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.
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\DeusEx2.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.

Issues fixed
Temporary switch to desktop or black screen when loading
- Invisible War temporarily shows the desktop or a black screen prior to the loading screen. The game still works despite this.
Use Visible Upgrade[4] |
---|
Low FPS / Game not using GPU
Fix for Windows 8 or later[citation needed] |
---|
|
Game hangs when loading
Analyse wait chain[5][6] |
---|
Notes:
|
- If you do not want to do this process every time you start the game, you must simply deactivate the conflicting process or uninstall the program from the conflicting process.
Crash when installed in a Storage Space
- The game will refuse to run when installed on a drive which is managed as a storage space on Windows 8 and later. Specifically, the
content\DX2\Maps
folder must not be on a Storage Space.
Install the game on a drive that is not a storage space[citation needed] |
---|
- Windows 10 (and earlier?) desktop scaling prevents mouse from moving.
Use Visible Upgrade. |
---|
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.)[7][8] |
---|
Vsync option not working on Windows10
