Deus Ex Alpha

Hey guys i was just wondering i play dx with Software Rendering and not Direct 3D everytime i play with Fullscreen it freezes suddenly on Single player so i was wondering why does this happen and does not when i play with Software Rendering?? Thanks for the help.. :D

Why did you choose Software rendering?

Dae, probably because its the only other option, if you don't click on "show all devices"

Anyways, I remember if you have an unpatched DX, there are random places in DX, where your DX would just freeze at, as some texture (I think it was one of the monitor's textures) somehow just fucked it up.

But you're obviously playing multiplayer so it can't be that, because it's already patched with MP... I assume its the D3D renderer which got corrupt then.

Download the attachment, unzip it and put it in your DeusEx\System folder, then change your rendering device to Direct 3D again.

Okay, man ill, try that does it only happen on Single Player or wat?? it just freezes randomly and ill have to reboot to get out Alt+Tab dont work so yeah ill try that winrar file so i put in it the system folder ?? okay see if it works. :D

EDIT:Hey i jsut remembered that i have only tried it on Single Player and not Multiplayer so i dont know if it freezes on Multipalyer :?

Hey, Thanks for the help but i was playing in beginners server and then after like 10mins it forze so i rebooted the computer and changed it back to software Rendering any other ideas?

Have you tried opengl rendering ?

Well, I guess echelon's idea would be the only thing you can try now...

So: http://cwdohnal.home.mindspring.com/utglr/dxglr17.zip

Download the archive, unzip it to your deusex\system folder. Then, when you have the screen for changing your renderer, click on the "show all devices" option. Then you should see OpenGL between those options and choose it.

Should be fixed then.

Just use Direct 3D?

D3D crashes for Garman for unknown reasons, so it's better to use OpenGL, because software rendering isnt really great.

Software rendering is like 4fps.
And the graphics look like from 1997.

(and like that 50 times)

Did you follow this (click here) tutorial? You have to download it beforehand.

I Did EXACTLY what it said without the tutorial..

Did it show you any errors when the game was starting?

No it didnot, It just came up with blackscreen with music

Sounds like OpenGL's lovely brightness issue. When you load DX, press the talk button, then press backspace at least 4 times, after that type brightness and press enter. Do that a few times more and you hopefully should see something.

Alternatively, you could post your deusex.ini up here, and we'll see if your brightness is the cause.

maybe he's hardware can't handle the game

computer specs garman?

Ok.

Garman, to get your system details, do this:

1: Press Start.
2: Choose Run.
3: In the Run window, type DXDiag
4: Wait for the little filling up bar to fill up, then press the Save All Information button. Save to the Desktop.
5: Add the file as an attachment here.

First try fixing brightness just like Clix said

Okay Guys Ill Try It

Hmmm Clix i tried your brightness thing so i did it when it was a blackscreen and did all that like for about 6-8 times:/ I'll give you my DeusEx.ini

I also did the DxDiag One Here it is

I thought you downloaded the updated OpenGL renderer? Because I just noticed the settings of OpenGL aren't the one from the updated renderer =\

What??! hmm Can you change the brightness for me or something?

Well it seems you haven't installed the updated renderer properly, could be thats already the problem >_<

Edit: just add clixed@gmail.com on msn and ill try fixing it through remote control, as I think it could take ages otherwise >_<

I know a few other people who experienced that problem with black screen after following the instructions in /kb/. If you solve this please let me know or just add an explanation to kb.

Also I noticed people tend to skip the text on the site and use Unreal OpenGL renderer, not Deus Ex one.

I tried that, it made my DX crash the moment it opened.

Wow... That's running parts that are ... really old...

Did you upgrade that with a Microsoft XP CD or something?

Stuff (In Brackets, like this), is your specs, lined up against the minimums.

Yeah, I ahve an old computer got in 2002 i think i upgraded to XP after in 2005 december :/

EDIT:Clix ill add you on msn then
