Re: Game not starting
Hey guys I'm living at my school and there blocking all p2p sights. They got proxies blocked too so I can't get to the d2d support. Sorry.

Re: Game not starting
Alright, scratch that last post. I went up to Panera and got on d2d.com. I'll keep you posted.

Re: Game not starting
OK. This is the final response I got from D2D.com. I've also contacted Eidos Interactive and am waiting a reply. Sorry if I'm spamming, just trying to provide help.

Re: Game not starting
Hmm interesting.
If we knew exactly what they'd changed, we might be able to work around it like we did with Steam. How are you trying to launch the game, with the shortcut on your desktop?
Perhaps the data packages are arranged differently in the D2D version. Hrm.
Thanks a lot for taking the time to look into this for all the D2D-Deus Ex players

Re: Game not starting
Anytime. I'm running on Vista and TNM didn't put a shortcut on my desktop. I run it from the Eidos Interactive\Deus Ex\TNM directory.
IDK if this would help, but I have two user's on this computer....although I've tried it on both and I get the same either way.

Re: Game not starting
By the way. This is my Error message. idk if Citizen just mis-typed or they are different.
ReadFile beyond EOF 401409+3/401409
History: ULinkerLoad::Serialize <- FGenerationInfo<< <-
FUnrealfileSummary<< <- LoadSummary <- ULinkerLoad::ULinkerLoad

UObject::GetPackageLinker <- UObject::StaticLoadObject <-
(Core.Class DeusEx.DeusExGameEngine NULL) <- UObject::StaticLoadClass <- InitEngine
IDK if this matters...

Re: Game not starting
Getting the same stupid error message, and I'm running a D2D version, on Windows XP. D2D says they didn't change anything, but they obviously did. The game was put up there several years ago, though, so we'd have no way of knowing.
Anyone found a solution yet?

Re: Game not starting
Well it's probably that D2D didn't change it, but that Eidos did.
I'm sorry but I don't know what's up with those error message. Maybe somebody else will have a clue.

Re: Game not starting
I sort of doubt we'll get a fix for this. I'm going to have to find a retail version of the game somewhere. Bleh
Re: Game not starting
I hate to say this, but if you actually own Deus Ex already, certainly a case can be made for morally being allowed to acquire a retail-version of Deus Ex through alternate sources.

Re: Game not starting
Well yes, I have the version from Direct 2 Drive....
But it doesn't matter. I legally downloaded a retail copy (version 1). Tried to install Nameless Mod, but got the error that the game needed to be patched.
Downloaded Patch
Applied Patch (note that it didn't ask about over writing files). After I applied Patch, I installed Nameless, and the HD pack. Tried to run it, and guess what? Same error! So something is really up. Perhaps the Torrent I found was also a Direct 2 Drive, but the file I got from the torrent was actually an iso (and the Direct 2 Drive is an exe file).
I'm losing patience I really want to play this game, however!

I might, just because I really want to try this mod out....

Re: Game not starting
I actually downloaded a torrent of this, and still got the same error. I'm not really sure what to do now at this point. If someone finds a working torrent of an original version of Deus Ex, I guess let me know. Please note that I own Deus Ex twice, actually. Once on the PS2, and once on the PC. >_<

Re: Game not starting
IDK how this would change things, but has anybody gotten this message with the .iso download?

Why did you download the patch? Didn't the installer offer to install it for you?PrinceAuryn wrote:Well yes, I have the version from Direct 2 Drive....
