Essential improvements
Custom 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.
- This renderer may exhibit stuttering and performance issues with Nvidia driver 442 or newer.[1][2]
Usage[3]

- If you are using the original Deus Ex, install the renderer then run Deus Ex: Revision in Safe Mode and choose Direct3D 10 Support from the list.
|
Fixing stuttering with NVIDIA driver 442 or newer

- Low Latency Mode: Ultra.
- Max Frame Rate: 120 FPS.
- Power management mode: Prefer maximum performance.
- Click Apply.

Darknovismc's DirectX 11 renderer adds more graphical features, including ambient occlusion, screen-space reflections, and higher quality HDR post-processing.

Run without Steam
- The Revision mod officially requires the Steam version of Deus Ex.[10] However, it is possible to play Deus Ex Revision with a non-Steam version of the original game, by adding parameters in the executable target:
Create a link of the executable[9]
|
- Run
<path-to-game>\System\deusex.exe with the command line arguments -localdata -INI=Revision.ini -USERINI=RevisionUser.ini
- If you encounter an issue with the above arguments, replace it with
-localdata -INI=RevisionDefault.ini -USERINI=RevisionDefUser.ini
|
Run with a Family-shared copy of the Steam version
- Free products like this mod cannot be "bought" with a copy from family sharing. These instructions describe how to install manually the mod over a family-shared steam version (or a non-steam version).
Install the mod over a family-shared Steam copy[11]
