Data Execution Prevention (DEP) - Help! Can't play the game anymore
Every time I start the game, question window pops up saying:
Data Execution Prevention is enabled for this process and cannot be disabled. The game is likely to crash due to known incompatibilities. Would you like to exit the game now? → YES or NO
If I click YES, the game closes, if NO, the game runs into the menu, then I start new game and it crashes during the first cutscene.

Is there any way to bypass this? I have already put all .exe files from Deus Ex and Revision files into DEP exception.

Which OS are you using?

Also what is your DEP settings? have you got it as

Turn on DEP for all programs except those that I select

or

Turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and services only

I have it set as the latter on windows 10, and not had any DEP issues. So some more details on OS and settings would be useful to know.

Might also be useful to know what your CPU is.

I am using Windows 11, on Win 10 I didn't have any problems.

My DEP was: Turn on DEP for all programs except those that I select; I turned it off.

Also my CPU is Intel i7-8700

Do you have the option of using

Turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and services only?

I don't have windows 11, so I am not sure. But this could be a windows 11 issue.

Sorry for not answering, I was few days off.

I have DEP turned on for everything, except all the .exe files in Deus Ex and Revision folders and still nothing (→ everything except the ConfigPatcher.exe, where error message pops up saying it cannot be turned off).

I am afraid, that this is Win 11 issue :( hope it will be fixed in the future...
