Improve textures
- John P's Deus Ex Unified Texture Pack improves textures and models for most of the game's assets and is a compilation of a variety of mods into a single installer.

Input
- This fix makes Xinput controllers fully navigatable in menus. The game itself has out of the box controller support

Issues fixed
Temporary switch to desktop or black screen when loading
- Invisible War temporarily shows the desktop or a black screen prior to the loading screen. The game still works despite this.
Low FPS / Game not using GPU
Fix for Windows 8 or later[citation needed]
|
- Makes sure you have installed the Visible Upgrade patch.
- Download DgVoodoo.
- Extract D3D8.dll from the Archive into the game's executable directory. (%Archive%/MS/x86/)
- Extract dgVoodooCpl.exe into the game's directory as well.
- Run dgVoodooCpl.exe, under the general tab, set the adapter the GPU you wish to use.
- Close the program and run the game.
|
Game hangs when loading
Fix for Windows 8 or later[citation needed]
|
- Perform the following steps while the game is running.
- Open the Task Manager.
- Make sure the "Details" tab is visible and activate it.
- Find the "DX2Main.exe" executable, right click it, and select "Analyze wait chain."
- In the window that appears, there will be the DX2Main.exe as well as other program(s) that cause(s) the game to hang.
- Close those programs and the game will continue normally.
|
Logitech Users[citation needed]
|
SetPoint software can cause the game to hang while loading stages.
- Before the game is started.
- Right click the Mouse and Keyboard Settings icon in the system tray, click exit
- Alternatively, start Task Manager with Ctrl+Alt+Del, and in the Process tab, end SetPoint.exe
|
Crash when installed in a Storage Space
- The game will refuse to run when installed on a drive which is managed as a storage space on Windows 8 and later. Specifically, the
content\DX2\Maps
folder must not be on a Storage Space.
Install the game on a drive that is not a storage space[citation needed]
|
- Windows 10 (and earlier?) desktop scaling prevents mouse from moving.
Turn down dpi scaling from 150% to 149%. Might need reboot (Setting the compatibility option for the game to ignore desktop scaling does not solve this.)[4][5]
|
Vsync option not working on Windows10
|
- Download dgvoodoo2.
- Copy D3D8.DLL from the \MS\x86\ folder to the game install directory.
