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.
- It is possible to crash the SDK by excessively spawning some items including rockets. A fix can be found on this site (scroll down to Deus Ex Stuff).
- A community-made extension of this SDK is available here as well as additional tools here.
Custom Renderer

|
Direct3D 10 renderer
Kentie's Direct3D 10 renderer improves compatibility with modern systems and adds native support for various features including anti-aliasing, anisotropic filtering and multi-monitor resolutions.
- Also known as Unreal Direct3D 10 renderer.
- Black screen on Alt+Tab ↹ in fullscreen, enable
Precache
in the DirectX 10 renderer settings.[13][14] - This renderer may exhibit stuttering and performance issues with Nvidia driver 442 or newer.[15][16]
Reduce stuttering with NVIDIA driver version 442 or newer[citation needed] |
---|
Notes
|
DirectX 11 renderer
Darknovismc's DirectX 11 renderer adds more graphical features, including ambient occlusion, screen-space reflections, and higher quality HDR post-processing.
- Made as a fork of Kentie's Direct3D 10 renderer.
- Also known as Unreal DirectX11 Renderer.
- The latest version does not support Deus Ex, use v1.6.1.
- Places a PayPal watermark in the bottom right corner of the screen. Follow these instructions to disable the watermark.
Disable DirectX 11 renderer's PayPal watermark.[citation needed] |
---|
Notes:
|
Enhanced OpenGL and Direct3D 9 renderers
These can be used as an alternative to the custom Direct3D 10/11 renderers, providing bug fixes and improving compatibility without adding more features.
- No extra dependencies required unlike Direct3D 10 renderer.
- May work better with Linux running under Wine and DXVK.
- Doesn't feature extra effects like HDR and bloom from the Direct3D 10/11 renderer.
