyone know if theres an equivalent of what OpenMW is for Morrowind for this game? I have an m1 MacBook pro, playing OpenMW on it was a beautiful experience. Hoping to find the same thing for Deus Ex!
got this game on sale recently and it keeps crashing on start up with or without the launcher and ive tried multiple renderers to no avail, i just really dont want to experience this game for the first time on a ps2 emulator. i haven't even been able to reach the main menu
thank you!!!!!!!!
Followed these instructions and can't get the game into 1920x1080 resolution. Also looks like I have 2 different ini files. The one in the folder appears to be different from the one you can access by the Deus Ex launcher link. The one in the folder had no reference to a D3D9 renderer. I pasted the renderer info into it but it's still not working. Any ideas?
I installed GMDX with no other mods, and I can run 4k 144 fps with a bunch of new options and improvements.
It was super simple and uses an installer.
Would recommend this.
man this is my favourite RP game of all time, i remember i could be playing unlimited party or big flying party when i was in my teens for like 8-12 hours straight. shit was lit
oh man please PLEASE do one of these for Interstate '76
That drop down menu that's not a cog, that's a few stacked horizontal lines - that's called a "Burger Menu".
I know, right?
Has anyone tried playing Deus Ex on linux? I heard it's supposed to work out with proton for the game and wine for kenties launcher, but for me the game gets unplayably slow and laggy as soon as I try to play it with kenties launcher. It plays perfectly (minus the things fixed by kenties launcher) when I try it without kenties launcher. Maybe it's a proton/wine version thing? Or maybe using both proton and wine to play a game is just too taxing?
Why do people even uninstall? I like invisible war but it crashes all the time
One thing that needs to be noted is that New Vision 2.0a won't fully work on OGL or DX9. You need at least DX10 for all the textures to work but unfortunately 2.0a causes stuttering on DX10. New Vision 1.5 works perfectly in DX10 so I think 2.0a is too much for the engine to handle.
I always tried but never could play without crashing to desktop (win 10 x64).
hm I followed tthis tutorial and mirrors arent workiing...
This is the correct way to play the GAME
whats wrong with the steam version?
Gotta get me one of those "I SPILL my drink" mug
I SPILL my LINK! epicpants.com/product-tag/deus-ex/
how does this way differ from the version I have on STEAM ? Just curious
The gog and steam versions are the same if that's what you're asking... so the game (without these mods) will have a larger interface, worse fov, poor widescreen support, and lower resolution textures.
@@teksyndicate ah so I can mod it and just get into how it was meant to be played without issue.. nice! Thanks , had no clue
I disagree that the audio is perfect cause i played 90% of the game with the background music muted and still enjoyed the Hell out of it. I assumed Deus Ex could run on a modern pc no problems…i didnt know one had to do extra tasks to get it to work…i originally played it on a Win XP pc in 2008 tho…
No bug fix patch or confix or maps patch? What?
Here after the Morrowind video!
How does this compare with DX revision that’s on Steam that seems to do all this?
New Vision 1.5 is bundled with Revision, and it does not support 2.0a (as they don't support d3d10/11, but default to d3d9, which is good news), and NV 1.5 is known to depart from the intended art style substantially... Hence a return to roots in 2.0a. They have HDTP available but it's very often recommended not to do human HDTP models because they are hot garbage in most people's opinions (myself included), but luckily HDTP humans is off by default. Music changes are made, but you can turn those off in the options. Map changes are made, but you can turn those off in options as well, and for first timers I'd highly recommend doing so. No SFX changes are made. Some gameplay tweaks are bundled, but you can choose between them.
In summary: Revision could be interesting for playthroughs if you just want a change of scenery, but to get to a truly vanilla experience it's much more recommended you install Deus Ex: Transcended, which ports all of Revision's many, many fixes and pieces of QOL to the vanilla game, without making all the other changes.
How come the upscsaled textures only work with directx10? it doesn't work with 9
I noticed that too. And Direct3D10 sucks because it stutters, so I can't use that
@@3iikka yeah same 3D10 stutters alot (I use Windows 11 btw), I tried using Dx9 but it won't let me turn up the brightness, like when you mess with the brightness setting in game nothing happens using Direct3D9 are you having the same problem, I even launch the game in fullscreen like he recommends in his website?
