HOWTO

Installation How To: Retail Version

This guide is written using Wine version 0.9.40.

  1. Install Wine
  2. Configure Wine. I tested using the ALSA driver.
  3. Run setup.exe. The default installation folder is C:\DeusEx. When the installer asks Select the components you wish to install, then deselect "DirectX".
  4. Download the game update and save it disk, for example to /tmp/DeusExMPPatch1112fm.exe. When the window appears click "Setup".x
  5. Launch the patch. In a terminal enter
    wine /tmp/DeusExMPPatch1112fm.exe
  6. Optional step: Remove the CD check at the start of the game, in a terminal enter
    /bin/echo -e ",s/^CdPath=.*/CdPath=..\\\\\/g\nwq" | ed -s "$HOME/.wine/drive_c/DeusEx/System/DeusEx.ini"
    The above command replaces "CdPath=D:" with "CdPath=../" in the DeusEx.ini file.
  7. Some CPUs can dynamically changes their clock speed as part of their power managment. This game was created before such CPUs existed. As a result you might experience strange gameplay speed when running the game on such processors. This is not a Wine specific bug. The best workaround is to disable dynamic clock speed and/or processor power management while you play the game. Note, simply changing the gamespeed with the "slomo" cheat is not a good solution as it will only mess up your game even more. Also, "slomo" does not work in multiplayer.
  8. Launch the game. In a terminal enter
    cd "$HOME/.wine/drive_c/DeusEx/System" && wine DeusEx.exe ; xgamma -gamma 1

Optional: The High Definition Texture Pack (HDTP) increases the graphics detail of some of the objects in the game, but some users find the using this enhancement makes the game too slow or loose audio synchronization. I suggest you play the game's introduction (from the game's main menu select "Play Intro") without this enhancement, noting how smoothly the animations play and how well synchronized the voices are to the mouths. After installing the HDTP, play the introduction again. You may notice the game is no longer smooth, and voices no longer synchronized. To uninstall the HDTP, you must completely uninstall the game, then re-install the game without the HDTP.

  1. Launch the game at least once before installing the HDTP.
  2. Download the HDTP and save it disk, for example to /tmp/HDTP-Release1.exe
  3. Launch the update. In a terminal enter
    wine /tmp/HDTP-Release1.exe
  4. Optional step: Remove the CD check at the start of a HDTP game, in a terminal enter
    /bin/echo -e ",s/^CdPath=.*/CdPath=..\\\\\/g\nwq" | ed -s "$HOME/.wine/drive_c/DeusEx/System/HDTP.ini"
    The above command replaces "CdPath=D:" with "CdPath=../" in the HDTP.ini file.
  5. Launch a HDTP game. In a terminal enter
    cd "$HOME/.wine/drive_c/DeusEx/System" && wine HDTP.exe QINI=C:/deusex/system/hdtp.ini USERINI=C:/deusex/system/hdtpuser.ini ; xgamma -gamma 1

Optional: Use the enhanced OpenGL render. This renderer contains a number of optimizations that should improve performance over the base UT 4.36 OpenGL renderer. It also contains a number of new options configurable in the [OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice] section of your UnrealTournament.ini file. This renderer is not well tested. If you use this OpenGL renderer and test it against the default Direct3D renderer, please post your results below. To install

  1. Download the udate and save it disk, for example to /tmp/dxglr18.zip
  2. In a terminal enter
    unzip -x /tmp/dxglr18.zip
  3. In a terminal enter
    mv "$HOME/.wine/drive_c/DeusEx/System/OpenGLDrv.dll" "$HOME/.wine/drive_c/DeusEx/System/OpenGLDrv.dll.original" && mv /tmp/OpenGLDrv.dll "$HOME/.wine/drive_c/DeusEx/System"
  4. Configure the game to use this renderer. In a terminal enter
    touch "$HOME/.wine/drive_c/DeusEx/System/Running.ini
    Then start the game.
  5. A "Deus Ex Recovery Mode" window will appear. Click "Change your 3D video device". Select the radio button "Show all devices". Select "OpenGL Support". Click "Next", then "Next" again, then "Run".
  6. If the game does not render properly in full screen mode, try running the game in a Wine desktop window.
    • If you are not using the HDTP, in a terminal enter:
      cd "$HOME/.wine/drive_c/DeusEx/System" && wine explorer /desktop=Deus_Ex,1024x768 DeusEx.exe ; xgamma -gamma 1
    • If you are using the HDTP, in a terminal enter:
      cd "$HOME/.wine/drive_c/DeusEx/System" && wine explorer /desktop=Deus_Ex,1024x768 HDTP.exe QINI=C:/deusex/system/hdtp.ini USERINI=C:/deusex/system/hdtpuser.ini ; xgamma -gamma 1

 
Warning

Using FBO as the ORM crashes with fglrx drivers

This is not a Wine bug, it is a fglrx bug.  Please do not open a bug for this, it will just be closed.

Framerate limiting...
by Charles Huber on Saturday January 23rd 2010, 16:38
When using the new OpenGL plugin, changing the following option seems to help far more with evening out the in-game framerate than altering the CPU frequency scaling or processor affinity (taskset/schedtool):

In DeusEx.ini:
[OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice]
...
FrameRateLimit=60
...


If you want to show your current framerate, just hit 't' in-game and erase the "Say". Then enter "stat fps".

1.1.23 breaks Deus-Ex
by Plüss Roland on Sunday June 14th 2009, 10:04
When you try to start the game a fatal engine error happens ( general protection fault ). The logs tell nothing except the failure happening somewhere in the UWindowsClient or alike class. It doesn't matter which which graphic driver I try it always crashes at this point.

