...

Went through all the stuff...followed all the instructions and when I hit the, 'play' button I got the following ...

Failed to enter="C:\Games\Deus: Failed launching URL

Not looking to open a web page, here. Just want to play GMDX

Anyone got any ideas?

Figured it out. You get the above error if you put -hax0r at the end of the shortcut's command line.

Been using cheats to quickly check out weapons, augs, etc. and that was hanging me up. Back to cheat'n old school with t=Say in the user.ini and Ye Olde set DeusEx.JCDentonMale bCheatsEnabled true command.

It's just like playing the old vanilla game--complete with the f@$$@#ing combat knives but so far that's only a minor irritation.

What I REALLY miss is the inventory cheat. Hey...It's an exploit from the original game (I know because I played vanilla starting in 2000) so since THAT is part of the traditional game I say bring it back...for that nostalgic feeling. :D

Thanks for reading, all! Hope the above helps another grizzled old Deux Ex Veteran with installing and running what is so far a fairly enjoyable mod.

Happy Holidays!

Hello!

Other than this problem (which I think you should report at the GMDX v10 ModDB page), how's your overall experience of v10 been?

I have not played with GMDX yet and there are currently two alternatives, or better, three:

1) Original GMDX v9 released by the original author

2) Unofficial fork by RoSoDude which seems to be at least partly endorsed by the original author

3) GMDX v10 Community Patch which the original author does not support at all

Cheers!

Rosodude+hotfix 2.1 is the best IMO. Community Patch changes too much of what makes GMDX unique, for example they took out the new skills and the ability to mantle on objects.

Thanks for the clarification:

Watched some of a playthrough on YouTube, and it looked good, but it was so long ago I think it was pre-Community Patch, that I will now be avoiding.

Please note, for anyone wondering:

Following the "Manual install" instructions for the *other* Community Patch (it comes with "Confix" and the "Transcended" Mod's as bundled "extras") means you can add individual sub-folders that are modded to your spec', thereby have modded (e.g. for GMDX) and "vanilla" installs accessible at the same time.

(This Other Community Patch comes with some drag-and-drop EXEs that will make a vanilla install work on Windows 10: I am currently using one.)

Galaxy also has a feature that allows for other "Additional" executables to be run on command *instead* of the usual one, so those users don't miss out either.

Apologies for going off-topic, but if anyone does want instructions for adding Additional EXEs in Galaxy: please ask.

this mod is annoying

there is no password for vanderberg locked room
i m constantly out of ammo for my fav guns and i just get max sword
game remove balistic protection from mission 10 and don't give it in 11 so you can't make fun combination of both protections instead of cloak

any code to force open doors?

Revision was available for all versions during testing, then when it went gold, it was Steam only. It was rather annoying, as I was one of the guys who played DX without the need for Steam. Loooong tirades and polemics later, it seems GOG managed to get a non-Steam version