@@zeldagamer5651 Brightness works for me and I have Windows 11. I guess I'll play with the normal textures. The AI upscaled textures don't seem to make that much of a difference anyway. By googling I found some supposed solutions, like setting "UseS3TC=True" in the ini file, but none of them worked for me.
There's a dx 11 renderer on moddb just use that one. There's 2 versions and only one works for deus ex I believe it's the file second from the top on the file page.
Translate this from Brazilian portuguese:
Bem, eu sou experiente em duke nukem 3d, baldur gate(classics), fallout(classics),Dungeon Crawlers e TES. Estou realmente MUITO interessado em começar a franquia Deus Ex que sempre me gerou muito interesse. Pretendo começar mas nao sei se começo pelo primeiro titulo da franquia e adciono mods se houver necessidade ou se escolho algum outro titulo da franquia, mas se assim for, qual seria a escolha recomendada ???
Deus Ex. Primeiros título, sem dúvida.
I did all the steps accordingly, although, in the ini file, the direct3D9 paragraph is nowhere to be found. Not at the bottom, and, not anywhere else... I was excited to start playing soon.
nevermind! It's here
0:40 WHERE can I get that mug?!
They tell you then they do it... it's all there if you take the shades off.
Good guide.. Now, how about Anachronox?
That one was kinda a pain to get running on my ultrawide... It did work eventually, but I'll have to remember what I did.... Anyway, I eventually started playing on my CRT instead, lol.
Take away thr goofy shared ammo pool and invisible war isn't half bad. I loved running past a large mech and hitting it with a hacking sword before disappearing into a vent and progressing the level with soldiers screaming in the background.
Deus seems like a hidden gem most people, myself included don't know much about. This video should help with that. lol
It's funny how one of the most influential games is so under the radar. Even during its time a lot of people overlooked it.
@@allypezz is it influential? If it was, games wouldn't get that trash as they are today
@@pauldenton1497 Good point. I guess influential doesn't always mean better.
Deus Ex. Every time someone mentions it, I will reinstall it.
Thanks Logan !!
GOG is selling GOTY edition then the revision can be downloaded for free. Simples, total cost £0.69
R E I N S T A L L E D
I can't tell if you were being sarcastic but I agree, Invisible War IS a pretty good game
For returning players, I also suggest the mod GMDX, you can find it on ModDB, it's a real nice way to refresh the experience :)
GMDX is amazing, but to me it strays too far from the vanilla DX experience for my tastes. It's more like a total conversion, like if the OG Deus Ex was made today, this is what it would play like. But for me, the jank is part of the charm of Deus Ex. It doesn't feel right without it, if you understand what I'm saying.
I wanted the GEP gun. It gave me lemon-lime
I can't tell if you were being sarcastic about IW being "a pretty damn good game". I need to know because I need to send this to a friend to mod the game to get it to work and I don't need him hearing any disinformation.
I hate the interface and the constant loading... And the tiny levels... And a ton of other things... But the writing is pretty good
@@teksyndicate I hated the story. I hated the whole thing. Such a fall from greatness. I need to buy that mug and t-shirt though.
My favorite way of playing Deus Ex is on PCSX2, na mean
🙂 yay GOG
5:54 its actually sticks and stones
Tbf, Revision mod is very malleable. Don't like new maps? You can disable em and switch to vanilla, don't like gameplay changes? There's two other gameplay styles on top of vanilla that you can chose, you can chose "normal"(Revision gameplay changes), biomod, shifter or vanilla.
It also has tons of difficulty changes(there's custom difficulty and there's also game modifiers like baggy coats which drastically redues your inventory space which makes it all the more important to think about what you actually need)and achievements. It's a small additions but I love em and again it's very customisable and you can disable junk you don't like, unfortunately most achievements are tied to revision maps so if you achievement Hunter(like me) you'll have to suffer some bad Revision maps 😅
vanilla?
The original experience. The normal version.
Who knows how to fix the save game issue
What issue?
@@teksyndicate it won’t let me save lol it says I need 10mb of disk space
Where is Albert shout out 2022
You're the first person saying the second game was a good game.. i can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not but.. i love the second game and hate how much people rip on it without giving it a chance. yea i know it was dumbed down a bit and consolified and i don't typically like it when games do that but.. it's still a great game.
