Deus Ex: Mankind Divided |OT| We Asked For This

Nah, sometimes they get you the moment you leave the train, before you even regain control.

if you follow the aug lines and you step on the aug train wagon they will never harass you. It happened to me a few times before realizing I was not following the rules :D

Just follow the aug signs and they'll let you be.

Anyone can explain this to me? Its kinda bugging me. :)

Yeah I've had that happen several times and I don't get it either. I think it was similar in HR where if you were too close to someone when firing a weapon and even though the weapon is silenced you were detected.
 
Can somebody explain to me why when I am fully cloaked and in front of an enemy and I do a headshot with a silenced weapon, everyone who is in proximity (but who is not in my line of sight) becomes alerted??

I just tested this and it seems okay?

1. When you fire a weapon, cloak turns off. Very brief time penalty before you can turn it on again.

2. If other enemies see the guy get shot, they will go into alert (if they see you) or searching (if they don't). I think if they're already searching, it would go to Hostile [Threat Lost]. But you would need an object or wall to block line of sight because of point #1.

3. Enemies will turn to disturbances, like corpses falling to the ground, missed shots hitting the wall, or you moving at a non slow rate (like, not using the silencer aug to quiet your movements)

But if you just fire at someone looking right at you, while cloaked, and there's nobody nearby, it doesn't affect the current state as far as I see?

That's crazy, lol. I never even realized that. I just walked up to a board and picked my stop. I love this game.

Yep, the aug train is sectioned off on the right with a cage and stuff.

you'll also notice there is 90% less awkward normies staring at you when you take the aug train
 
It is playable. When in missions framerate is very consistent, almost 30 fps lock.

When roaming certain parts of the HUB its not the framerate that cant cope, its more to do with the engine streaming not being able to keep up. Once assets load game runs smooth again.

It is annoying though, but nothing unplayable... like I said its only when you roam the streets of the HUB.

So it's functional without the day 1 patch?
 
Ugh, I'm salty. Apparently I missed out on Side Mission 9 simply because
I snuck into the casino and stole the capacitor rather than talk to the guy in charge. Wtf? The mission specifically told me to sneak in and steal it!
I see in a video that following the SM04's waypoint takes you directly to the 'conversation battle', but the problem is that I don't have waypoints enabled. That's some shit game design.
I was doing perfectly without a guide or any help of any kind up until this moment. Was looking forward to eventually infiltrating the
the Dvali compound
but apparently now there's no real reason to do so. Salty as fuck.

Is there a way to set a waypoint on the map? That, and the fact that you can't skip one line of dialog at a time are my two biggest non-performance gripes right now.

I hope I made the right decision? I'm doing a pacifist run
and got Talos Rucker to give me his evidence. I decided to hold on to it to give to Alex Vega. I'm not too sure about Miller. He may not be corrupt, but I know he's answering to bad people.The main question I have now, is Janus and the Juggernaut group bad as well? I know very little about them so far (even though I'm a semi double agent for them).
 
So did they fixed the crash bug yet with a patch?
I'm still trying to take it slowly but I'm about to do M13 and subsequently M14, I don't want a bugged save file D:

You can use bodies to move heavy objects if you don't have the augment yet. Just drag a body next to the heavy item and it will move them. It may take a few tries.

2nd playthrough done. This time without doing any Side Missions (non-lethal) and "Foxiest of the Hounds" still didn't pop. Don't get it.

Would be really really nice, if there was a stat screen in the actual game, so it shows you if and when you triggered an alarm on your current playthrough. I just don't understand where it happened, because I basically used Active Camo to bypass any area with the 30+ Biocells I had.

I also want to mention that "For Mankind" by Misha "Bulb" Mansoor is an crazy awesome track. Could listen to it all day. Have been listening to Misha's music since he did tracks for The Master Chief Collection. Love it.

In this thread people mentioned some achievements being bugged

Don't know if it's that achievement though
 
Fuck. Patch didn't do shit to fix my game. Still can't talk to people. High jump doesn't work. Side mission 00 still broken.

PS4 version seems to have the most issues. Fuck this game :(
 
Is there a tranq pistol anywhere in the game? I've been tranqing people with the rifle but it's annoying since it zooms in so much. Need a closer range gun. I'm still in the first Prague hub if that helps.

The vendor who sells hacking software also sells a stun gun.

The range on it is remarkably limited though, so be sure to try it out before selling your tranq rifle.

