Deus Ex running slow

[Mr. Tastix]

I've recently reinstalled Deus Ex so that I can play The Nameless Mod but whenever I load the game it runs incredibly slow.

I looked the problem up on Google and apparently Deus Ex has problems with dual-core processors (never had a problem on Vista though, I'm running XP atm) but even with affinity changes and the like it still doesn't fix my problem.

If anyone can lend a hand that'd be much appreciated. Sorry if this has been posted before.

Try using OpenGL instead of DirectX, and also, do you have lag playing other games?

You could try reinstalling DX



Hope you figer it out Bud i just finished TNM and it is AMAZING

[Mr. Tastix]

No, I do not have lag playing other games. I will try reinstalling it again - have no choice really, for some reason my config files for Windows XP were deleted and I had to reinstall... which was really fucking random.

I had a similar problem on my laptop where it would speed up and slow down and random, but a while I found a fix on DXE forums by Hanfling and it's worked fine since.

Well uh, when i faced these problem, i used to activate cheats, do slomo 9, and then slomo 1, and then rebooted DX, it fixed it.. o_O

BUT.

See Cozmo's too, as i am not expert.. O_O

If you're on Vista anything here

May help, might have already seen it. (Even if you're not on Vista, some of it might help).

[Mr. Tastix]

Thanks for the help guys, I'll see what I can do.

EDIT: Thanks for the help guys, it works fine now. Either my version of it was screwed or it just needed to be reinstalled (note that I also had to reformat my PC as well, which may have fixed any problems with my PC too).

No, it wasn't your PC, it happens to lots of people who reformats, and install again.
