Best renderer for Deus Ex?

Drake5 on 27/3/2005 at 23:29

I'm a Radeon user, and I have texture problems w/ D3d. OpenGL fixes EVERYTHING! You need to use the .dll file that Psykomanius uses, or you get brightness problems. Wish I'd known about this before today. :tsktsk:

I use OpenGL render from this site --> (http://cwdohnal.home.mindspring.com/utglr/)

Look for this file "dxglr12.zip" on the site. :thumb:

And i have a GeForce4 Ti 4800 SE :cheeky:

Wow, it's been awhile since I've tried that dll out. Performance has increased a lot (especially with detail textures enabled). BUT, it still has one nagging bug that hasn't been fixed. With the targeting aug upgraded all the way, the PIP should show the enemy's HP for all their bodyparts. With this dll it only shows the PIP, not the stats. Anyone else noticed this?

why is the brigthness messed up when start the game using Opengl?
I'm using the .dll that Psykomanius uses

From the website:
I built a new renderer for Deus Ex. It's the 2.8 code built to work with Deus Ex. The file is dxglr12.zip (works with Deus Ex version 1112fm). OneXBlending is enabled by default in this renderer, but if the brightness looks off, in addition to GammaOffset adjustments, also make sure OneXBlending=True in the [OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice] section of your DeusEx.ini file.

Direct3D has the best image quality. The detail textures look more defined compared to Glide and OpenGL. Unfortunately there're some annoying mipmap issues with Radeon cards while everything is fine on GeForce cards. The new OpenGL renderer gives the highest FPS.

Warning, some of the options are not working.

:p :cheeky:

And her is a v1.6.2 of the D3DDrv.dll.

(http://support.eidosinteractive.com/GI/CustomerSupport/FaqSearchResults.jsp?problemType=12&searchText=&game=16&platform=3)

The version is in v1.002f and the GOTY Edition :cool:

ZylonBane on 3/5/2005 at 15:15

If it's already in the latest version, why would anyone need to download it separately? :erg:

Psykomanius on 17/5/2005 at 03:24

A new version is out !!! :cheeky:

(http://cwdohnal.home.mindspring.com/utglr/)

It's now v13 "dxglr13.zip"

That's great, but why would a GeForce4 user want to use it? According to most opinions here, Direct3D gives better image quality on a GeForce.
