GMDX isn't called "the definitive Deus Ex experience" for nothing.
The reality is, there just might not be another high-profile mod for this 18 year old game based on the 20 year old Unreal 1 engine. It's quite enjoyable as it is though :-)

I read there will be a new version: http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/index.php?threads/gmdx-deus-ex-advancement-mod-v9-released.85250/page-111

I wouldn't really say that any one DX mod is "the definitive Deus Ex experience". That honestly sounds kinda narrow-minded and cultish to me. You aren't getting residual kickbacks from mod sales bro, calm down. The mods for this game are all free, so there's no need to pick sides and hate on other mods, and if you do, your maturity is questionable.

GMDX is a fantastic mod. For different reasons, I also think Revision is a fantastic mod. Their aims are a bit different, and I like to play both. I've been playing Deus Ex since it first came out in 2000, and in that time I've played most of the mods that have been made for the game, and the amount of work that went into both Revision and GMDX is staggering.

I'm playing through this mod for the first time and hot damn is it excellent. Makes exactly the kind of tweaks that enhance the game without screwing it up. A few little pinches of Human Revolution inspired stuff too, which I dig. I think I'm enjoying this playthrough more than any previous one except the first.

I took 3+ years off from gaming and have a huge backlog and here I am playing Deus Ex.

Anyone having stability issues with GMDX? It has been fine for me most of the game, but now when I am in the Naval Shipyards / PRCS Wall Cloud (the big ship), it has started acting up, and I can't proceed anymore in the game.

I started getting some crashes here and there, nothing major, but at some point on the big ship, whenever I try to load a save game while I am already playing, the game crashes to desktop. However, if I restart the game and then load the same savegame, it loads fine. So that problem is more like a nuisance than a game breaker. Also if I exit the game, it crashes out on this level (didn't do it on previous missions).

But now, when I open the door to the lower decks with the nanokey and proceed through the door, first I get achievement bonus, I go a bit further and the game apparently autosaves... and then crashes. Every time. So now I can't get past that point. I tried some earlier save game too, it crashes at the same point. Crash report at the end of this message.

It seems I am one version behind, using 9.0.2. I guess I will try to install 9.0.3; is there some easy way to upgrade, or do I have to re-install GMDX from scratch? Hopefully the save games are fully compatible between versions.

I thought autosave might be a culprit somehow because it seems to crash when it says "Saving...". I disabled autosaves in the GMDX options, but STILL it gives that "Saving..." message and crashes?

I ended up uninstalling the whole Deus Ex, trying to remove the remnants of GMDX (because there was no separate uninstallation option for GMDX 9.0.2), reinstalled Deus Ex Goty, and reinstalled the newer GMDX 9.0.3.

The problem is still there, it crashes when I go through the doors to the lower decks, after it apparently tries to autosave the game. The odd thing is that I have autosave disabled in the GMDX options, so why is it still trying to save?

The in-game "delete savegame" button doesn't seem to work correctly. If I delete a save game with it, at first it is removed from the list but if I check it in the filesystem, no save game file/directory has been removed (from Documents\Deus Ex\GMDX\Save). When I run GMDX again, the "deleted" save files are still listed and can be even loaded, BUT the delete button is disabled on them.

I'll try to remove some of the old save games manually with File Explorer, but there the problem is that it is hard to tell which save game file/folder is which in the in-game save game list. The save subfolders are not named after how you name your save games, there are no human readable files in those save folders which would reveal it either, and even if I tried to map them by sorting the saves by date both in-game and in the Windows file system, even they don't seem to fully match (I tried to delete the autosave files that way, but I ended up deleting something completely different).

Damn this is hard. Googling didn't reveal anything more. So a couple of questions:

1. Is there supposed to be an uninstallation option for GMDX? Googling for it, I got an impression there should be (after all, you install GMDX with an installer). I don't see any uninstall link either in the Start Menu nor in the Control Panel Programs.

2. What is the "Current" save game folder? Is it just the latest save, or some quicksave?

EDIT: I tried to find a specific "GMDX forum" or such, but I found only one GMDX 9.0 thread in some forum. The thread seemed dead though, one message in December and another from January, and when I tried to create an account to that board, I never received a confimation link mail from them like i was supposed to.

Seems to me my GMDX saves just somehow became corrupted or something after some point in the Naval Shipyards, or I did something that somehow broke the game scripting or something. Namely, I noticed that while all those more recent saves had also the problem that the game crashes with an error if I reload such save game while I am already playing the game (they load fine from the starting menu screen though), one a bit older save i happened to have just before entering the building which leads to the big ship didn't have that same problem.

(Also I noticed that the crash that would happen after the lower decks door (auto-save point) would happen also if I tried to go back towards the naval shipyards, when I reach a similar auto-save point. So I was kinda stuck between auto-save points.)

I started playing with that old save game, working my way through to the big ship again. I'll be closely watching that my save games don't start doing the same as before, ie. the save game crashes the game if I reload it within the game. So far so good.

All I can say is that besides just keeping recent save games, keep also some older save games around, e.g. one per mission, to which you can go back to if needed.

I just played through GMDX, finished it this afternoon, and had zero issues at all. Windows 10, standard setup.

Does anybody know if the Maps patch is necessary or if it should before applying GMDX? I mean this Maps Patch: http://www.dxm.be/navigator.php5?lang=en&content=202

The Readme says: "Do not install those files inside a Deus Ex mod or DX: Revision!", but I'm not sure if it implies those mods already have the fixes or if they just mean: "don't replace the Maps folder in side GMDXv9 folder but it's okay to replace the ones in Deus Ex own Maps folder"

Thanks!

Loving the GMDX so far. Definitely what i was expecting when i played Revision back in the days. The only bugbear seem to be the fact that neutral NPCs react to hostile NPC corpses and alert nearby hostiles as if they were the same faction.
Or even worse, when i knocked out the Rock in the underground station, one of the junkies saw that, run upstairs and alerted Rooks (the faction that gave me quest to kill Rock), who then all turned hostile and had to be put down too. So much for the "improved AI"...

I haven't installed/played GMDX. (I am playing through Revision, currently, but my comments are just as relevant for the vanilla version, back when I played through last with version 1.12.) My setup is an old laptop with Windoze 7 and integrated graphics (so nothing that uses DirectX 9.0c or above will function).

Whenever I am in the naval yards, the game certainly has a lot of trouble, though it doesn't crash. I think this level is pushing the envelope, so to speak, and just very resource-intensive.

What OS are you using?

Windows 7/64bit.

Did you ever get through the naval yard?

Try playing the vanilla version and saving after it, then importing the savegame into the folder and see if that works…

That seems a little convoluted. They could just use a cheat, activate the legend menu and warp to the level instead.

Is the GMDX mod compatible with GOG cloud save? I installed the mod and can see all the saves on my desktop but not on my laptop. GOG Galaxy shows the same save is sync-ed. Thanks.
