So the compass-thing is "hard" to remove? :D

Here's the (https://www.dropbox.com/s/40sh1b26vrx3962/Setup_DX2VisibleUpgrade_Full_1.2.0_beta.exe?dl=1) beta release. Edit: Link updated (beta).

Before installing, please make sure that you have a clean game install. If you're not sure if you've done any manual modding, then it's best to reinstall the game first. Also, for the time being, your saves and User.ini file must be in "Documents\Deus Ex - Invisible War".

The beta includes the VisibleTweaker tool, so check it out for the available options. The Unified Texture Pack has the same options as in the original installer, except that the font and Omar textures have been split off as separate options.

As is the case for T3, the patched game uses a separate set of binaries (optional) and options files, so it's possible to run the unpatched game for comparison if potential issues appear. The installer will copy any existing User.ini file (renamed to Options.ini) and remove the viewport settings, which are not used anymore. Resolution selection works just like in T3.

It's now possible to have a file named Usr.ini in the game root and use it to override the values in Default.ini - the way User.ini works for T3. (Unfortunately the name User.ini had to change because that would confuse the unpatched game.)

If you find anything weird, please provide the log, a savegame and (when relevant) a screenshot. (Loading the relevant save and afterwards zipping up the Current Save folder should do.) Random CTDs are not likely caused by the patch, so no need to report those.

Screenshots:

Video options - all available resolutions, with aspect ratio.

Various aspect ratios: 4:3, 16:9, 48:9. The game's FOV settings are adjusted to match. If you look closely you'll notice that the HUD is not quite the right size in the 16:9 case: The HUD FOV doesn't scale in the same way as the others, and it seems to change in discrete steps - so getting it right for all aspect ratios is not easy. But if you find an aspect ratio where the HUD is way off, please report it.

Same thing, during a third-person conversation. The ConvoSymmLetterbox tweak is active here - symmetric letterboxing looks nicer and you see more of the scene, at the expense of having only two subtitle lines. The FOVFactor setting is ignored during these conversations to avoid messing them up.

Example FOVFactor settings: 0.8, 1.0 (the default) and 1.2. Also showing some experiments with the settings for the reticle tweak.

Downloading & Testing!

Hmm, weird. Which version of the game do you have?

Edit: Can you run the unpatched game? (There's a shortcut for that in the start menu.)

Addendum: I can run the unpatched game (GOG version).
