Hello All;
Just installed Deus Ex on this laptop and the game runs extremely fast, what happens is all charaters, bots, everything is on a "fast walk", i believe this may have something to do with the fps, (could be wrong), any and all help to get the game running "normal" would be great
TIA

It's to do with the powersaving feature on laptops: the clockspeed of the processor changes according to demand. If you install DX when it's in powersaving mode, it remembers that slower speed, so when you play the actual game (and the comp. ups the processing power) everything is waaaay faster.
The easiest fix, probably, is to simply install the game when the laptop is plugged in to the mains (so not in power saving mode).
Otherwise, wander over to
