Running Invisible War in 2024

How to run Invisible War in 2024 by fixing crashes.

How to Fix Invisible War

Step 1: Download and install Visible Upgrade (not my mod, all credits to snobel). This is a patch with an optional texture pack. Not only does it allow the game to run significantly better, but it allows HD resolutions such as 4K. Make sure the patch is directed to where you've installed the game. It should find it automatically. Download link: https://www.moddb.com/mods/deus-ex-2-visible-upgrade/downloads/visible-upgrade-full-edition

Step 2: That's it. You're done! Feel free to tweak any settings you like such as multi-core stuff and higher field of views using the included tweaker (placed inside your game's folder or/and as a desktop shortcut).

Thank you, snobel!

If It Still Crashes...

If the game still crashes for you, then there are a few things that may help you.

1. Disable the Steam overlay. Do this by right clicking on the game in your library and selecting properties.

2. Disable NVIDIA Shadowplay. The Steam overlay works fine for me, but it's for this reason that I made this guide to help people as I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere else. If you use Shadowplay, then the overlay will crash your game. You can disable the Overlay by opening up GeForce Experience and going into settings.

3. Don't run the game over 4K. Games this old don't support over 4K, so don't try to play this at 8K.

[Francisè von Spitroast]

It's not my "shit" as I didn't create the mod, and considering everyone involved is trying to help people for zero incentive, you could try being less entitled.

Doesn't work, black screen after choosing gender. all overlays off etc. fix your shit.

Thank you for this helpful guide. I was able to run the game by installing the mod and starting the game via the newly created desktop shortcut instead of starting the game from the Steam library.

Doesn't work, all i get is black screen after picking gender, and yes the game is at 1080p with shadowplay off and restarted pc.
