 Two Installs of Deus Ex Howdy, is it possible to install two different folders of Deus Ex that both function properly? AKA: one directory for TNM (and its modified ConSys, which screws up a lot of vanilla DX stuff), and another for running normal Deus Ex. I also plan on installing the editors in each of these directories as well. On another note I wonder if TNM is the reason for DXMP losing half of its on average 20 people that play it still.

Re: Two Installs of Deus Ex No it is not possible to install (Via the disk) it twice as far as I know, but you can copy the DeusEx folder and then Paste it somewhere else. Viola you now have two copies of Deus Ex installed.

Re: Two Installs of Deus Ex Steam games work differently, you need everything in the right place or it does not work. or at least every Steam game I have played works that way. Having two Steam Deus Ex installations requires you to copy the Steam folder.

Re: Two Installs of Deus Ex I think it's possible to have two installs by just copying the vanilla DX folder.

Re: Two Installs of Deus Ex The only registry entries I could find were for shortcuts and start menu, the Deus Ex networking url and ARP cache, and info for uninstallation. I think Deus Ex settings are fairly encapsulated in the ini files. I don't see any reason why just duplicating the directory wouldn't work.

Re: Two Installs of Deus Ex Would changing the the title of the first Deus Ex install to say My Deus Ex , then do another install work?

Re: Two Installs of Deus Ex Not if the game had registry entries that were necessary for game start. Deus Ex, however, does not as I have had multiple "installations" running on my system before. Two copies of the game is all you need, then using this guide (if necessary) to play the game without the CD (again, if necessary) should work.

Re: Two Installs of Deus Ex yeah, all I had to do was copy directories. I made little tests maps in each Maps folder to try it out and both run properly, and both even use their own independent Unreal Eds with corresponding packages.

Re: Two Installs of Deus Ex Mine hasn't, I just read that as "further-red" for some reason. EDIT: And have also resorted to saying "My hasn't" instead of mine. Yippee I'm going dumb.

Re: Two Installs of Deus Ex Install one on to an external drive or a flash drive and run it from there? Just a guess.
