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.
- The GOG.com version of Invisible War is treated as the UK version. The Unified Texture Pack's installer will need to be set to UK to work.
ESRGAN Texture Pack
- AI upscaled textures & cinematics for Deus Ex: Invisible War. Requires Visible Upgrade: Unofficial patch for Deus Ex 2 to play.
- Not only all the textures upscaled, but also modified MatLib (material library) file included to add or restore normal maps for all the materials lacking them.
- ESRGAN Pack competes with John P's Deus Ex Unified Texture Pack so choose one. It retains more upscaled vanilla look to the game but contains valuable MatLib upgrade which improve visual a lot by adding a lot of normal maps.
- if you want to use John P's texture pack with the ESRGAN Pack, then install the ESRGAN pack first, and then Install John P's pack, overwriting the files. If you use Visible Upgrade, extract the pack to
%PROGRAMDATA%
and don't overwrite any files.
Deus Ex 2 High Res Fonts by djdarko
- Improves the game's fonts.
- Requires the Visible Upgrade.
Large Address Aware
Improves stability when using texture mods by allowing the application to use more than 2GB RAM. This can help prevent crashes. If using the Visible Upgrade, apply LAA to <path-to-game>\System\DX2Main.exe
and <path-to-game>\System\DeusEx2Launcher.exe
, otherwise apply it to <path-to-game>\System\DX2.exe
.

Ambient occlusion (AO)
- If using dgVoodoo2, trying to add AO using Reshade may not work properly because the game constantly resizes the depth buffer when moving the camera. This can be fixed by either forcing HBAO+ through the Nvidia Profile Inspector if you're using an Nvidia graphics card, or modifying a setting to prevent depth buffer scaling.

- 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.)[9][10] |
