Is it always that dark?

[Isaac The Dad]

I went to hell's kitchen, it's the third location - and it's still near pitch blackness. Is it that dark in every single location of this game?

in shadows?If you actually see anything you have a gift of night vision

Are you using the original Direct3D renderer, or are you using the new OpenGL or Direct3D10 renderer? If you’re using the former, that’s probably why.

You can use a launcher, or just change your renderer yourself...

Open C:\Program Files(x86)\Steam\SteamApps\Common\DeusEx\System

Find DeusEx.ini

Right-click and Edit the file...

Edit this Line:

GameRenderDevice=

To read:

GameRenderDevice=OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice

Save and exit

As others have said, it's a result of the old renderers. Kentie's and Direct3D 10 (available on Kentie's site) or Enhanced OpenGL are your best bets

Not the Direct3D that comes with the game (Labeled as "Direct3D Support"), but Direct3D 10 Support, which is an updated version of that renderer that needs to be downloaded separately

Here's the launcher I use. It's pretty good and it lets you change FOV, etc. includes the updated Direct 3D magic that lets you change brightness.

This guide contains a bunch of link to the different renderers.. Would definately reccomend the enhanced opengl

yeah, guys appreciate it, it's much better now that I've went with the Kentie's Direct 3D 10
