Hi all,
I'm using a Radeon 9600XT, and when I use the Direct3D renderer, I get screwy detail textures (I'll post a pic in a bit); the game is displaying the wrong texture, for some reason.
Any ideas/solutions?

It has something to do with 32-bit textures, the same thing happens to me. Set it to 16-bit via the video options menu in the game; the game won't look any different.
That's all I can offer. Hope it helps. :)

Thanks; is there some way I can force a z compatibillity thing? My card's got 'support compressed DXT texture formats' which I'm guessing would really kill anything that uses the Unreal engine, and 'Enable alternate pixel centre'. On openGL, it has a force z-buffer thingy, which fixes similar texture problems. Is there a way to force this under DirectX, or am I comparing apples and oranges?

There's a fan made updated D3D dll for the game, which enables the use of a 32 bit z-buffer, unfortunately I don't have the link for it. Have you tried the updated OpenGL dll from (
http://cwdohnal.home.mindspring.com/utglr/) here? Looks just as good (if not better) than the D3D version and it enables several rendering tricks not available in the standard D3D/OpenGL renderers (for example you can enable FSAA and Anistropic filtering without forcing them from the control panel). There's even experimental truform support.

anything special required to get that DLL working in Deus Ex? All I see is a black screen (but can hear the title music)

It should just work, although here are my settings from deusex.ini for OpenGL, make sure you have similar ones:
