Deus Ex Deus Ex: Revision Mod

[Dev_Anj]

Good news! It looks like their Square Enix deal is done. From Facebook:

We got the confirmation, the Square Enix thing is now done. We need to wrap up some late reported bugs and do a few other preparations now.

So the ModDB people making conspiracies were paranoid after all.

 

[Renegen]

re-installing!

 

[Riskbreaker]

Capital! Seems like only a couple of microissues remain at this point. It can't take long now, can it?

 

[Gondolin]

Microissues are tricky things. You never know how long it could take.

More like "they were right all along".
I knew that Square were cockblicking mod. Microissues? Please...they will be more of them when people launch the game. That's the unavoidable. That's how the gaming world is.
Recently, some guy asked them to test the mod on Win10. Guess what - dozen of new bugs has been revealed.

Where is your source for this?

I won't post anything related to my Facebook directly here as this forum has a... reputation of sorts. But thankfully one of the developers talked about it in the comment section of their blog. Check the response by Bjorn to my comment here: http://www.moddb.com/members/bjorn98009-91/blogs/bugs-the-never-ending-gift-that-keeps-on-giving .

I'll stay on Windows 8.1. Now gimme the mod.

 

[Kem0sabe]

People forget this shit is free and done with a lot of free man hours.

Keep calm and wait a while longer you ungrateful degenerates

 

[tormund]

Imo there is no orange filter. This is how it looks with the proper settings.

Well, I somehow missed your comment about ENB bloom and now that I look at it "slap artstyle of Eidos Montreal games on old DX" sounds sort of hostile.

However, it still looks like you are trying to bring visual style closer to Human Revolution and Mankind Divided.

These are not Win10 issues, they are general issues that affect all users. Game runs as fine on Win10 as on any other OS. Reason why they were discovered now that most of our testers are crap and also every time you rebuild a map to fix some issue another one could pop up without you knowing it. Even through we do test this stuff ourselves it's impossible to find every such glitch. He just happened to start a new playthrough on Win10 to test if the game worked there and in turn found a lot of stuff others had missed.

As long as Revision comes out before Mankind Divided, I am ok. I just want to replay DX before the new game.

Do you need help from the codex to test?

 

[MrRobotBear]

Nah, the testing part is over. Now we just have to fix what has been reported. Most of the bugs were not really critical but still annoying and immersion breaking we want to get this right.

MrRobotBear I think this post from the Steam forums is very worrying: http://steamcommunity.com/app/6910/...18282119/?tscn=1441475311#c520518688949769347 . Are you really saying this is going to be a Steam only release and GOG and people with the original game can't play the mod? That would be really bad, as you would effectively isolate a fair chunk of your potential fanbase.

I hope not.
If Revision is really going to be released exclusively trough Steam, then that has Square Enix written all over it.

This would be a clusterfuck of epic proportions.

Guess their so called "Compromise" with Square Enix is forcing this. Gives me another reason to hate those bastards.

Since when does a mod require Square Enix' approval? None of the other DX mods that you can use today, do not require their approval.

It's hard to forget this comment though:

And now our talks are complete, we are not going to throw away a large opportunity for some serious promoting that could significantly offer benefit for both the mod itself and for our personal resumés just because it might take some extra time. Especially not since they are actually cooperating and being very patient with us and all of OUR back and forth.

 

[Jaesun]

Yeah, I guess getting some promotion directly from Square would be very visible. And not too surprising it would be STEAM only.

I'm sure people will find a way to get around that though...

 

[Shevek]

I listened to the soundtrack samples on the website and they just sound worse than the original soundtrack to me. No offense to folks to put hard work into these but the original soundtrack is quite good and I just dont see how this is better.

If it means anything, that leaked build worked with any version of Deus Ex.

This picture of one of the mod devs should clarify the situation:
