Nay. The only good things are that the environments are more fleshed out (download Helios Texture Overhaul for bith better models and environments) and that the shotty and assault rifle are viable without sinking all your points into them. Otherwise, it takes everything fun about OG DX and nerfs it cuz fuck fun

GMDX is the greatest mod ever made for a video game. I fucking promise you. The changes to AI and deeper RPG choice is awesome. If you like hardcore realistic immersion. It gets pretty difficult later on since NPCs are on even footing.

Do your own research you should look into everything the mod changes its not for new players. It can be very difficult even for the oldest veterans. You should play most games vanilla first playthrough. Deus Ex is so good you'll definitely want to replay it at some point. I do every year.

>>7088804
vanilla deus ex is like this, if you explore enough you'll never be out of resources and a lot of skills have no need to be mastered for optimal gameplay, in short it's more of a game about doing whatever you want in regards to how you achieve objectives, it's very hard to get stuck on the game, you don't need to min-max to get to the end, even if playing on the hardest dificulty

now GMDX is a beast even on easier dificulties because there's less resources everywhere, skills cost more to level up and the AI is much, much smarter than vanilla, so confrontations are harder and more costly to your resources in short it trades player freedom for deterministic gameplay, some closets won't open unless you're a master at lockpicking, some computers won't be hackable if you're not a master hacker, and some crowded areas filled with enemies will be very dificult to traverse if you don't have any fighting or sneaking skills, you can't master all the skills in one playthrough, so either you get really creative with the game's mechanics if you want to explore every single thing, or you just accept your flaws and move on and leave that area that looks full of goodies to be explored on another playthrough with a different build

Can't say I've noticed much to be honest, not that I can remember everything in detail from playing vanilla back in the day. Haven't got to Hong Kong yet but I remember loving that section. The HD textures don't look as bad as everyone is saying, they don't look like what has been posted here. I quite like the hidden collectables too, especially giving extra stat boosts

Yeah, I think I'm sticking with Shifter, excess skill points be damned. There's challenge in the name of realism, and then there's just being an ass.

[Anonymous No.7095290]

I'm currently in my first play through and I'm using upscaled textures and the DX11 rendered for UE1. I'm having really weird stuttering when looking around (especially when new assets get loaded in).
Anyone know what could be the cause of this? I'm running this game on a relatively modern system as well. OpenGL runs fine but misses the DX effects/features.

Which version? 9 and 10 are pretty different. I played through 9 and had to iron out some issues mid game in NY when you're on the run so that kinda sucked, but seemed like a neat new way to play otherwise. Never tried 10 but it's been a few years. Though I'm tempted to play through GOTY vanilla since I just built a boomer computer, dunno if GMDX would shit the bed on a Pentium 4.

it's his claim, not mine.

long story short he made a GDMX but for unreal 1, and he got absolutely thrashed by the unreal 1 community for destructively overwriting original unreal 1 content in addition to shipping an expansion pack only file that wouldn't work in the base game. he claimed that this was a non issue "if you understood how the mod works", given that the people posting against these changes have been modding unreal 1 since 1998 it was a pretty ballsy (and stupid) move.

shipping that said expansion file could also possibly break installs of unreal depending on what version you were on.

the best part is all he had to do was rename the maps and change one string in the end teleporter on each map and he wouldn't have destructively overwritten unreal 1 content, broken online multiplayer, etc.

the other hilarious thing is he changed how dodging works for some reason, i guess he didn't like it despite literally no one ever complaining about it to my knowledge.

Yeah I have it on a SSD, I even tried to put the game on a RamDisk, which should be at least twice as fast, but that only helped slightly. Cache is set to 2024.
Only possibility for the game to run smoothly is if i set "PreCache" to true in the config, but that makes loading time absurdly long and opening the main menu takes several seconds because of that for some reason.

I guess I just have to assume that the engine has its problems loading assets that are to big in file size. (because of the upscaled texures) As running the game in OpenGL kind off disables these high res textures, which makes the game run perfect again.
Thanks for your help though.

Have you tried it on d3d9 or opengl render from https://www.cwdohnal.com/utglr/? I've never understood why people use d3d11 renderer for u1 and deus ex. I see more complaints about them than anything, but it could just be that I know that d3d9 and opengl generally work so why change what I'm doing?

for what it's worth unreal engine 1's rendering pipeline was essentially designed for software mode because video card standards didn't really exist until after 1998. The engine itself calculates all of the lighting before it gets sent to the renderer, among other things that normally would be handled by the GPU.
