List of bugs, missing items, etc. (Updated 31/03/2014)

[OdanUrr]

Per request of Jerion from the Eidos' forum I'm adding a link to a thread that will aim to provide official clarifications and responses to issues people have been experiencing with the DC:

Human Revolution Director's Cut: Answers from the team[forums.eidosgames.com]

-- Nomenclature --

*SAE - Problem Solved According to Eidos

*FiET - Fix can be found in the Eidos thread

-- Original post --

I thought it'd be a good idea if we kept a list of bugs, missing items, etc., that we've encountered while playing the DC so as not to be forced to search dozens of threads. I'll try and update this post as I'm able. I've yet to start playing but I've already found that the promised strategy guide is missing and, apparently, the Tactical-Pattern Recognition System augment is not in the game. If someone could confirm the latter, I'd appreciate it.

So, what other discrepancies have you found?

List of missing features/bugs:

1) No official strategy guide (Wii U exclusive)
2) No Tactical-Pattern Recognition System augment (Wii U only)
3) No touchscreen hacking
4) Frame rate drops
5) Broken carpet pattern in Detroit's apartment buildings (SAE)
6) Texture problem on the base of Detroit convenience shops (SAE)
7) Holding W+A or W+D results in movement speed increase
8) Cloaks and Daggers' quest: floating cup bug
9) Before the "security" tutorial: you can walk into the wall on the left
10) One of the male hobo NPCs in Detroit City Sewers (right at the bottom of the manhole behind DPD) can revert to the default "arms raised sideways" position and will stay as such. Screen | Screen | Screen
11) Problems opening/loading the game
12) Black posters on company lobby after intro (SAE)
13) Flashing dots on the characters if you turn on the Tesselation (may be Nvidia-related)

24) Polish and Russian languages are missing (Not supported)
25) Inventory: using an automatic unlocking device for a quest consumes two
26) One of the NPCs in the garden pods is standing in mid air.
27) Sometimes after a quickload, those reflections in windows will be distorted so instead of seeing the reflection of the room behind me it's just a broken mosaic of colors.
28) When increasing the FOV, the quick-slot inventory at the bottom of the screen disappears completely. (Update)
29) Sometimes menu buttons stop working and become unresponsive.
30) In China after Belltower attacks the Alice Garden Pods, I escaped, then went to the LIMB clinic. Right after I exited the limb clinic, the background music / ambience started skipping.

Better yet they should've kept patching this version but that's not happening, last real update news was from november 2013, rest is just newst about the new Deus Ex with the stupid DLC policies and sales announcements to cashgrab more. Eidos I guess.

Just got get the original from CD Keys for like $5

The directors cut is still really good; most of these complaints are not noticable to the majority of players

I bought the directors cut, played through it (100% achievements), loved every minute of it and didn't even see this thread until I was done; I don't feel like I missed anything

A few stupid texture changes? An NPC moved around? These aren't game breaking issues and the +'s to the directors cut far out way them

[D4RK-N1NJ4-454]

It is simply due to the negligence on the company's side. They cleaned & updated the original, but then replaced it with a version sporting extra content at a lacking quality, with multiple bugs for a vast majority of the players. When people would rather have the original over the 'Director's Cut,' then something needs to be said.

[Leo]

Wondered why couldn't exit the Detroid LIMB Clinic, gotta wait out the the long commentary to finish.

Also annoying upon load game/save, commentary resets.

you want to know what is game break in this DC? Not being able to leave Picus after killing the second boss. My current save is stuck on Malik not taking off after talking to her. Wasted 25 hours of play time. Screw you Eidos.

Never seen that happen in several play throughs. Do you not have a backup save to try again from a little further back?

DC is broken. Original is much better.

The DC works just fine for many people, and the only thing missing is a few minor texture issues that the majority of people won't even notice

The additions more than make up for the minor texture issues. Idiots just love to find reasons to cry.

^ This is coming from a person that only owns the DC.

How about following a thread since the beginning rather than attempting to justify your less worthy copy. I own both, and understand that it was a cash grab.

This thread is a bug/comparison compilation thread, which was originally here to help the old Square-Enix PR person get out a patch (which was in progress). He instead got fired or left his position, and the new PR person let the patch die.

Did you even buy the game when they promised being able to play on a tablet PC when hacking? Or when additional languages got removed? Those are just the falsely advertised features, but the bugs are numerous in comparison to the original. It was even proven that the second dev team used an older build as a base, than the current original Deus Ex HR build. This is why there are so many bugs.

At least inform yourself prior to attempting to troll a thread.

EDIT:

It looks like I already replied to your nonsense multiple times:

A lot of the rage that you see in this thread is based on the time, rather than it being relevant now. When the game first came out, it replaced the original game, which didn't have the same texture issues etc that the director's cut had. So it was essentially a downgrade at full price, while no longer allowing people to choose the non-director's cut.

The other reason was that the PR person for Square Enix at the time promised a patch to fix the obvious downgraded issues, and then once they replaced the PR person, the patch has been dead in the water.

Then you have the promised features that were supposed to come out after release, like the Intel interface for tablets, essentially reproducing what the Wii U version has. There were also languages that were removed at the last minute, etc.

Yes the game in and of itself is still a great game. The problem is that it is a downgrade that affected people new to the game and the people that purchased it thinking it was an upgrade (back when there were no refunds).

Because this account doesn't own that game, you assume I haven't played it? There's 4 accounts in this household alone and that's not counting how many I have access to from friends.

This isn't even my first steam account, I didn't bother to make my own until fairly recently in my life, I've been on steam with company accounts (companies I used to work for) for about a decade before this account even got made.

But hey, go ahead and make judgements based on incomplete information.

This thread is many years old, you want to keep crying over it, go ahead. Nothings going to change. there's very little wrong with the DC version, and no amount of you or anyone else's tears will mean anything

The DC version is pretty broken on relatively modern hardware, I changed my PC and the HUD is completely off the screen on all saves and even when I start a new game. It's unplayable.

Go into options and manually set the aspect ratio. The default is auto, and the auto detect is not always accurate. (and yes that means setting the aspect ratio AND the resolution, these are two different settings)

If the aspect ratio is wrong, it places the hud in the wrong place even if your resolution was set correctly

I've had zero problems running it, and I'm fairly certain this qualifies as relatively modern hardware:

It won't matter what save file you load if your settings aren't correct

This thread shows the comparison between a better and a worse product. Take it as you will. If you enjoyed your copy, great. People can have different opinions.

Why try to turn every thread into a one-sided discussion? Ignore threads that don't fit your interest, it's a part of growing up.

Regardless of all of the factual evidence in thist thread, you for whatever reason need to justify your reasoning. It's ok, people can like different things :)

How about you stop being a jerk? I was posting a legit answer that might actually help someone with a problem

WTF are you doing other than being a child about it?

The same exact thing could be said about you

The difference is you attack me even when I'm freaking helping people with relevent information

You do nothing but attack. Look in the dam mirror. I'm done responding to you.

I posted a legit answer to someone with a problem, if you are ignorant enough to attack me for that, then the only troll here is you, and I'm done with you

No, that doesn't change anything at all. And your settings are reset when you reinstall the game on a new machine which also matches the aspect ratio.
