Darvond: So, is there hypothetically preventing someone from going to the release website of Deus Ex Revision and
downloading it that way?
Vampire-Jekyll: Last I checked, only v1.6.3 is available on the website. I'd take a second look, but the website seems busted right now.
As of now, the website is still nonfunctional.
I have another issue, too. I was enjoying the game (version 1.4.5, I think it was) and then, hubristically, I applied a couple of hotpatches to reach v1.6. Subsequently, the game complained at startup with two missing files that didn't seem to have any immediate effect … but then I reached a point of no further progress. No input changed the screen. (I have rescued the hostage from the service station, but approaching the helicopter crashed the game but left the screen active, so as to display the mooks wandering up and down in their patrols.)
I tried reinstalling the mod, then the base game, but the Gog installer complains that I have a later version installed. (Which I had already removed.)
In the meantime I am playing GMDX.
