having a issue with Direct3D9 Support

[dustinmeeks2025]

I'm having a issue where the characters and objects are phasing out. I downloaded new Vision which did give me a better OpenGL Support but something seems off when using it, like i keep noticing something on the screen when i look around and sometimes i notice my mouse on screen which can be distracting for me so i wanted to use a different Renderer.

So I tried Direct3D9 which i really like and I'm assuming because I installed New Vision the Lighting is drastically different lol but i would appreciate any help on this as I just recently bought a PC and now trying PC Gaming as i have been a console player most of my life but so far i'm enjoying PC Gaming. I just want to play Deus ex (First time playing it on PC) smoothly and some good graphics.

Firstly, grab kenties launcher from kentie.net, itll make life much easier.

Heres a link to the enhanced opengl renderer, if your not already using it, Id recommend this over the one that comes with the game: https://www.cwdohnal.com/utglr/ (under latest news theres a version 2.1 for deus ex, get that one)

If that doesnt fix your problem, theres always the direct3d10 and 11 renderers (kentie.net for 10 and moddb for 11), that will make the game look "fancy" with some post processing effects and "better" lighting, it doesnt usually yield the best performance in my experience, and you might wanna tweak some settings for dx11 in the deusex.ini like disabling the tessellation features which make objects look round.

ok so i do have Kenties Launcher and I do have the enhanced opengl renderer but i don't like it as i mentioned in my post so what is the difference between direct3d10 and 11 renderer? i don't have either of those so i would like to hear from you since I just want a renderer that allows me to run the game smootly and no weird graphical issue.

Ok so i tried both the direct3d10 and 11 renderer which the direct3d10 renderer ended up being the one that helped as far as the phasing out is concerned but i still notice my screen like it tears and its really dark so i'm not sure what is causing that so further help is appreciated lol

Edit: my game ended up freezing on me so i'm beginning to get upset as anything i like ends up having some issue so i'm not sure what to do here.

Heres a link to the d3d11 renderer: https://www.moddb.com/mods/unreal-directx11-renderer-for-ut-ug-rune-and-dx/downloads/unreal-directx11-renderer-for-utugrune-hp12-st-cbu-and-dx

Read the description for all the features.. Im just suggesting you give them a try and see if it makes the game run better for you, every pc is different, the game is a little finicky sometimes.

Also, make sure you have 32bit color enabled in the launcher configuration, and fps limit to 120, the game doesnt bode well with high framerates. And try switching between fullscreen or borderless window, that may or may not fix the mouse cursor issue

In the launcher, click the deusex.ini link at the bottom right... should open with notepad or something.. scroll down to [D3D11Drv.D3D11RenderDevice] and set VSync=True... that will fix screen tearing, at the cost of a little bit of mouse lag

also, make sure Tesselation=False

as for lighting, its a dark game... screenshot if you can and Ill let you know if it really is too dark

UPDATE: Oops, I ment [D3D10Drv.D3D10RenderDevice]... also tesselation doesnt matter in 10 so dont worry about that setting unless your using 11

UPDATE2: Oh and you might wanna set ClassicLighting=True, thatll get rid of those pesky post processing effects... Unless you like that sort of thing, might make it a bit brighter too

Oh wow thanks man i did what you said and sure enough it works!!! I'm not having any issues on the Direct3D10 renderer now but i'm sad that the New Vision doesn't work with the other renderers because i do like the Direct3D9 renderer but I suppose you can't have everything so i will take what i can get so If i can ask one more question.

What about the Direct3D9 renderer? I'm having a issue where the characters are phasing out and i can show you a screenshot if need be. I want to have another renderer for backup and i do like the Direct3D9 renderer so i would greatly appreciate any help.
