Essential improvements

Run without Steam

The Revision mod officially requires the Steam version of Deus Ex.^[1] 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^[2]
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).^{Credits to lothar635}

Install the mod over a family-shared Steam copy^[2]

Download both the Revision steam installer and the patch
Extract both zip files.
From the files extracted from the patch, open Content_Patch.wim as an archive and extract all files to the Deus Ex main folder.
From the files extracted from the steam installer, open Content_Stock.wim as an archive and extract all files to the Deus Ex main folder.
From the files extracted from the steam installer, open Content_Steam.wim as an archive and extract the RevisionDefault.ini from the "system" folder to the Deus Ex/System folder.
Copy and rename the DeusEx.exe to Revision.exe and RevisionDefault.ini to Revision.ini
Edit the Revision.ini changing these lines

Paths=..\..\Music\*.umx
Paths=..\..\Sounds\*.uax
Paths=..\..\Textures\*.utx
Paths=..\..\Maps\*.dx
Paths=..\..\System\*.u

Windowed

This fix makes the game start in windowed mode rather than fullscreen, so tools like Borderless Gaming can work properly.

Set windowed mode^{[citation needed]}
Go to `<path-to-game>\System\` Edit `Revision.ini`. Find the section `[WinDrvLite.WindowsClientLite]` Change `StartupFullscreen=True` to `StartupFullscreen=False` Save and close the file

Anisotropic filtering (AF)

The game defaults to 16x anisotropic filtering. This value can be modified.

Change AF value^[5]
In-game, press `~`. Enter `preferences`. A window called `Advanced Options` will appear. Go to `Rendering > Direct3D9 support` Change the value of `MaxAnisotropy` to the desired value. Close the window to apply changes.

Anti-aliasing (AA)

The game uses MSAA and defaults to a value of 8x. This value can be modified.

Change AA value^[5]
In-game, press `~`. Enter `preferences`. A window called `Advanced Options` will appear. Go to `Rendering > Direct3D9 support` Change the value of `NumAASamples` to the desired value. Close the window to apply changes.

Frame rate (FPS)

The game defaults to an uncapped FPS. If needed, a FPS cap can be applied.

Change FPS value^[5]

In-game, press ~.
Enter preferences.
A window called Advanced Options will appear.
Go to Rendering > Direct3D9 support
Change the value of FrameRateLimit to the desired value.
Close the window to apply changes.

Notes

A value of 0 uncaps FPS.

Issues fixed

Cannot set FOV using in-game settings

If the game's FOV cannot be set using the in-game options menu, you may need to disable the game renderer's auto-FOV setting.

Disable Auto-FOV^[2]
In-game, press `~`. Enter `preferences`. A window called `Advanced Options` will appear. Go to `Rendering > Direct3D9 support` Set `autofov` to `false`. Close the window to apply changes.
