- Several demo versions of Deus Ex are available at Planet Deus Ex, including the first two missions as well as a Macintosh version.
Version differences
- While the Steam version is cheaper, the GOG.com version has no DRM, cloud saves and offers free bonus content.
Essential improvements
Community Update
- The community update includes every translation, patch, alternate exe, and renderer known; As well as many useful tools for players and modders.
- Also includes the original demo files which you can apply the multiplayer patch to. This lets you play the full multiplayer and single-player up to the end of mission 2! Minor updates to some of the included projects have been done and more is planned.
- Depending on your system, may be slow to install.
- Currently no uninstaller. Though easy to manually do.
- Install is relatively inefficient, taking about 3gb total to install. This includes the 1gb size of the installer. Final install size is 1gb.
Patches
- The 1.112fm patch fixes various bugs and adds multiplayer.
- Digital distribution versions already include this patch as do some retail re-releases.
- This patch unintentionally removes music from the Hell's Kitchen map on your last visit, as well as introducing other map bugs. The problem is present in all GOTY releases. Except for one you manually patched yourself, which will also be missing the new conversation files. Note that though the GOTY version introduces noticeable bugs, it also fixes many. An in depth file comparision along with relevant links are available here.
Deus Ex Maps Patch
- D.X.M's Deus Ex Maps Patch replaces the maps from the 1.112fm patch with the 1002f ones and fixes various bugs, but also introduces some. Up to player preference which set of maps you use.
- This patch does not replace the multiplayer maps for compatibility reasons.
- These files are identical to the original release maps - with the exception of 3 actually unique files. More information, a link to the 3 vanilla files, as well as bug&difference reporting available here.
Confix
- Confix repairs dialogue typos and logic errors in conversations. (English only)
- Seems to mess up some audio reactions of NSF npcs, at least in the first level.
Unofficial Patch v2
- The Unofficial Patch v2 fixes additional bugs and cheats.
Deus Exe
- Kentie's Deus Exe is an updated executable that integrates support for various features.
- This fix will replace the existing
deusex.exe
file within the folder. If you want to be able to uninstall it, backup the main executable beforehand. - Does not work with the GameStop (Impulse) version of Deus Ex. Instead use the Custom launcher combined with the OTP UI Fix or Peixoto's patch.
- FPS limiter in new versions of DeusExe causes freezes when opening menus. See Game freezes when opening menus.[1]

SDK
- After the release of the 1.112fm patch Ion Storm released an official SDK for the game which includes a full level editor and conversation editor.

- A community made extension of this SDK is available here as well as additional tools here.
Mods

- Replaces the vast majority of the game's texture files with HD remakes, drastically improving the visual appeal of the game.
- Compatible with Kentie's Custom Launcher.

- Includes Kenties Launcher, modern renderers, New Vision and HDTP. One download, all-encompassing.
