So just purchased this and downloaded the Steam version, and it seems to be running really fast.

Like conversations will skip to the next line before a character is finished speaking, and whenever I sprint and look at the ground I'm like the flash.

Any way of fixing this? Did some looking and it seems to be related either to power managing options (on a desktop) or multi-core (have a quad core system but set the deusex.exe affinity to one core and no change)

I used the fixer from the OP off the bat and turned everything on, including disabling throttling. Tried turning just the disable throttle off but same issue.

Did you turn on vsync? That seems to work for me. The only speed issues I got were from playing it off a slow as gently caress external drive.

I finally got everything running smooth (for some reason if my external hard drive is plugged in my game speed shits itself) and I started a new game. Liberty island is so much better when you know what to do and you've played the game before. I'm also finding new things constantly.

Someone mentioned carrying a dead body into Jock's copter and yes, you can. I carried the real engineer's body over to him at the "A Bomb!" helipad to give him evidence of the chicanery going on and ended up on the roof with the body post flight after the discussion with the roof hottie was over.

Also drink from UNATCO water fountain.

You can also bring Lebedev through almost all of the game, I think.

I'm on my first playthrough of the game and read a few pages but I started to get a little worried that I would spoiler the game for myself if I kept reading.

I've been getting random and sporadic slowdowns while playing with both the standard direct3d renderer and the direct 10 3d renderer listed in the OP and nothing from the FAQ in that fixer has helped me to actually resolve the issue. None of the tweaks or anything.

Does anyone have any leads? Should I disable throttling?

I was having similar issues but that seemed to fix it.

I did this, and after clearing out the hotel Paul was all like "hey you go to hong kong, I'll get smuggler to deal with my gimpy rear end" so I went and got captured by gunther and I'm in the unatco base and paul is dead and I've gotta go copy his datavault like usual. Is Paul hosed either way or did the game just gently caress me?

Incidentally after playing Deus Ex countless times I don't think I ever tried executing Anna on the 747 before either, when she wants you to execute Lebedev. At this point we just learned that Paul has gone rogue and JC hasn't officially turned yet and alex freaks out on the datalink all "JESUS gently caress THEYLL HAVE YOU EXECUTED, I, I, I'll just delete this video..." and then manderly curses at you during the debriefing but then you fall back into the usual "you were right to refuse to kill him in cold blood!" dialog for most of the other characters which doesn't really fit.

You went out the window, I bet. If you go through the front door he survives, but the window has him die.

I also set a trap to kill Anna (I used the barrels of boom behind the door method) and I have to say, it was nice not having to fight her. On my next run I'll actually use her killphrase.

I just finished the first bit at VersaLife, and holy poo poo, escaping through the vents without setting off the alarm is great. I only have one question, though. Where do you run into Paul, if he survives NYC Tracer Tong and his Guards keep telling me about him, but I can't find him anywhere. Is his disappearance related to my raid of the police station or breaking of VersaLife?

Where is this vent located? I think I'm gonna try for a silent, anti-action thing next playthrough.

It's on top of where the computer is, by a security camera. You need at least level 3 legs to get up there. You jump on the railing, then on top of the dome thing, then into the vent as you close the grate. If you do it right, it will close so you can stand on it.

I have somehow managed to get an objective stuck as uncompleted. It hasn't hindered progress, but it's odd getting on the helicopter to go to France and seeing that you need to align the satellites and send a distress signal.

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.

Wait, are you using shifter? Every time I've put crates in front of lasers it sets them off. I still need to try the fire extinguisher trick.

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

I remember getting caught stealing poo poo from the convenience store in front of the casino in HK. I ended up shooting tons of HK cops and no one gave a poo poo which was kind of neat.

I straight-up murdered them after they managed to do jack poo poo in the Lucky Money. they didn't even attack the MJ12 commando that was outside the club

Imagine a "Functional Alcoholic JC" mod. Start JC at the Liberty Island dock as usual, then have him gradually gain the drunk effect and the only way to get rid of it is to find more booze. Most maps have booze scattered around but I'm sure JC would often have to grab all the bottles lying around a bar and stockpile them for the next map.

Can the game handle Lebedev not dieing?
Yep, it's one of the expected outcomes. There's one for if you don't kill him, but Anna does, and one for if Anna is scared away or killed. Hearing massive boom after placing a couple explosive barrels by the door is a lot of fun.

When you first play Deus Ex, Liberty Island is awful because you don't know what to do, you don't know the game mechanics, so you end up dying a lot, get frustrated and quit.

On later runs it's fantastic because you know how the game works and it's probably one of the more in-depth levels in the game.

When I played the tutorial, I was so traumatized by the security bot Molesting me until my legs were crippled that I did a great job on Liberty Island because I didn't even remotely consider trying the front door. I just snuck up the back of the tower and bob's your uncle.

In fact I don't really see what's so bad about it except that you would probably have godawful accuracy at first?

The big problems I had were with not really knowing how the stealth system worked, picking the wrong weapon (HERP DERP THIS CROSSBOW WILL BE HANDY) and then trying to run and gun because I have a gun so it's obviously a shooter!

Any time after you start the raid with Paul, you can safely die and you just end up at the MJ12 facility. I remember seeing a speedrun where the guy got hit in the torso enough that he just smoked a pack of cigarettes right after he finished the conversation and then the game continued from there.

Am I right in thinking biomods in IW are almost useless? I got both the strength and speed mods and haven't used them at all. I thought people were exaggerating about the game being dumbed down, but it really does feel that way.

Hacking is kinda handy and bot domination has saved me some trouble here and there. Honestly, I just went with silent running and threw a silencer on my sniper rifle and went to town. There have only been a handful of enemies I can't one hit kill yet.

Am I crazy, or can I not rebind the jump key in shifter. Whenever I try to bind space to jump/mantle (or any other key, for that matter) it just resets it when I hit OK. I can bind other keys and they'll stay bound, just not jumping.

The most fun thing about IW was being able to roll burning barrels down the street and gently caress with ragdoll mechanics. That was great fun in 2005 or whenever it came out.

I'm pretty sure that I've used piles of bodies to get past death lasers on at least one occasion. I wish IW didn't flip the gently caress out on my computer so I could actually try to finish it.