You should have picked stun gun. Fortunately it shows up fairly early in a store

Eh, it's still good enough. Plus it stops an enemy faster than bullets. 1 hit and done. If you're playing stealthy, not gonna be much of an issue. :p

Worst case scenario, throw a box near them and wait for them to get closer to investigate!

I think I emptied a few rooms with 3-4 guards just by doing Throw box near door -> wait for one guard to investigate -> Knockback -> Grab body to take them away -> Rinse and repeat. :D

Wow, so there's no tranq pistol? That's surprising.

Stun gun is basically a tranq pistol. I mean, it puts enemies to sleep just like the tranq sniper rifle.
 
This has me concerned. It will take me 99+ hours to download the day 1 patch.

Actually, it was the previous patch that CAUSED my issues. Before I downloaded v1.02, I could talk to people and high jump worked fine. I had several save files and they ALL are like this. The side mission was broken before i downloaded the patch, but I could have lived with that. But not being able to use two of the games main features feels worthless to continue now.

There is a stun gun. When you first go see Koller, in the office before the elevator, the same wall as the double doors when you're looking at them it's to the left behind a framed picture on a ledge really high up.

Question pacifist run. I'm still pretty early and I went to retrieve the evidence in the subway tunnel. I had to knock out 2 guards (1 with stun gun). When I got back to TF29 they were talking about how I raised hell or something. Was this just the state police exaggerating or does everyone think I'm a maniac for knocking out 2 ppl?

I suppose but you got to be up close with that compared to a pistol.

Thanks! I'll check out.

It's a bug. They're only supposed to say that for when you go loud.
You monster. :p

I've put everyone to sleep in that section. Spared no one so I could freely explore and loot everything I could.

When I came back, Miller said people called it "a bloodbath" or something, while some newspaper called me a terrorist.

I mean really? I just knocked them out!

Yea, it was really frustrating :lol

I hope it doesn't count against us.

FYI, I still got the pacifist achievement when I completed the game. It's just something the devs missed(I mean... how?) while writing lines.

Speaking of which, (end game spoiler)
I fought the last boss entirely with my Tranq rifle, got the pacifist achievement, yet later Alex said he was dead? Another thing the devs missed? I'm pretty sure you can't kill someone with a Tranq rifle, even if you shoot him 50 times lol.

That makes no sense, but maybe they only let your have him
"Knocked out" with a melee
takedown?

Idk

You can do that? So much time wasted lol. Not to mention those
annoying drones I always had to remote hacked or temporarily disable with EMP grenades.

Same here, man! It's been forcing me to use takedowns more often than I'd prefer, but it's saving me ammo. Tranquilizer ammo is hard to come by! I've only come across 5-6 boxes of it while exploring Prague.

You should have picked stun gun. Fortunately it shows up fairly early in a store

Was there even an option to choose between stun gun and tranquilizer during the Dubai mission? Must of overlooked the option to choose between the two. I remember it only giving you a lethal (firearm) or nonlethal (tranquilizer) option.

Anyways, the game is awesome so far. The IP has really improved its cover mechanics, and looks absolutely gorgeous aside from the sharpening effect.

I also want to mention that "For Mankind" by Misha "Bulb" Mansoor is an crazy awesome track. Could listen to it all day. Have been listening to Misha's music since he did tracks for The Master Chief Collection. Love it.

When I heard that music I loved it and thought, "this sounds like Misha made it!"
To find out he did makes me happy, he's part of my favourite band and has contributed music to my favourite games.

Edit: Link already posted by another person with great taste in music:
It it fantastic. I've been listening to it non-stop for the past three days.

The more I play this game the more I love it. It feels like a masterpiece.

I'm completing missions without killing anyone and I'm constantly finding alternate routes to the objective. The story is intriguing but I feel the side missions are where the game really shines because they go a long way towards fleshing out the oppressive society in which Adam finds himself in. Neon Nights is a stand out mission in my opinion. It's a mission that plays out like a full on detective story.

I think I'm almost done with the game. I'm going to be sad to see it end and I'm even sadder that the game hasn't gotten any real hype.

For all the talk about games being progressive and striving to be more intelligent, it's a damn shame Deus Ex comes out and the mainstream game critics don't even want to give it attention. Deus Ex feels like the kind of game culture critics asked for but I'm barely seeing any thing being said about it other than "it's decent". They would rather talk about NMS's bullshit.

This industry is a joke.

If I had known there was going to be a stun gun at the first merchant I found, I would have started with a tranq rifle. Now I can't find a tranq rifle to save my life.
