Deus Ex Alpha

hey, since about today at 4 o clock i crashed my server by putting slomo up to 9999999999999999 and now when i go onto dxmp i cant see any servers, not even my own in lan game ?

Try opening DeusEx in its "safe mode" from the start menu. If you do not, however, have such a shortcut, the just execute DeusEx.exe with -safe command line parameter.

If this fails to work, then I guess you could delete/rename/move your DeusEx.ini, thus reverting to Default.ini, but this will also delete your current configuration, such as video drivers, serveractors, etc.

hey, look im sorry i am causing alot of trouble.I did not mean to.
Well here's my server.log, I noticed something was wrong in it.

Did you try what I suggested in my previous post?

Looking at that log, I think that the problem is caused by Allan's dominator mod, and not the slomo.

Yes i did.
What was wrong with the mod, i hosted it earlier and my server was working ok untill I edited the slowmo to 999999999999.
The server.log says that it can't find the host server / master server

I don't know - it's just that in that log, there's no reference to the gamespeed (or anything related to the gamespeed) causing the problem.

I had this same kind of problem with the Gamespeed.

Open DeusEx.ini, and do a search (CTRL+F) for "9999". Then, it should come up with your Gamespeed. If not, drop some 9's until it does. After this, edit your Gamespeed to 1.0.

I think that the DX server list is set to not show up servers that don't ping within about 10000ms. Increasing gamespeed = increasing the speed of the timer that DX uses to find the pings of the servers.

EG: A server normally has a ping of 100ms on Slomo 1.0 (normal speed) and never changes. (In reality, this would be damn near impossible, but let's not pick at detail...) At slomo 2, this server has a 'ping' of 200ms, slomo 20 = 2000ms, etc, etc. (I say 'ping', as the ping rate is still the same, it's just different to the DX Serverlist.)

So, Slomo 99999999 = 100x100000000 = 10000000000ms (About 115.741 days). This is stupidly long for anything to get a ping time, and the attempt would be aborted well before it got the chance to even try to connect. That's why you can't see LAN games, or Internet games.

Ah right, I see now. Thanks [A]llan .I'm not going to mess around with that again
Oh yes and since MainMan told me to run Deus Ex in safe mode, the menu and the serverlist is very streched like widescreen.How do I change it back, do you know ?
Thanks again [A]llan

Just set your screen resolution to what it was before. (Settings > Display > Screen Resolution)

No the dx menu and the serverlist and also ingame is all widescreen

I meant change the DX resolution, not the computer's.

But Allan, isN't slomo 2 faster than slomo 1?

Yes it is ? but why it cant find servers faster i don't know.
