The solution for me that worked was, making a new directory on my Hard Drive named Deus Ex Install, and then copying all the contents of the Deus Ex CD to this new directory. If you are one of the people, like me, that own the original CD of this game (I specifically have the GOTY edition), I had problems installing it from the CD. IT WILL NOT WORK WITH ANY OF THE MODS BELOW.
If you are using this version, nothing in this guide will help you. I will explain this in further detail later.ĭ2D VERSION USERS: Deus Exe is NOT compatible with the Direct2Drive version of the game. That said, YOU CAN GET THE STEAM VERSION TO WORK WITH MODS. STEAM NOTE: The version of Deus Ex on Steam WILL NOT WORK AT ALL WITH MODS! FOr whatever fucking reason, Steam and Eidos made the main executable not compatible with any mods for Deus ex. Thankfully, getting Deus Ex up and running in Windows 7 is now a breeze! In this step by step guide I'll go into Installing, getting this to run in Windows 7, and then into optional (graphic and game-play) mods. Setting up Mods and getting Deus Ex running on Windows 7
