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.
- 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 comparison along with relevant links are available here.
Other Patches
Deus Ex Maps Patch
D.X.M's Deus Ex Maps Patch is an small patch that fixed some bugs found within the 1.112fm 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

Deus Exe
