Welp, here I am again, uploading another community bug fix patch for a game. This time it's technically nothing new, but in poking around the internet I've realized that this version is not available anymore, at least readily. Thus I present you with:



Why "Salvaged Edition"? Because this is what I wound up with on my personal PC after the final SVN update from the shared Google Code project that we were using for this.



This is pretty well what the name indicates: a community patch for Deus Ex which addresses a number of bugs and exploits which remained in the final release version of the game. Which bugs? Well it's a lot, too many to mention them all right now (though I'll list them later), but things like music not playing at all in one of the later maps, characters not appearing when they should, missing items, game breaking glitches, and so on. It also adds a few compatibility and convenience enhancements, including allowing more resolutions to be selected via the in-game menu and an auto-save feature.



Extract the single file (DeusEx.u) and place it in your DeusEx\System folder. This will replace an existing file, so you may want to back up the old version before you do. Once the new file is in place then that's it! You can run Deus Ex as you normally would and the fixes will be applied.



Every fully patched (v1112fm) version I've been able to test with, including the Steam and GOG versions, the actual physical retail version, and even the Demo version of the game. Yes, if you somehow don't have access to the full game you can still benefit from the fixes in this mod (though you will need to finagle applying the v1112fm patch to the Demo version).

As a slight aside, I have not been able to test with the Mac version as I do not own a Mac that can run OS9. I also have not tested with any of the non-English releases of the game, though the patch should work just fine minus a few hardcoded bits of text which will remain in English (e.g. the mission startup text in the Vandenberg tunnels).



Well... I said I wouldn't, but then I found a bug in my code. Beyond that though probably not, unless someone finds some other bug caused by the patch itself. I'm nowhere near as active in the Deus Ex community as I once was, though I still love the game to death. My hope is that others will use this as a base for their own work and hopefully continue the effort that way.

To that end I will be making the source *.uc files available in a separate download. Anyone who wants to use the fixes therein is welcome to do so in their own projects, so long as they note that the fixes were taken from this and leave any relevant code comments intact (that's often where Lork and I would tag things we'd fixed).
