Deus Ex: Human Revolution

Deus Ex: Human Revolution - final update.

Version 1.4.651.0 released by Eidos Montreal, on 23 May, 2012.

The latest and final patch for DXHR.

Partial changelog for this patch:

Some players accounted a problem where the Tai Young Medical shuttle in Hengsha would not arrive. This has been resolved.
- Existing save-games can be loaded and continued from normally, the shuttle will now arrive.
We have provided a workaround for stability and performance issues on AMD FX CPUs with specific firmware versions.
We have made further changes to reduce stuttering in the game.
- Improvements to background streaming of resources (DirectX 11 only).
- Workarounds have been added for issues that can happen with Windows asynchronous file IO.
- We have improved parallelism with the graphics driver on dual-core machines. (This should also benefit machines with more cores.)
SSAO has been improved to look less noisy.
Various minor issues with 3DVision have been resolved.

HowTo / Notes

Known Issues

DirectX 11 Support

As of Wine version 1.7.53(+) there are tests enabled to see if your graphics hardware supports DirectX 11... Unfortunately a significant amount of the DirectX 11 translation layer has still to be implemented in Wine.

On supported hardware, Deus Ex: Human Revolution – Director's Cut will start in DirectX 11 mode. The menus will display correctly (some dialogue boxes may appear to be undersized??) In game there will be a lot of graphical corruption and missing textures.

The workaround is to disable support for the DirectX Graphics Infrastructure (DXGI) in Wine:

wine reg.exe ADD "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\AppDefaults\DXHRDC.exe\DllOverrides" "/v" "dxgi" "/t" "REG_SZ" "/d" ""

Graphical Corruption

Wine, by default, does DirectX draw calls in a different order from Deus Ex: Human Revolution – Director's Cut running under Windows.

The workaround is to enable strict draw ordering (via a registry key):

wine reg.exe ADD "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\AppDefaults\DXHRDC.exe\Direct3D" "/v" "StrictDrawOrdering" "/t" "REG_SZ" "/d" "enabled"

In addition the AlwaysOffscreen registry setting is enabled by default (since wine version: 1.5.10). It is important that this registry setting should be left enabled.

Mouse Escapes Window (Wine Virtual Desktop mode)

The symptom of this problem is that when Deus Ex: Human Revolution – Director's Cut is run in a Wine Virtual Desktop the mouse can escape from the fullscreen game window.

The workaround is to enable the grab mouse in full screen mode setting (via a registry key):

wine reg.exe ADD "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\X11 Driver" "/v" "GrabFullscreen" "/t" "REG_SZ" "/d" "Y" /f

This is a workaround introduced by Wine Bug 6971 - Mouse "escapes" window or is confined to an area in the full screen program.

Incorrect DPI Scaling of Elements

The symptom of this issue is that all UI popup elements, the in-game HUD, etc. are scaled to an inappropriately small size. This appears to manifest on a single-head X session with multiple monitors, combined into a single X display.

The only known workaround is to use a Wine Virtual Desktop. The issue is to be investigated further as no Wine bugs appear to be filed against it.

In-game stuttering and generally low FPS

Enabling StrictDrawOrdering leads to a high price in game performance. It is recommended, certainly for Nvidia GPU users (using the proprietary driver), to use the Wine Staging CMST patchset available in the Wine Staging package. AMD GPU users who are using Gallium Nine may not require or benefit from this patchset.

This unstable feature can be enabled in the Staging tab of the winecfg utility. Regressions (crashes, graphical artifacts, etc.) should be reported at the WineHQ Bugzilla - stating that the Wine Staging patchset was used.

Test Submissions ... how to avoid a rejection notice!!

These notes were last updated: 28 November 2017

Follow these guidelines to avoid embarrassment when your Test Submission is immediately rejected!!

Put your PC specifications in the Extra Comments section e.g. like your CPU and system memory.¹
When adding test results please specify video card and driver version you are using.²
It's also useful to mention what Desktop Environment you are using (e.g. KDE/Plasma, Gnome, Xfce, Budgie, Mate, Cinnamon, ...)
Specify if you installed the Deus Ex: Human Revolution into a fresh Wineprefix (or not).
Specify what version of the Windows compatibility you use for your Wineprefix (e.g. Windows XP, Windows 7). Specify if you override this for the Deus Ex: Human Revolution executable.
Specify whether you installed into a 32-bit or a 64-bit Wineprefix.
Add detailed comments about what is not working for you.
Please indicate if your using Wine Staging and/or any additional patches applied - to the version of Wine you are using.
Please, don't submit test results like "Everything is working" or "Everything isn't working".

These guidelines ensure your submitted test results are actually relevant to other users of Wine and WineHQ.

1 The console version of the lshw utility is your friend. This command will dump your System hardware specification in a clean format. Post command and output in the Extra Comments section:

sudo lshw -short | egrep -v '(volume|disk|bus)'

²glxinfo can be used to display your OpenGL and graphics driver versions. Post the command and output in the Extra Comments section:

glxinfo | egrep '^[[:alpha:]]'

VSync issue was with Gallium Nine
by YaoMitachi on Wednesday February 21st 2018, 22:55

With Gallium Nine disabled, VSync works fine. Though I wouldn't recommend VSync unless you have a really good card, better than my RX 580. I need a buffer for the framerate drops.
