    BTW: The game is currently on sale at gog.com for 99 Cents. Wanted to replay it and buying it was easier than digging out my discs or piracy.

      Any must have mods to experience the game in a more modern setting?

      Tried playing today with gmdx on linux but was crashing all the time.

        Don’t know. Lutris offered to install the Community Update so that’s what I did. Direct3D 10 seemed to work best for me. But I have only walked a little bit around the tutorial so far.

          Thanks for mentioning lutris and community update. Installs all needed mods that in general also prepare deus ex for max performance for linux.

        Other than patches to fix bugs, I recommend against most of the highly praised mods.They change a lot more of the gameplay abc story than people usually admit, and you lose that original feeling of the game.

        Deus ex: revision is pretty good too. Changes a bit more than GMDX compared to the original though (e.g., more map changes, some new soundtracks)
