It should have no effect.
Maybe it's a good thing to add the option to Sneaky Upgrade too, decoupling it from the mouse tweaks.

Yes, that would be better.

Hi. First timer here on the forums, so I hope I'm not doing anything outlandish on my first crack at this. I mainly just wanted too do say two things.
First, congratulations on making this horribly temperamental piece of software slightly less so. I know it must have taken a lot of effort and time, so know that I appreciate being able to break this game over my knee with less annoyance than before.
Second and last, I have a report after playing the whole game with the mod in it's current version (1.2.0). Before I found this patch, I normally used the (I think) well know utility patch to make the game widescreen. I say this just in case that somehow makes the game more stable or something, because my problem occurred after hours of playing the game in a row. See, I love this broken game as a challenge of my patience, so that coupled with my need to finish things makes me try and get it over with as fast as possible. From my last save (which was outside the mag rail facility or whatever), I went through the game in one long day of slashing people in the face. However, the game got very, very mad at me after I took the elevator up from the crappy neighborhood to the last trip to that big airport place (the trip where a billion annoying Templars are occupying it).
The game suddenly started dropping frames. HARD. It started just being a thing that happened at the level loads, but slowly infected every moment I played. It got so bad it was stopping every few seconds. I was to persistent however, so the game just uped and killed itself after I started the battle to get Paul. I read about you wanting bug reports, so I got the dump file and will put a link to my dropbox where it is for your professional opinion. I don't know if it was due to a random bug, as I never had that problem before I used this, or it the game was just nice to me every other time and now wanted me to feel pain.
In any case, I hope this helps you, and that I didn't screw up to badly with my first post.

PS. More info in the options menu would be nice. I switched to dump file mode because I assume that's better than info mode, so if that was wrong sorry.
PSS. I was able to finish the game and the bug didn't happen a second time. I don't know if it was because I loaded from a new save after the crashed or what.

An engine or driver bug is probably the most likely cause. I don't remember seeing something like you describe in this game, but with the similar Thief 3 patch I've had similar weirdness - which went away after a proper reboot. That said, did you have the texture pack installed, and did you change your FOV to match the widescreen display mode, when you played the game previously?
Unfortunately logging is WIP, one of the corners I had to cut to get the patch released. So there's not much information there and not much difference between the Info and Dump settings.
If you can reproduce the bug from an earlier save then please upload it. Otherwise there's not much I can do, I'm afraid.

I tired to use old save files to make the problem reappear. While I did crash for some reason while going up an elevator, I didn't experience the same problems as before. Maybe the game is temperamental and doesn't like to be played for hours on end or something. In any case, I've got a dropbox link to my settings for you. Never know if someone else will have the same problem and be able to compare them and all that jazz. Sorry I couldn't have helped more. Maybe when I have the strength to play the game again I'll keep up bandicam just in case something messy happens.

PS. I'll keep the saves and give them to you if you want (though you'd have to tell me where they are for that).

If you get the issue again, try disabling the texture pack and see if it makes a difference. But if you're going to replay the game once more, please wait for the next version of the patch. :)

Question: it would be good for DXIW a change to a "deusex2.exe" main exe as you did for TDS?
snobel on 5/3/2017 at 12:59
It's already using that name - unless you install with the Steam option enabled to get the overlay working. (In that case the exe name must be the original, or Steam gets confused.)
lowenz on 5/3/2017 at 18:33
LOL, you're right! Maybe add the note about the exe change.

Hey, I literally created an account just so I could directly thank you for this, snobel.
Gotta say: superb work all around. I'd say you about did for Invisible War what Kentie's launcher did for the original Deus Ex.
It was the only way I could get the game running properly on my rig, since it wouldn't recognize my alterations to the .ini files, for whatever reason.
Didn't encounter any glitches so far whatsoever. Perfect timing, too, since I only started playing about 2 days ago.
8 hours in, really digging it. Here's to hoping more people try out this frequently overlooked gem.
Cheers.
