You need to hack Chet Wagner's computer and look at emails, then you need to confront him. Or you can confront him and use social enhancement. You might be screwed if you killed most of them

Spoiler

I hacked all of the computers in the station so I should be good there. Most of the guys on the main floor are still alive, including all of the ones in the main lobby where you enter the station. Is that where Chet is?

 

[Solo]

Chet is the douche you see first when you walk in the front door.

He's the moustached asshole standing in the lobby.

I broke him down through dialogue.

Spoiler

Chet was there in the lobby with a tablet in his hand when I entered the police station for the first time from the front. However, I left the police station after getting the chip from the corpse and hacking most of the computers except for Captain Penn. When i came back, I couldn't find Chet at all.

 

[wutwutwut]

Wait, I missed that praxis kit by the cache, I think. Can i go back to the Detroit hub later if I already moved on to Hengsha..or however it's spelled?

Yeah. The kit is easy to miss, and I only discovered it by accident.

Spoiler

It's in the sewers though, not exactly by the cache.

I wasn't expecting the wall-punching aug to be nearly as useful as it's turned out to be in my playthrough.

Thanks guys. That dude is such a tool.

Few pages back someone said they did a speed run through the main missions only and it only took them a few hours.

Dennis playing DXHR before The Wtcher 2? Tsk.

Dennis not playing the Witcher 2 is prolly just him being butthurt that he can't play it on 2560x1600 with ubersampling, so he doesn't play it at all

Love ya dennis.

I mentioned this earlier but if anyone wants a Praxis point in Hengsha, a relatively easy and amusing way is to

Spoiler

knock Bobby Bao (the bartender at The Hive) out or kill him then just loot a Praxis kit from his body.

Did that last night on a whim and wasn't quite expecting that reward.

lol that's meant to be your reward for a side quest, way to cut corners man

 

[MarshMellow96]

I'm sat here with a PS3 and 360 Augmented Edition of the game in my basket.

I really can't make a choice here. I don't care about the controller, either..

PS3 version loads faster than the 360 version if you don't install it. otherwise installed 360 version is a tad faster loading.

i'm playing PS3 version and i don't have a problem with loading times at all. it's shorter than the youtube videos i've seen. (i swapped the hard drive in my PS3 long ago but it's by no means fancy/fast)

I've read a few people say the frame rate on the PS3 really slows down in big fire fights. But Digital Foundry's comparison is not out yet.

I've actually decided to wait and get the PC version in the Christmas Steam sales. My den gets annoyingly warm while playing PC games in summer unless I really crank up the central air or have a fan blowing right in my face. Playing it in winter I can even overclock my crappy processor without the CPU temp getting too hot.

Haha well I didn't get it in mine since

Spoiler

I returned the chip to him instead of money, which he didn't appreciate. So when I got nothing from him, he got punished, and I received my just reward.

But yes don't do what I said until after that particular side quest is complete

 

[Commanche Raisin Toast]

it's also worth noting that no matter what version you get, the cutscenes are always crappy and overcompressed.

 

[Deadly]

Is there a way to play windowed?

 

[The Stig]

i noticed this

remember the time when FMVs were a million times better than the game graphics?

edit - i know old fmvs were usually not made with the game engine, so its not like for like

 

[54-46!]

How do I
- fix mouse lag? (already turned off V-sync and Triple buffering)
- use hold instead of toggle for iron sights?
- bind stuff to TAB?

Where's the cfg?

Edit: apparently in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Eidos\Deus Ex: HR\

there's nothing wrong with the quality of the cutscenes themselves, but the compression of the videos themselves is really surprising. i can understand the 360 version needing to fit on the DVD, but the PC and PS3 versions don't have an excuse. i don't think the game takes up THAT much space on the BD. [see: full PS3 titles on PSN]

 

[ctrayne]

So where are people finding this silenced sniper in the

area?

Spoiler

There is a long walkway near the beginning of the area, right after the room with the two scientists. You climb a ladder to get inside it. Walk all the way to the end of it and look around. That is where it was for me.

 

[Varna]

Wait, I missed that praxis kit by the cache, I think. Can i go back to the Detroit hub later if I already moved on to Hengsha..or however it's spelled?

Damn. Me too.

I'm missing a lot of things I think. There is so much clutter everywhere it's hard to spot items. I really want them to add a button for the item highlight.

 

[anddo0]

In Cloak and Daggers, how do you

Spoiler

get into the alley where O'Malley is? There's a corridor leading there but the floor is electrically charged.

Spoiler

-3rd floor of the police department storage vent.
-Sewers
-Pile boxes climb the fence

There isn't one. There's no mouse lag, it's an effect of your current system configuration. Also the patch fixes the mouse issues.

Edit: apparently in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Eidos\Deus Ex: HR\

No don't do this. DXHR uses windows raw input, there's no mouse acceleration or lag in the game's design.

 

[Ferrio]

-3rd floor of the police department storage vent.

