DXM's Labs - Deus Ex Maps Patch is supposed to fix a problem with some versions of Deus-ex .
(https://www.dxm.be/navigator.php5?lang=en&content=202)
Quote:
Due to an error of archiving from Eidos/IonStorm, all Deus Ex games sold in 1.112fm version (Game of the Year, Collector, etc.) contain obsolete maps' versions! More precisely, the maps present in the 1.110 version date back to June 2000 while those presented in the 1.112fm version date back to May 2000. By restoring the maps back to June 2000, you will be able to correct a series of bugs and important annoyances.

Bugs fixed by the patch:
-Absence of music when entering Hell's Kitchen a third time.
-Absence of the emergency hatch in the elevator facing the Queen's Tower (See screenshots).
-Poor lightings with low contrasts in a few maps.
-The ability to kill MJ12 soldiers with a secret gas valve in Hong Kong heliport (Buggy in the 1.112fm GotY Edition).
-Other minor bugs.

Compatibility:
For compatibility reasons with the online game, the multiplayer maps will not be replaced.
Endquote.

Anyone heard of this patch before?
I was wondering if it's still relevant or compatible with the steam game version+ revision mod installed.

I've yet to find someone who knows about it so i thought i'd ask here :)

Interesting, might be worth a grab. Thank you for the heads-up, oldman82! :thumb:

With the changes it does mention, I'm surprised that one it doesn't is the broken Buddha entrance in Maggie Chow's apartment. I wonder whether it's managed to fix that as well.

The no music issue in Hell's Kitchen was an easy fix though - so easy in fact that amazingly I managed to do it myself! :D To be honest though I kind of got used to not having it there; made the clandestine meeting with Dowd feel even more "hush-hush" and I was never in the level that long to miss it anywhere else.
