What works
Everything not mentioned below.
What does not
Cannot change the in-game Gamma setting. On my machine, the default levels were too dark to make much out after the initial menu screen and cinematic. However, simply changing my monitor settings or my video driver settings changed the problem.
There seems to be a lot of slowdown under the Direct3D video setting.

Runs better under WINE then it does under my copy of Windows XP!

Out-of-the box the stock OpenGL renderer will generate a segmentation fault:
This BASH script will fix the DeusEx.ini file settings to correct this. Note it is recommended to use the newer OpenGL renderer (which is significantly better)

It also allows easy mod loading, which is lovely :D
Just dump all the files from the archive into your Deus Ex/System directory, and make sure DeusEx.exe has been replaced by the one from the archive. Sowted, san.

Deus Ex runs just fine but... the screen seems to be flipped.
These 2 are actual screenshot from the game (taken using the * key) : i50.tinypic.com/bgbked.jpg & i49.tinypic.com/aetl3o.jpg
But what I really see is this: i45.tinypic.com/2wc4lyb.jpg & i45.tinypic.com/96ap1g.jpg
I'm running Ubuntu 12.04, my video card is an (OLD!) GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 with NVIDIA Video Driver 304.51.
I hope I've provided enough info so someone can help me.

I've got a problem adjusting the brightness on a Mac running DeusEx in Wine - it doesn't work from within the game and the system brightness is already maxed out. The xgamma doesn't do it either. I've looked around and found the tip:
www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/browse/?app_id=57;tips=1
but it doesn't work for me (I'm not running crossover). Is there anything similar i could do?
Thanks in advance for any help!
by doh123 on Sunday August 28th 2011, 18:52
Codeweavers will work, they have a custom X server
Xquartz and all other X11 builds for Mac OS X do not have the proper extensions to handle gamma correction in any game.

However, the voices were not fluent and sometimes cut off.
Setting `Latency` from 40 to 80 in the `Galaxy.GalaxyAudioSubsystem` section in `System/DeusEx.ini` solved the problem for me.

Experiances.
1. If I just simply run it on Wine (1.3 is the current one), the screen flashes, and I can't do a damn thing. As -for some wierd reasons- there is no alt+ctrl+del or something alike in Ubuntu, and -for some even more wierd reasons- there is no reset on my laptop, the only solution is turn it off/on.
2. If I run it Wine, but turn of the option that lets it control windows (in graphic tab), the screen is oke, and the game starts. But cant control it, because pushed keyboard buttons doesn't work in it. Intead it works outside of it. (For example, in one of my opened windows)
3. If I use alt+tab it sometimes crashes
4. If I use it in window mode, and on high resolution it crashes.
5. If I use it in window mode, but on low resolution (640*480 or 800*600), it works and if I continually push alt+tab I can move out the cursor, and turn off 'the control of windows' in Wine, than release alt+tab, and move the coursor back to the game it works. Finally it works. But...
6. If the game crashes, the nex time it starts it gives me a menü to change thing like graphics settings.
a.) Now, if I choose 'Direct rendering', the graphics is corrupted, and -in time- it will become ridiculously slow.
b.) If I choose software rendering, grapshics will be corrupted, though speed looks ok.
c.) Anything else will crash the game.
7. During the -now working- game If I alt+tab, and move the cursor out (for example to answer a massage in Pidgin), and move it back to play, many of the keyboard keys don't work. (I press "I" for Inventory and nothing happenes, etc.) But Esc does bring on the Menu, and going 'Back to the game' keys start working again.
Thats all folks!

Always useful trick to have for many purposes - not only games.
Not experienced the other issues.

1) The application didn't work in xmonad, tiling window manager. Solved this by running other WM (fluxbox) on second X server.
2) Encoutered the shifted-screen issue on 1024x768 resolution described somewhere above. Solved by unchecking "Allow the window manager to control windows" option in winecfg.
3) Sometimes, sound stopped to work and I had to exit and re-run the game (pretty annoying). This can be apparently fixed by setting "DirectSound Hardware acceleration" option in winecfg to "Emulation". This occasionaly produces minor sound glitches, but still much better than having to restart the game every once in a while.
With this configuration, the game runs great (well, twice it locked up the computer so that i had to reboot it, but i'm not sure wine is to blame here). The only thing that does not work I think are the small screenshots displayed in the "load game" menu.

I'm running Deus Ex on lucid, latest wine and an ATI gfx card with fgrlx.
I had the problem of cut-off voices/speach, and the schedtool fix wasn't working. Apparently the fps varied too much, jumping between 120 and up, bringing the voice and speed of the game out of sync. What helped was limiting the fps with FrameRateLimit=x in the DeusEx.ini file in the appropriate section (OpenGL for instance). However, this command only works with the updated opengl libraries which you can get from www.cwdohnal.com/utglr/ .
His new DirectDraw didn't work for me, probably related to fgrlx. dxglr19 gives me a black screen, but dxglr20 works perfectly! Limit your framerate to whatever you want. You can check whether it works by typing stat fps in the console, which you can bring up by binding a key to 'talk' in the User.ini file (for instance T=talk). Remember to remove Say before giving any console commands.
by Aaron Bianchi on Tuesday April 27th 2010, 18:36
Make sure you have "schedtool" installed first then run this command
schedtool -a 0 -e wine "/path/to/deusex.exe"
And voila no more skipping. Have fun!

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".

Downgrading to 1.1.22 makes the game working again.
by Hans Tovetjärn on Friday September 4th 2009, 9:59
I try to launch it from the terminal, but it exits at once without any information. Is this related to bug #219? Should this be reported as not working (garbage)? I'm new to this. :-)

Also, when it does speed up, it's never very consistent. It only goes fast when I am looking at a corner of a room, but never really when I look at people from far away or when there is a lot of objects on screen.

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":

Are you over clocking your CPU?
Does Ctrl+Alt+F1 give you a virtual console?
by everett on Sunday December 2nd 2007, 22:06
Game runs fine (installed following the instructions above) using wine 0.9.46... until I try to save.
I'm not overclocking my (Core 2 Duo) CPU.
I *can* get a virtual console, at which time htop shows me that there are three DeusEx.exe processes running, one of which is using 100% of my CPU.

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.

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.
