Essential improvements
Patches
The 1.112fm patch fixes various bugs and adds multiplayer. Digital distribution versions already include this patch as do some retail re-releases.
Deus Exe
Kentie's Deus Exe is an updated executable that integrates support for various features. It does not work with the GameStop (Impulse) version of Deus Ex.
This fix will replace the existing deusex.exe

Mods
A number of mods have been released for Deus Ex which include improvements to texture quality and gameplay adjustments:
Deus Ex: New Vision
Deus Ex: New Vision replaces the vast majority of the games texture files with HD remakes, drastically improving the visual appeal of the game. It is compatible with Kentie's Custom Launcher, however note that to use these improved textures an additional renderer is required. 2 are included in the New Vision download, one for DirectX and one for OpenGL, and a video demonstrating full installation of the mod with Kentie's Launcher can be found here.
Deus Ex HDTP
Deus Ex HDTP (High Definition Texture Project) is a mod aimed to remodel and retexture the majority of the games assets. The mod is currently in beta stages. The newest version can be downloaded either through ModDB or from the Off Topic Productions forum thread, which also list all the progress on the updates.
GMDX
GMDX (Give Me Deus Ex), winner of Moddb's 2014 Mod of the Year "Worldly Award" is a mod for the Deus Ex campaign. GMDX improves Deus Ex's AI considerably, polishes and expands upon weapon behavior, fixes bugs, expands upon and refines the RPG systems (Augmentations, skills and weapon mods) as well as a vast number of other game systems, adds a new difficulty mode, improves audio & level design, just about everything has been polished and expanded upon in GMDX except for the plot.
Shifter
Shifter fixes many common annoyances with the game, including improved enemy AI and a restructured augmentation system which replaces augmentations considered obsolete by the developer of the mod. Note however that this mod makes the game significantly easier by increasing the number of skill points awarded and items dropped among other things.
- BioMod is an alternative extension to Shifter, further adding game changing features such as autosave and automated augmentations. Also notable is the removal of Shifter's awarding of skill points for kills.
The Nameless Mod
The Nameless Mod is an extensive conversion of Deus Ex which provides a new storyline within the Unreal 1 engine set outside of the Deus Ex universe. This modification is fully voiced and includes many new weapons and features.
Deus Ex: Nihilum
Deus Ex: Nihilum (also known as DXN, DEN and Nihilum) is a "mod taking place in an alternate Deus Ex continuity". It takes some content from other mods and provides around 10 hours of gameplay. It includes around 3.5 hours of voice work and 2 hours of new audio.
