Afterwards the selector moves but I can't actually switch away from item 1. Reading the last few pages, I'm glad to see some people are enjoying BioMod.

it also doubles as a way of disabling mantling, for that guy earlier who apparently wanted to disable it.

Do flares actually do anything? I never bother picking them up since they seem so useless and your basic starting aug completely replaces their function anyway.

I got pretty far into this game(To Paris) but I never finished it, then I lost my file. I've tried restarting it a few times so I don't have it in me to play through liberty island again even though I know it picks up so goddamn good afterwards. Ughhh I guess I should go try again

The original intent was to have enemies see and react to the player's light, but the Unreal engine couldn't do this. This is why there are IR goggles and the Night Vision aug, as well as flares and flare darts. As is, they're a mediocre way to create a distraction. In Shifter, flare crossbow darts set the target on fire... maybe they did something like that with flares, dunno.

DVD Drive posted:The door's not hidden but it has a passcode iirc. Yeah, I think you have a choice between either using up multitools on the door code (lots of them), or lockpicking the door in the bathroom that leads to Lucius DeBeers, where there is a computer that you can hack for the code. I think. I definitely missed Morpheus the first time through. He is damned cool though. [e]  I wonder how hard it would be to code a white phosphorous grenade and add it in as something that randomly shows up. Just recolor a gas grenade and make it explode with the WP rocket's explosion, right? It would be super useful. VVVVVVVV doesn't that get alex pissed off at you? I remember once he killed me with a shotgun. orange lime fucked around with this message at 16:27 on Jul 3, 2010 |

What I really love about this game are the little details and unexpected events, like in Paris when you're searching a room and the phone rings. I think there are ringing phones prior to that (nice scare when you're quietly sneaking through some offices), so when you pick it up at this stage you don't expect anything. And presto, robot on the blower.

I'm playing through Invisible War again and I'm encountering a very serious problem. After about two hours worth of play, the game grinds to a halt and everything, from the game to the menus, play at half a frame per second. I tried all the work arounds online I could find. Disabling V-synch, setting it to using only one processor in the Task Manager. Has anyone tried anything or know anything that fixes this problem? Or does the game simply not like another above single core processors?

That kind of errors sounds like the save errors older games would sometimes get, where your save files would get so drat big that it ended up slowing teh engine down trying to autosave constantly. That's assuming IW even has autosave, though, I never got around to playing it, even though I actually bought the drat game at release, ha.

To be honest, I think that's exactly the problem. I tend to save a lot in Deus Ex games. Invisible War is the only game that has this problem, though. That unofficial fix in the OP helped out with the original, so I never had slowdown problems with the game.

Oh we keep him cold to preserve him so we can use him as a think tank (or something like that). JC: Hey Lucius, Everett is purposely keeping you cold so he can use you. Lucius: What? Bullshit! I'll show him, go to that computer and kill me, nobody does that to Lucius Debeers. JC: Everett, I killed Lucius Everett: What a shame.

Ainsley McTree posted:I remember one time I was in the lucky money in hong kong, and I bought a (child?) prostitute who followed me around, even down into the secret gangster board room downstairs behind the bar. I left the secret room through the stairs without breaking the windows, but she didn't follow me up. Then I was walking around the dance floor and she came bursting through the two-way mirrors to catch up with me. This phenomenon can happen at the DuClare Chateau, too. If you climb into the vent to get into Beth DuClare's secret room, Nicolette will try to come in through the door that's blocked. She'll run at the beams for like 6 seconds and then they all explode to clear her way. NICOLETTE SMASH

When you have to shut down the generator, there's the giant fight between UNATCO troops and NSF dudes. I let them kill each other and proceeded to go to the locked door at Osgood. Me pulling forth my lockpick and am about to begin picking, when BAM! NSF trooper blows the door down and starts shooting me in the face. I screamed like a girl.

I decided to break my way into the convenience store, but was too lazy to pick the door (or find some other way, maybe a key), so I just shattered one of the glass panes. Waited the alarm out, killed the guards, explored the area, etc. I'm just about done with the prostitute bursts in through the glass and sets off the alarm again.

Played through Invisible War 1) Universal ammo sucks balls. 2) The levels are tiny. There's much less exploration. 3) I couldn't work out how to get it to run in 16:10 so all of the characters wound up looking chunky. 4) In DX1 there were lots of rewards - augs, weapon upgrades, rare ammo, skill points, credits, etc. They've stripped out so much that the rewards that are left (augs, credits, weapon upgrades) are so heavily overused that they cease to have any impact. 5) The weapons suck compared to DX1. Where the gently caress are my WP rockets or HE20 grenades? 6) You're way less powerful in DX2 than in DX1 and the augs are less useful. 7) The engine itself sucks to the point that they'd have been better sticking with the Unreal Engine and boosting the polygon counts. 8) The story is the least bad bit but that's not saying much.
