Improve textures
- 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.

Controller support
- This fix makes Xinput controllers fully navigatable in menus. The game itself has out of the box controller support
for (presumably) the original Xbox controllers , however it isn't fully compatible with Xinput controllers. This fix mostly fixes that.

Audio settings
- Requires DSOAL v1.1. Using later versions of DSOAL will cause game to crash on startup.

Issues fixed
Temporary switch to desktop or black screen when loading

Use Visible Upgrade[1] |

Low Fps / Game not using GPU

SetPoint software can cause the game to hang while loading stages.

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.
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.)[2][3] |
