Deus Ex crashes with the newest OpenGL renderer

Postby Dex » Mon Jul 28, 08 8:57 pm

I have downloaded and installed the newest OpenGL renderer (beta version) and enabled some of the beta functions.

I made a map and put some Derek's weapons in it to test my graphics. I can pickup those weapons normally. If I try to put them in my hand, (f.e. if the M16 was in slot "3", and if I pressed 3), the game crashes and I get the following error:

Some weapons, thou, not a-lot, work without any crashing:

(Screenshot messes up the graphics, better in-game)

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Do the weapons work utilizing DirectX as well?

Yes they do.

This seems to be a problem due to the beta functions of the renderer. I've disabled them and it works.

Should I use D3D9 or OpenGL for the best quality in graphics?

I would say OpenGL.

Find a line that says LODBias= extending [OpenGL.drv] or something along those lines in DeusEx.ini and change it to -1.

Then play Deus Ex in the highest quality settings (change the graphic settings in-game, in the settings menu) and see if it works.

Highest Quality Settings in the menu already set to highest.
It's because of the EnablePatch= line which enables the beta functions.
Not really much of a change with or without it turned on.

It turns out your weapons have too amazing and powerful graphics that the renderer doesn't support them quite well :lol:

Bear in mind the renderers aren't actually supported in the editor.
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
