Bigger font?

[Пятнистая Рысявка]

I can make myself play this game with GMDX, can overcome old graphics and whatnot, but this foking tiny azz font? No way!

Can we somehow make it bigger? Otherwise fok this game

Two things you can try that I can think of (Off the top of my head).

One; In Kentie's launcher, increase the HUD size.
Two; Increasing the windows dpi scaling (I can't confirm if this'll work or not though.)

What is Kentie's launcher though and where can I find it?

GMDX should have integrated it. And anyway you should get it and Direct3d10 renderer here[www.kentie.net]. And with it you can through its options scale UI to your liking.

Forget it, already uninstalled tthis crap game. Totally unplayable in 2019

Your loss dude.

Just know that you've missed one of the greatest video games of the past 20 years (Many debate of all time for that matter) because you can't be bothered to do a little research, look at one of the many wonderful guides on here, and you know.. Mod your game a little.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Well if you aren't able to download few fixes and use options menu... Your loss.

Nah, I mean I've set the resolution to 1280 and used x2 GUI, got few mods etc. But still, after the training they deployed me at the island, game looks and plays pathetic, huge empty areas with guards patroling? You kidding? Not even close to level of detail and possibilities of DX HR (the best one) or, say, MD (which I disliked).

Some old games, like Gothic 1 or 2, Beyond Good and Evil, older resident evils or silent hills are totally playable and enjoyable. But games like system shock, deus ex, fallout 1/2, baldur's gate - no way.

Well... That's one way to start a flame war *grabs popcorn*

About empty levels, Liberty Island is known to be this boring, even developers had to patch the demo version, which had only Liberty island, to add there second level, Baterry park.

But later levels get better, you should check them on YouTube. For example, Hong Kong is my favorite level, as it feels most alive in the game.

Not everybody has to like everything. This is why we have big selection of games for everybody.

For example, in my opinion classic Fallouts (1 and 2) are one of best rpgs, but still bad games, as they are very unbalanced, force you into combat even when you try playing as pacifist, enemies can suddenly insta kill you even if you have best equipment, etc... But lots of people instead love everything about these games (unbalanced combat included).

But I went little off topic there.

My comment was in reference to his statement about it being unplayable in 2019... i should have quoted that... I agree that not everybody has to like the same game, but I don't agree that it's unplayable based on a few minor issues that could quite have easily been fixed.

I just downloaded the game and played it, unmodified. It's brilliant still, after all these years. Extremely playable. (Yes, I played it when it was new -- and it was very mindblowingly awesome then, too.)

I wish the surround sound would work, though...

There is this: https://www.oldunreal.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1399614715

Its an alternative sound driver, it might work for surround, but I havent looked into it... Might be of interest to you though.

download link is at the top of the thread, installation is just like the updated renderers Im sure you've been acquainted with by now (extract files into deus ex/system folder). Just replace AudioDevice=Galaxy.GalaxyAudioSubsystem with AudioDevice=ALAudio.ALAudioSubsystem in your deusex.ini file.

[the_ruthless]

@BadMojo Thanks! I actually saw you post that link in another thread (after me posting here), so... I'm gonna try it later, methinks. I haven't actually messed with any updated renderers or anything, so... it's all a bit new. :) (I've tried Deus Ex Revision, though. Otherwise, just plain vanilla Deus Ex GOTY.)

This took me so many tries to get into as well lol. I feel your pain brother. But when you want to try it again, there is an easy fix if you download some mod then click some setting (the people here will know more about this, i did it years ago), then you have to override your DPI settings in the programs properties. After you do all that its very fun. I had a huge issue with the small text because I want to play it on my big ass TV

Im enjoying it in 2019, but I also enjoy seeing the history of programming. This game really is a huge stepping stone in our history of video games. You just gotta be able to see past many many flaws. It was ahead of its time, but still limited by the technology being relatively new.

This game is not as unplayable as some, but it is VERY difficult to get started in 2019. It took me a lot of dedication, and willpower. The beginning is beyond confusing, and the transitions of both the cut-scenes and the loading screens are terrible. But its far ahead of its time enough to still be fun in 2019 for the first time.

My goal is to play this then immediately play invisible war because I always wanted to see why people disliked invisible war. I loved it when it came out, but i never played the original.

@BadMojo Glorious! I loaded my last quicksave, and now suddenly I can hear Smuggler's footsteps behind me! Great stuff! Thanks!
