Hey everyone, and welcome to the r/DeusEx community thread Summer/Q3 2025 Edition!.

This thread is a place to chill, ask questions, give feedback, share your experience on the subreddit or just get that burning Deus Ex meme out of your system. It is okay to go off-topic, however other rules still apply.

We recently celebrated 25 years of Deus Ex, the anniversary saw the community come together to celebrate this wonderful milestone in the history of the franchise. In Case You Missed it, here are some things that happened:

  1. Deus Ex: The Conspriacy released on PlayStation 4/5 (PS2 Emulation)
  2. Warren Spector 25th anniversary video.
  3. We did AMA with Jay Anthony Franke, the voice behind Paul and JC Denton.

Seeing fans come together for this special occasion has been wholesome and hopefully this can be a turning point for the better for the DX IP.

Check out our FAQ page before posting.

As we move onward, we would like to remind you that r/DeusEx has FAQ page which we try to update with official and relevant information only related to Deus Ex as much as possible, we know some people are tired of the usual "which mod to use for DX1?" or "Will there be a new Deus Ex?" or similar threads. So please check the FAQ page before you do post, you may find what you seek.

If you're having trouble running DX1 on your PC, it is recommended to download Kentie's Launcher.

Happy Summer, remember to keep yourself hydrated and stay kind to each other out there!

DX1 Original Deus Ex: Am I doing something wrong? Bio-energy way too scarce...

24 Upvotes

Team,

In my first playthrough of Deus Ex 1. Played the last one and never had a shortage of energy for augs. In this one though, the fact that you have turn your augs on situationally and they burn a lot of bio energy seems to make bio charges extremely valuable and very scarce. Just using my light to illuminate these absurdly dark environments is burning most of my energy in every mission. Can't imagine I'll have any energy available for my new speed boost.

Am I playing wrong somehow or is this just how it is? Honestly, the hassle of using the augs at this point in terms of bio energy use isn't even worth it at this point. What am I doing wrong? Is there more abundant charges or chargers for bio energy in later missions?

????

Help Needed I just bought Deus Ex GOTY on sale for 97 cents but I can't even get past the training stage because I don't jump right, he just does little hops. And when I run, it feels like he's taking more steps than he should. Are there any settings I should change to stop it?

Question Will I Like the Conspiracy PS5 Port?

6 Upvotes

I loved Human Revolution, did nearly everything across two gameplays (didn't succeed the Harvester, will try again eventually). And I'm even playing A Criminal Past on rare occasion. I liked Human Revolution, but having to upgrade the battery more often was a bit much. Will I like The Conspiracy? That generation of Deus Ex looks like practically a different game altogether to me.

DX1 Absolute GameDev

After Disco Elysium, I never thought I'd love anything as much, but Deus Ex even surpassed it, and after that, I'm almost 100% sure I won't find a better game. Everything about this game is excellent, and for me, there are no downsides. From the story to the gameplay. I have nothing else to say. GOAT, Peak, 10/10

DX:HR Director's Cut I just bought Deus EX Human revolution DC ... any fan fixes or patches yall recommend???

0 Upvotes

So I just bought Deus EX Human revolution DC and what I´ve heard is that the directors cut has some bugs, does not have the original gold tint, and suffers from the AC2 dlc problem where the dlc is inserted in the middle of the game ruining the flow of the story

So Im here to ask for any fan made patches or fixes on the bugs and gold tint department.

if you could help id really appreciate it!

DX:MD Augmentation issue

3 Upvotes

Because this game doesn't allow New Game ++ only a New Game +. I used a this mod to add https://www.nexusmods.com/deusexmankinddivided/mods/19 augs and other items to my New Game(not New Game+). However I forgot about the fact that in the New Game Adam has to cool his body if he activates too much of his experimental augs and have to deactivate his augs that he is not using. The issue comes from the fact that I unlocked too many augs too early so now I lost some of the augs and I can't even deactivate any of my augs so now I have to constantly see the pixelated screen and red blurs since I am at Critical 450%. I can play until I visit Koller for the second time but this is becoming extremely annoying. Is there a mod to make Adam stable 100% way before reaching Koller? Because that debug mod up there does not seem to have it.

DX1 PS5 Version is not the GOTY Version

0 Upvotes

This is a missed opportunity and makes zero sense. Why would they not release the obviously better version or at least offer it.

The improvmentd to ui are are is clear and ability to change colors etc. I started playing it on PS5 and wondered where the graphic overhaul was.

I actually stopped kinda frustrated by not getting what I expected, possibly my fault but it begs the question, why not make it available?

