Yeah this is pointless. 10 crashes in two hours. Fuck this game.
Updated drivers, running in low/ med/ high made no difference.
Will format next week, hopefully by then the game is patched some more.

 

[JambiBum]

Wasn't there supposed to be some sort of news related to Deus Ex on the 29th? Whatever happened to that?

10/11pm (UK time) if I'm not mistaken.

 

[stuminus3]

I get that, but at the same time, this game is set in the time when all of the augmentation is just starting to happen. Of course that's what people are going to be talking about. This is a huge shift in human development.

Deus Ex is set 30 years after HR, so it makes sense that people aren't talking about that anymore. It's been settled (for better or worse, which the game explores). And IW is set 50 years after HR, so even moreso.

I understand what you mean about augmentation being a hot topic during the time HR takes place, but I didn't mean that DX and IW didn't have people constantly talking about augmentation, I meant that they were far more transparent in their respective themes than HR is (again, especially IW, which for better or worse largely lets you decide for yourself what the theme even is).

 

[syllogism]

Just try to sneak up to the targets while they're talking, if they are. Usually they leave on different routes after they finish talking, and you'll miss out on the dual takedown.

End of the game screenshot:

I finished with about 2k more XP, and that's with a few missing ghost bonuses because I stopped caring. You must have missed a few praxis points somewhere as I ended up with 3 more.

 

[Ruuppa]

where can i keep my items when i don't wanna take them with me?

Drop them on the floor of a hub and pray they don't disappear. There's no containers to keep them in, so that's the only way to store items.

They do have pretty good longevity in that regard, though.

Spoiler

I left some guns lying about in the DRB territory, and on my second visit to Detroit, they were still there.

On Dx11? Try just turning that off or upping the voltage with afterburner or similar, apparently a voltage problem with 560/570/580 cards on dx11.

Do you even need to pray in this game? It seems like it remembers literally everything, I haven't see a case of vanishing items(or see any posts about it).

 

[Boombloxer]

I feel sorry for those that didn't stealth the police station. You really missed out.

I feel awesome when doing stealth. I guess it's down the the person playing.

I've only played the first boss but had no issue with my stealth focus. Just make sure you have a pistol and a few grenades.

I don't get those saying bosses are tough. They're not (at least the first).

The bosses are kinda tough until you realize to use everything around you.

This is very much a thinking man's game. I tend to think "How can I shoot him in the face without alerting his friend?" but that's because I enjoy shooting people.

The exploration is great, and so is the hacking. It would be great if there was an iPhone version of the hacking game that connected to your save game, but no dice.

I just defeat him. For me it was more like:

EMP grenade

6 Revolver shots to the head

6 Revolver shots to the head

...

BTW. How do you disable mines? When I try to get close they explode. Do I need to have cloak for this? Because so far I am playing stealthy and hacking and havn't gotten cloak. It is a challange though.

 

[erpg]

Crouch + Walk, for complete silence.

 

[angular graphics]

Crouch-walk to them and press E (or whatever the action key is on the gamepad).

 

[Deadbeat]

Good to know. Ima do that next time. I was trying to do it like Deus Ex and just run up and tap the button before it blows.

 

[Speedymanic]

Thanks guys.

Good to know. Ima do that next time. I was trying to do it like Deus Ex and just run up and tap the button before it blows.

Yup, I was doing the exact same thing. Force of habit, I guess.

 

[Deleted member 17706]

Holy shit, there's a walk button? Haha, I had no idea you could disarm those explosives.

 

[Corky]

So does dx11 actually add anything? I can't say I see the tessellation in effect.

Emp nades proper fuck it up.

 

[Dipper145]

Just did what I assume was the 2nd boss in

Spoiler

montreal

, and the boss got stuck on a corner charging me, so i was unable to unload clips of the heavy machine gun into it and just win, I feel like I cheated, but that's what happened the first time fighting that boss so I don't feel too bad.

 

[Commanche Raisin Toast]

when i approach mines (crouching) they explode as soon as they detect me. O__O

Spoiler

it was a boobie-trapped room in an apartment building. there are 2 mines placed on the walls. one right inside the door and the other across the room from the door. they both simultaneously exploded when i entered the room.

i ended up just shooting at them from a distance and then entering. :\

 

[Ruuppa]

I always resorted to throwing junk at mines, since they always exploded when I tried to get close.

 

[ctrayne]

You have to crouch and walk. Uber-slow movement. Works every time.

