this is the second time i've installed it, and i can't get it to run. when i try, i get an error message that says "Assertion failed: ti[File: D:\prj\Clean\D3DDrv\Src\Direct3D7.ccp][line:1724]". i have no idea what this means, or how to fix it.

please help me. i really want to play this game.

I don't have the faintest idea on how to decipher the Unreal engine error messages, but my uninformed guess would be a DirectX problem. What version DirectX are you running?

And of course, make sure your video card drivers are updated.

Have you tried running the game in Safe Mode? Or using OpenGL?

Seems that you have either old version of DirectX (as far as I know, Deus Ex uses DirectX 7.0 version). You can download DirectX from (www.microsoft.com.)

Or your video card drivers are old. The text of error message lets me to think that there is a problem with the Direct3D support in your Video Card or in your DirectX. Contact with your video card manufactures (visit thier website and download the latest drivers, I mean).

ok, i downloaded DirectX 8.1 runtime, and that didn't work. so, i'm thinking y'all are right, that it's my driver. time for baby steps...

what's the easiest way to find out what exact driver i'm using? once i can figure that out, i can go from there, but so far i'm stumped as to where to find this info. :confused:

thanks,