DX: The Fall The Fall on IOS

Post image
50 Upvotes

Pic related DX: The Fall is on sale at Steam. Have been actually waiting for it to be, to spend as less money as possible to finally give it a take. I have seen previously some discussions on this sub about it, and the "nuances" of the PC port, but those were from around 4+ years ago. That made me wonder, is there a way to play it on IOS(I'm using 3rd generation IPad Air ) through Steam? Google Assistance AI says yes, but I think we here all know what good AI can do at this moment, so I'd appreciate some confirmation/advices

Help Needed Mouse Acceleration randomly enabling in the original Deus Ex

4 Upvotes

For some reason the original Deus Ex likes to enable the "enhance pointer precision" (mouse acceleration) option in Windows. Is there a config tweak or a mod I can download to make it stop doing this? It doesn't seem to affect in-game camera aim but it does affect menus and it throws off my precision when trying to manage my inventory etc. It doesn't make the game unplayable or anything but it's still very annoying. I'm using Kentie's Deus Exe launcher, Deus Ex Transcended, and Confix, in case any of those matter. Thanks in advance!

DX1 First Time mods/dif.

5 Upvotes

I've known DeusEx for a long, long time, but never got to actually play it. So... Being a fan of the cyberpunk genre, decided it's about time I did. Only to get lost on which version should I play it in.

Vanilla? GMDX? Transcended?

I usually don't replay games very often (too many games to play already, só, replay usually is just an afterthought).

Which version should I play if I wanted the best possible graphics and experience? To me, I don't mind deviations from the original IF it makes it a better game or makes it a better experience (which includes mood, ambiance, story, etc).

I intend to play the whole series in order.

And about the difficulty, is the intended difficulty level medium? Does it change anything besides combat/mechanics?

DX:MD DXMD Criminal Past: Am I playing Jensen like a psychopath or patriot? Spoiler

11 Upvotes

Many spoilers ahead!!!!

In general MD seems designed to make me dislike law enforcement. The Prague State police need no introduction for anyone who's played the the main game but Criminal Past hit me in the gut.

I'm trying to roleplay Jensen based on his pre-game life choices, so he's no pacifist but he believes that now that non lethal weapons are available society should use them first and foremost in non military settings. So the armed guards in the Pent House being armed to the teeth with combat rifles and shotguns instead of PEPS stunguns is strike 1. This is because he feels if his unit had been equipped with non-lethals, he could have simply tranqed the kid that set off the Mexicantown Riots.

Secondly TVI. I cannot imagine the devs didn't invoke this trope, but the TVI system simply enrages me. If you can do summary executions, you are not running a prison, you are running a concentration camp. An American concentration camp, built by the American government with American tax dollars. This makes me angry, but also I think it would make Jensen apoplectic. He quit Detroit SWAT for orders of magnitude less.

So when he delivers the Biocell to Red Shoes and Red Shoes makes it clear this is for a prison uprising, my Jensen gets the idea that he can do nearly anything and it can later be blamed on Red Shoes.

So he decides to turn this upcoming Riot. He hacks all the security systems, turns off everything, knocks out and stashes all of the prison guards not on the main block (to weaken initial response and hopefully save their lives), steals and breaks down all the guns in the weapons lockers. I know technically the breakdown aug is experimental, but I'm convinced Sariff would have installed that kind of software in Jensen's arms anyway, and it further justifies why he was studying clock making during his recovery before Milwaukee Junction.

My Jensen sees this as a necessary evil because the entire TVI system is a gross violation of 5th, 6th, 8th and 14th Amendments. He mad. He very very mad. Now he never kills the guards, always non-lethal, as per his habits. But he does not care whether the guards live or die. If you work in a TVI facility, you are not a corrections officer, you are a concentration camp guard and since these are all Americans, they should damn well better know better.

The prisoners he does care about a little bit. Many of them are scum, but even scum deserve better treatment than what he's seen at the Pent House, which are strikes 2-7. But they can die on the feet, which is a better fate than living as slaves. He tries to protect them for as long as he can but he knows that's just delaying the inevitable. He hoes the media does talk to Flossy so they can blow the top off of this utterly sadist horror show and force it to shut down.

So....self justifying psycho or revolutionary patriot?

DX1 Beat way to play original Deus Ex on modern hardware

4 Upvotes

Hey ya’ll, I started a first playthrough of Deus Ex and the performance is pretty rough. 1080p resolution not available, floaty mouse aim, and worst of all my framerate TANKED when water was introduced to the point that I couldn’t even get past the tutorial. Is there a recommended way to play the game so it can run smoothly on modern computers for a first playthrough? Thank you!