Spoiler

-Dermal upgrade to run through electricity
-Jumping upgrade to jump over fence
-Uses boxes to hopscotch across electricity (someone said they did it in this thread)

 

[Commanche Raisin Toast]

well it's looking like i have no option but to start a new game. DLC won't be accessible until i start over. total bummer. only put 8 hours in (taking my time, looking around etc.) but the hacking with be a chore. at least i can undo my mistake of grabbing cloak early. :\

 

[Superimposer]

Mines/grenades etc are way too fucking loud relative to the rest of the game. One just went off and I shat myself!

 

[Desaan]

Game is nigh unplayable for me, the constant graphical stuttering is driving me crazy. Completed the warehouse level without too many issues and then actually went out into the city. Oh man, what the hell is going on is here!? Constant fps stutters all over the place, I can run backwards and forwards in a line in the same area and it does nothing but constantly hitch.

My PC specs poo all over this game and yet here I am, latest drivers for everything. Just horrible.

 

[Wallach]

Man I love the revolver noise/feedback. I sometimes just quick save and blow someone way to hear it. I haven't found anyone worthy of killing with it yet though.

The revolver is just a cool weapon all around. I love the look and feel of it, and as you mentioned, the sound. Just wait for the explosive rounds you can add to it.

 

[Akuun]

That's not the only way through.

Spoiler

You can also hack a backdoor to the alley on the second floor of the police department, I believe it's level 3.

man I love this game.

That's not the only way through.

If you

Spoiler

climb a floor above the one with that back door, you find a vent that leads to the third floor of the police department. No hacking required.

Man I love the revolver noise/feedback. I sometimes just quick save and blow someone way to hear it. I haven't found anyone worthy of killing with it yet though.

I love the revolver too, but at the moment the 10mm pistol is still far more useful to me. I hope the revolver becomes more useful later, because I really want to use it.

 

[XeroSauce]

The shotgun, once upgraded, is such a perfect weapon. It just feels right, and the impact it delivers. Perfection.

What upgrades did you use? I didn't know if I liked the burst fire mode or not.

 

[54-46!]

There isn't one. There's no mouse lag, it's an effect of your current system configuration. Also the patch fixes the mouse issues.

If there's mouse lag there's mouse lag, my PC specs shouldn't matter. Also tried setting SSAO to normal, which fixes some of it, not all.

No don't do this. DXHR uses windows raw input, there's no mouse acceleration or lag in the game's design.

Huh? Having access to the cfg means I'll be able to edit the controls/settings to whatever I want, I'd say that's a good thing.

Also, how do I disable the title logos?

 

[abunai]

So now that I'm finally playing it, I also get that strange glitch where a line always follows the terrain a few meters in front of me, not related to textures or anything. Just a line. Did we find a fix? Been avoiding the thread for a while to hide from spoilers, sorry if it's been asked a lot.

 

[Revolutionary]

Did anybody else (second trip to Hengsha spoilers)

Spoiler

save Faridah

?

Yep, with a stealth build, on the hardest difficulty. Awww yeahhh!

Felt like a total badass after that event.

Spoiler

I immediately ran and jumped on the structure to the right, and sprinted and melee'd each soldier in the area as fast as I could, without being spotted, in the span of like 30 seconds. Then I used the explosive barrels lying around and tossed them at the mech.

One of the more exhilarating moments of the game, easily.

 

[Syriel]

Figured I'd post a single mention of this.

I'm running a DXHR giveaway today for anyone who wants to snag a free copy.

It's all happening on the WorthPlaying Twitter feed.

1) Go find the PR guy at the SE booth at PAX and post a specific pic. First to do this wins.
https://twitter.com/#!/worthplaying/status/107144962205941760

2) For those not at PAX, I'll be giving away codes on the twitter feed this afternoon (Pacific Time).
https://twitter.com/#!/worthplaying/status/107149627425431552

I know most of you are playing, but if not, here's a few chances to snag a copy gratis.

And if you know anyone at PAX, tell em to go hunt down Matt and get that pic. heh.

I noticed this aswell, it's to do with the terrible AF the game engine uses. Even at x16 you can visibly see a white line on the floor 30m ahead constantly. If the floor textures are lightly coloured you barely notice it but on darker ones it's incredibly noticeable.

Yeah but I don't know what's up. I didn't kill anyone in the police station and he's still not there now. It seems that if you break in, he leaves. Not sure but that's what happened to me.

Revolver is boss. When you get explosive rounds you can shoot it at an area where there are a group of enemies and it does damage to them. I think the revolver is the best choice because with upgrades it becomes very versatile and can take down robots.

 

[Lakitu]

Right, I've been playing it for a while. It's amazing.

But one thing, my HUD has completely disappeared! Is this normal? I can't see shit, especially since I use the radar so much. Even the objective locators are missing. And I do have that one switched on via settings. Is this a bug?

Yeah, I snuck in the first time I went to the police station as well. It just sucks and I don't want to restart it. I'll just watch a playthrough of it.

Have you tried quitting and reloading the game?

 

[Lakitu]

Not to my recollection. I did sell some. Although, who knows. I may have accidentally while I've tinkered with the inventory. Would it wear off?

Have you tried quitting and reloading the game?

Just tried that... still the same.

 

[Akkad]

How do you walk around and punch random people like in the videos?