Downgrading to 1.1.22 makes the game working again.

Can't fix the run too fast cpu scaling problem
by luke on Monday June 23rd 2008, 21:08
I tried stopping powernowd to disable cpu scaling (I don't even think that is doing anything, as it says that cpu scaling is not supported when I start it back up again) as stated in the cedega link in the wine how-to, and I tried using schedtool to set the affinity to only one cpu core, neither of which worked. Does anyone know of any other ways to stop the game from speeding up? Also, what is the command (using "talk" to get to the console) to show fps?

I have an amdx2 5k+

Segmentation Fault
by Egon Boiffard on Friday June 6th 2008, 4:06
I'm trying to run Deus Ex under Wine 1.0-rc3 (amd64) and it works good with no graphics acceleration. But when I try to activate the OpenGL it crashes (Segmentation Fault) just a second after it loads the splash screen, and it shows no info at all. The latest Nvidia property drivers are installed and running.

I'm using Ubuntu Studio 8.04. (Could be the real time (rt) kernel the problem?) I've tried downgrading to Wine 1.0-rc1 and it's the same.

Could anyone help? Thank you very much.

Deus Ex fails to work at all with 0.9.54
by Samir Benahmed on Saturday January 26th 2008, 9:35
I've tried running the game on OpenSUSE 10.3 x86 with 0.9.54 and with every renderer the game fails to load and I get a General Protection Fault. Any ideas on this would be greatly appreciated.

patch link
by dylan deziel on Saturday December 22nd 2007, 18:55
The download link should be changed to something that doesn't require registration, something like :

Thank you for the suggestion, but it's even worse with 0.9.50. Now I get a general protection fault upon launch, when it looks for 3D drivers...

General Protection Fault
by Nicholas Lee on Friday November 2nd 2007, 13:50
Gutsy with .46 here.

DX runs fine for a limited time. It crashes with a "General Protection Fault" error. I'm going to try re-installing DX.

Color depth is changed when game starts
by Skiski on Monday September 24th 2007, 15:13
Hi,

The game runs pretty well, but when I lauch it, the color of the screen change, like if it only had 256 colors.

Once I quite the game, if I use Direct3D, the colors stay that way and I have to lauch nvidia-settings to make them "normal".
If I use opengl, everything comes back after the game exit, but wine produce the following "critical error" in the "windows desktop":
Asserted failed: wglDeleteContext(m_hRC)[File:\OpenGL.cpp][Line:2562]

History: UOpenGLRenderDevice::UnsetRes

Saving a game
by D4rky on Sunday September 16th 2007, 7:50
While trying to save a game, everything glitches and there's no way to come back to the system (except Alt+SysRQ+E of course). It also happened once while trying to run RedSun 2020 mod, but I dunno if this is happening more often (I gave up after trying to save)

Dealing with SafeDisc
by Jack on Monday June 18th 2007, 16:02
This doesn't completely remove the CD-checking, but it does make it something that Wine can handle (as opposed to SafeDisc). Download the 1.112fm multiplayer patch, run it and install it. I found that the patch applied even though I should've had the most recent version to begin with and the new version had a CD check wine could deal with.

Deux Ex upon starting renders the screen completely black
by Gian Paolo Mureddu on Monday April 2nd 2007, 20:42
I don't know what might be happening, but upon launching Deus Ex (and it doesn't matter if it is in a WineDesktop window or fullscreen) the screen goes completely black and even though exiting the game blindly (pressing esc, press up enter and enter again, so the game exits) the screen remains black. Ctr+C on the console the game was launched from only returns the mouse pointer, nothing more on the screen is visible, I can "return" my screen to normal when running nvidia-settings (again blindly) from the command line the game was launched from.

System:

Fedora Core 6 x86_64

kernel 2.6.20 stock.

NVIDIA driver 1.0-9755

Wine version 0.9.32 (latest Fedora release)

This problem has been happening for some time now, and I have been unable to pinpoint the reason why this is so. Other games run just fine and have no apparent problems. Any suggestions?

Works fine - Edgy + wine 0.9.30
by frogzoo on Saturday February 3rd 2007, 3:38
A few gotchas:

Select OpenGL as renderer (note: game defaults to DirectX).

Patch the game to 1.112f or OpenGL won't run.

If you use Gnome, and have panels set to autohide if the keyboard won't work in game, disable the panel's autohide function.

"Microsoft Visual C++ runtime error"
by Gian Paolo Mureddu on Sunday September 17th 2006, 4:17
I get a window with this title after starting the game and just before the "DE" logo appears. The music keeps playing, but the animation stops. This happens with the OpenGL renderer. I have not yet tried the D3D renderer yet. nvidia graphics with latest driver and latets stable Fedora kernel.

Wine 0.9.20, Fedora Core x86_64, DeusEx with latest patch. Help?

I'll provide more details as time permits.

My "success'
by jeff on Tuesday June 20th 2006, 16:27
The game installs and plays, including mouse control, but no fullscreen.

The biggest problem is that the game tends to disconnect from the controls at random times. There are no specific movements, or keypresses that trigger the bug, it just happens randomly (anywhere from about 3 seconds after loading a saved game to an hour or more). The only way to "fix" it is to kill the game/wine.

Also there's a wierd bug where starting the game makes the rest of my screen brighter, which happens with other games, in Linux and Windows, but here, it doesn't go away after closing the game.

Wine version 0.9.15, Ubuntu 6.06, Athalon 64 and a Geforce 7900gt with the nvidia drivers.
