Deus Ex Multiplayer

And they all sing the same refrain:
Its fun to take a trip, put acid in your veins.

I just started playing deus ex.
seems okay to me, but also a little weak.
it has a lot of the stuff i've seen in system shock 2
and thief 1/2, but not as well implemented.
the movement seems rigid.
hopefully i'll get used to the way it plays and
start liking the game more.
i hope Thief 3 doesn't get IONized too....

Cool, this patch actually makes Deus Ex playable on my GeForce 2. I've been wanting to play this for a while now but couldn't deal with the choppiness up to this point.

#8293, hmmmm.... i dont think so.

TeamArena is about to go gold I can feel iy in my wood.........its also going to rain tonight.

I loved that "all skill point" bug in Deus Ex. That owned. Why'd they fix it? ;)

OK, I tried this multiplayer and the gameplay seems very slow... not that the framerates were bad, just that the movements were slow.

Maybe it's this GF2. Nvidia cards don't work for shit in anything other than openGL. :(

It may be time to go back to the V5 and some HSR drivers...

I think a lot of the blame for horrid framerates in Deus Ex is due to a few poorly designed areas.

The VERY first mission when you start on the dock is VERY slow on every system I've ever seen it on. (side note: what a first impression to the gamers!) Why? Poor level design really. It will run equally like ass on a Voodoo 5 or Geforce with the same CPU. The entire dock is pretty high in poly count with the cage underneath, hand railings, support beams, etc. Add on top of that the fact that the whole level is so open, plus the statue and its base with the windows...

At the time I was playing Deus Ex through, I had a Celeron 566. By overclocking it to 800 I got a huge boost. Although I didn't actually bench it, it was very noticable. There was almost no change when switching detail stuff on/off and changing resolution.

At first I blamed the Unreal tech vs. D3D vs. only-Glide-runs-good, but after seeing the same slow areas run equally like ass (compared to my TNT2U) on a Voodoo 3 I'll just blame the designers. Unreal and Rune run just fine.

It may not hurt that I have 320megs of RAM, seems like Unreal engine wants at least 128mb when using D3D. Considering RAM prices these days (even in the past year or so), 64meg is pretty unexcusable anyway.

Oh well. Deus Ex is still the best game I've played in a long time. It gets my vote for GOTY.

If they can release a patch that incorporates Loki's OGL code, why the hell can't Epic?

Is this the patch that makes the game ummm...have multiplayer?

When i put it to OpenGL i get this purple square in front of teh gun barrel and everyone has white goggles on... weird...

WTF is this!?

Deus ex and no Co-op?!

OH BOY MULTIPLAY WILL BE FUN AS LONG AS ITS DEATHMATCH, FRIENDS

yaya, how cool, i can build defenses, by constructing buildings by moving boxes around!!!!1

Hmmm.. While some of us are talking about Rune, when I had 1 133mhz 128mb stick in my case, Rune ran like ass with my TNT2U (yes, long live the king or something). Anyways, I threw in another stick upgrading to 256 and it just took off.. Same with Deus Ex before the patch.. or maybe my rig is just messed up. Oh well, I'm happy with it. :)

i think more evangelion episodes need to magically appear on ominous's thing

take notice id, they are releasing a patch that adds what the game was missing when it was released and they arent even calling it an expansion pack and charging $30 for it.

Is this the patch that makes the game run well on GeForce2s?

Seriously.

i still have to buy deus ex. but then, i also have to buy large quantatites of time. i'm having enough trouble on quickfix short attention-span games like diablo ii. i got opfor finally, and it's taking me forever to get through :/

so, how is the performance increase for you guys?

The replacement D3D .DLL file makes Deus Ex fly on my machine, with all the goodies cranked. The only exception to this is areas with tons of people, such as the Hong Kong market and nightclub. Other than that, the game simply runs better as it goes - more experienced mappers as the levels get made?

By the way, for those that don't know, Deus Ex is about the only game that matters. It's even better than System Shock 2. You may find it a little wonky to begin with, but after some initial growing pains the game goes on to amaze and stupefy even the most jaded player.

Okay i just gave it a run through....

This is not very fun...all i had to do was get super haxor skillz and I set all turrents to kill the enemies. I feel sorry for modem guys cause by default you shoot like ass unless you power up fast. I would suspect the mod community will do some awesome stuff though. I would play this on a lan.

As for performance...well that V5 I borrowed one day is still faster...

So is the updated D3D .dll any faster than the beta one that was out before?

So, how long until a Counterstrike clone comes out?

Actually, now that I think about it. A "futuristic" type counterstrike mod for this would seem pretty cool.

Ok I'm trying to rip a DVD to DivX. I just saw it and man is it ugly. Anyway to make the image less cubical?

So, uh, anyone actually played this yet? I figure it would be pretty lame, personally.