 

[MNC]

Okay this is pretty fucking frustrating. I've been getting game lockups multiple times during FMV cutscenes.

 

[Trevelyon]

Dammit, just wiped two hours of progression off my game. Screwed up the Doctrine trophy

Spoiler

didn't realize Tong's office is completely inaccessible outside of that one instance where you meet him at the bar and he allows you down to his office.

Originally went through the vents and inadvertently killed that chance with the Van Bruggen cutscene, unbeknownst to myself. Considering all the Lvl. 5 security panels in Hive, I thought one was sure to lead in some way to his office, but no, his door is office is basically locked hard, so I wasted time building up Aug points for higher level panel hacks.

But I had one save of many just early enough to put me right where I needed to be to fix it.

 

[Sinatar]

Son of a bitch, I tried the DX1 method of disarming them and blew myself to pieces and just assumed you couldn't do it.

 

[Deleted member 17706]

The use of tessellation in this game, just like the use of SSAO, is very subtle. It's mainly used to round out character silhouettes.

Tessellation on:

 

[DTKT]

His eyes are freaking me out.

Though, I really can't see the difference between the two screenshots.

 

[MNC]

Look at his helmet.

Did not experience a single crash in my 40 hour playthrough. Alt+tab worked fine too.

 

[Danne-Danger]

Look at the shoulders and the top of the helmet.

Look at the edges on his silhouette. It's much more rounded when tessellation is turned on.

 

[Sinatar]

Specifically the top of his helmet.

Go slowly.

 

[LordPhoque]

So how do you beat the first boss with a stealth build and only a shotgun with two cartridges ? :/

 

[Corky]

The use of tessellation...

I see, thank you, that's quite the subtle difference. Given this fact, does anybody know how to force external AA in deus ex hr with inspector?

I've used all three of these :

But none of them seem to work for me, also worth pointing out is that these settings were from the days of the leak, so I don't know if somehow the AA bits have suddenly changed for retail. Nonetheless it would be very nice if someone could find a way to force SGSSAA.

 

[darkpaladinmfc]

Throw explosive barrels at him, aim for his body, because they have a weird arc that tends to go higher than your reticule.

 

[RoboPlato]

Do you have any frag grenades? 3 of those and a few bullets will drop him fast.

 

[Recarpo]

Funny video that I saw posted on Joystiq. Too bad they didn't show the emails talking about the mirror...

Mock if old.

[Kazzy]

Is that your only weapon? Or you only offensive one? If you have the stun gun you can just render him useless as he gets stuck in a loop if you just keep shooting him, repeat until he the fight ends. That takes around a minute or so, at least it does on Hard.

 

[33-Hit-Combo]

Question about a Hengsha side quest when you return to it...

Spoiler

Can you talk the merc out of it?

 

[Tokubetsu]

This second boss fight is making me want to not even play.

 

[BackwardsSuggestions]

Haven't played a game with an atmosphere I've enjoyed this much since Bioshock!

I suck at stealth though so keep getting my arse handed to me.

 

[SirButterstick]

For those having problems disabling mines on the PC version . . . Click off Caps Lock. Caps Lock toggles between 'run' and 'walk'. Do this, and crouch towards the mines. I didn't discover this until the end. Just in time for my second playthrough

 

[bathala]

Crouch + Walk, for complete silence.

I just learned about this now after finishing the game last night. LOL

I just let it blow up

 

[Aselith]

So how do you beat the first boss with a stealth build and only a shotgun with two cartridges ? :/

There's guns and ammi in the room. Look in the side rooms and on crates at the walls. Bunches of shotgun ammo too.

 

[I NEED SCISSORS]

I'm on to China now - but I think I missed a few things in Detroit. Can I go back at some point or have I lost them forever?

 

[JambiBum]

I've already beaten it once, but doing my second playthrough, can someone tell me where the Talion A.D. quest is in china? I missed it my first time.

 

[Recarpo]

This second boss fight is making me want to not even play.

I've tried this two times and the same thing happened both times. One PEPS shot and the boss didn't move or shoot at me the rest of the fight. Don't know if other people have had the same effect, but it's worth a shot.

 

[54-46!]

Any help or links for the second boss fight?

Spoiler

She

keeps kicking my ass.

I just waited in the middle til she came at me, when she is 3m~ away I start running toward her, she discharges, I turn around and shoot - repeat.
