Critical Error: Can't bind to native class

If you get a Critical Error saying "Can't bind to native class TNMNative.tnmNativeHookObject" followed by a bunch of nonsense, you'll want to download and install the Visual C++ redistributable from Microsoft's download site here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta ... 02b2af5fc2
This is in the manual too, but I thought I might as well mirror it here. Most people don't seem to get this issue but a good 20-25% of players apparently do. Installing this redist package is guaranteed to fix it
UPDATE: Make sure the package installs correctly, it can be tricky. If you can't get it working right away, try downloading it again.

Hi,
I get this error, but I don't have a 64 bit version of Windows. I have XP with Service Pack 2. Anyway, I've tried downloading the Visual C++ redistributable as suggested. I think this is installing although it doesn't give any indication that the installation has been successful. And I still get the same error. I have the GOTY edition of Deus Ex which I understand is patched up to the latest version. Or do I maybe there is a more recent patch?

Some versions (Mine (unfortunately) included) did not have the latest patch, Google "Deus Ex v1112fm" patch and download it from somewhere.

Well, it seems it was the Visual C++ redistributable not installing properly. I tried installing it again and got TNM working. Looks great so far.

Same problem as Bokaj... I tried to install the vcredist_x86.exe thing, but I still get the same result. I also tried the lastest patch for Deus Ex. Any other suggestions? And any way to claim on that guarantee?

Never mind, it didn't install (the microsoft download) properly. I had to download it again for it to work...

Does this also make Deus Ex not be able to run maximized?

...no.
The renderer might do that I guess. Make sure you use your .ini to set your resolution, and check for the line StartupFullscreen=True. If it says StartupFullscreen=False instead, change it and see if that helps.

I can manually force the window resolution by altering the ini settings, but it won't run fullscreen, and the ingame graphics still look like software rendering.
I dunno what's wrong. He's had DX installed successfully on this computer multiple times in the past, I had almost the same exact hardware before my video card died and I had no problems with DX, I know the drivers are installed right, everything else's running fine....

Can you find this in TNM.ini?
GameRenderDevice=OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice
If so, try changing it to GameRenderDevice=D3DDrv.D3DrenderDevice and see if that helps.
