Saveinfo.dxs missing

[Zinja]

What should I do? All my saves are gone and I think I reached quite far. Today it just randomly asks me to install the game again even though I never uninstalled it, then steam verified the files and I didn't need to download anything, but when I opened the game I cannot use my saves. I checked the files and all my saves are there, for some reason the game can't recognise/find the saves. I didn't use any mods.

I just tried this and Kentie's launcher opened, so this does work...

Go directly to your savegame files in Steam, right click one of them, choose "Open with..." then search for DeusEx.exe to open it with. I can help find it if you need it.

I tried this but it says "Failed to find Steam"

I was having the same issue but I did the following and the game works now.

Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\
Find the file "Steam.dll"; right click that, and Copy it.
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steamapps\Common\Deus Ex\System
Paste the "Steam.dll" file into that folder.
Restart Steam.

This made it so that the game starts up when I click the save files but it still says the same "saveinfo.dxs missing" when the game starts up. Do you think I should just reinstall the game?

saveinfo.dxs missing

It sounds like a mod problem, but you say you aren't using them, so I don't know.

I don't understand why your save files won't work...you might lose them.

But if you do reinstall, I would uninstall everything first, then reboot and reinstall.

I would uninstall kenties launcher before the reboot too, then find a new version.

Well I'm not even using kenties launcher, the game's 100% vanilla. Yea, I might have to do everything again, I have a backup of all the saves just in case they work after a reinstall. Thanks for your help

Right...no mods. I guess I don't really think of kentie's as a mod.
Sorry I wasn't really any help, but thanks.

If you want to chase this guy, he seems to have had the exact same issue as yours.
He solved it but never posted the solution!

I think my saves were somehow corrupted, cause after reinstalling I put my old saves back in then verified files and it said 2 of them failed to verify, though steam couldn't reaquire the required files cause it was a 0kb download. Even though after all that it said "All files successfully verified" there's probably still something bugged since everytime I start the game it starts up resetting all my previous settings.

All in all I think I'll just have to do everything again, but probably some other time lol.

I had this issue aswell but for some reason all of my save files were in a completely different game file, all i did to find them was search Deus Ex save into the file search bar and found them then copied them back into the game file

I'm not sure if this is actually the proper way to solve the issue, but this same thing happened to me. I tried everything (reinstalling the game, using vanilla launcher, kentie, etc.) and nothing worked. Finally I gave up and just started a new game. After making a few saves into the new game, I reloaded the game to find that all of my old saves were restored and I could continue my old game.

I also just started playing the game from the start again, nothing like that has happened with me though. Well on the bright side I'm going through it pretty fast and close to where I was
