Anyone ever spontaneously develop weird audio glitching? I just started another play through, got all speed glitches dealt with, and I just started getting audio static over top of the ALL sounds today (finished up the superfreighter).

It may be something my computer is doing because of heat or other programs, so it may not really be a DX issue, but here's the weird thing: at first going into the main menu or Settings menu would make the issue go away for a few minutes, but now the static happens immediately after starting the game.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Yeah that happens to me, just restart Deus Ex repeatedly until it quits making that noise. You can tell if it's broken by the music at startup being crackly.

I think someone posted a fix earlier in the thread, something about setting the latency value higher...

Just go through the vents, go all the way to the back of the subway, talk to the hostages and they'll get on the train when you open the doors.

It's very easy. Use the vents, you can get around all of the NSF and get the hostages onboard the train without ever being spotted.

Try increasing the audio latency (press the talk button, delete "say," type preferences, hit enter, select the audio subsection, increase from 50ms to 70 or something)

Holy poo poo the grays scare the crap out of me for some reason. At the end of the game after you see the cloning tanks you have to go through that gray holding cell...they loving rushed me while I was logged into the security console and I almost had a heart attack.

Those stupid loving greys! On one of my previous playthroughs I could hear one running around but I couldn't find it, so I said "gently caress it whatever" and continue what I was doing. A minute or two later I turn around and BAM there's a loving grey standing right behind me staring at me. One of the few times a game has ever startled me.

Greys can also kill you very, very quickly, so that helps them be freaky.

Or hide in a vent and potshot the guards with tranq darts if you really feel like you must take down everyone. Or toss a gas grenade and go on a prodding spree, which is my favorite way to handle crowds on nonlethal. This game's all about options.

e: I don't think I've ever been attacked by a gray because the instant I see one, I'm filling them with as many bullets as I can as fast as possible.

Do you have a laser sight on your crossbow? When I attacked the subway the other day, I went to the middle vent, quickly took out the two guys I could see with head hits, reloaded, then jumped down and quickly took out the other 2 or 3 guys with head hits. You pretty much can't hope to do that without a laser sight, though, because the jump out of the vent will kill your accuracy.

How common are tranqs later on? I'm down to 6 and want to save them for an emergency.

I was out of tranq darts when I attacked the subway, so I went the old gas + prod route. Only I shot up a vial of Zyme beforehand and went all matrix on their asses.

Shifter + biomod ofcourse, zyme is pretty great.

There's a pretty big drought in the middle of the game, but at the beginning enemies commonly carry crossbows and there are plenty of spare darts scattered around the end-game.

In my non-lethal run I ended up having to seriously conserve darts until about X-51.

I love the tranq. darts so much. I think my favourite thing to do is shoot someone with them, then just wait next to the alarm panel with the prod out.

The darts aren't crazily common later, but there are enough to allow for a healthy mix of prod/dart/baton. Not sure about Hong Kong, as I've just got there.

They get pretty scarce around Hong Kong, but after France I find there are tons. I don't think I ever had to worry about them for the last 1/3 of the game.

Turn out that if you don't report to manderley, you can follow simons into the interrogation cell. Killing the prisoners before he finishes interrogation
yields some pretty fun dialogue.

Also, you can block simons from shooting them, allowing at least one to run out.

Try gassing them unconscious or tazing them before Simons can shoot them.

It sets them off, but it also blocks them, so you can run off as the alarm goes off.

During my dozens of playthroughs I've always wandered what happens if you ignore Tracer Tongs advice and on your second trip to versalife you go through the front door again.

I'm at that point now and those versalife bastards have changed the elavator code! Is the new code in game anywhere so you can legitamately go in that way?
