Hi, I'm a new member of the forum here-- I just recent acquired a Viewsonic VX2025WM 20.1" WS. I love it-- I also recently reinstalled DX. I made the appropriate edits to the User.ini and DeusEx.ini, specifying FOV and resolution, but the game doesn't seem to set that resolution-- it remains at 640x480 and interpolates everything so it looks awful.

Am I missing something?

Thanks

Hello ... welcome to the WSGF ... 8)

IMHO ... probably the best game ever ... :D ... anyway ...

What res are you trying to run it at ?
Can your desktop display the res you are trying to run the game at ?
Have you patched the game to the latest version ?

Sorry but I have to ask this next question ... as many have got this wrong ...

Are you sure you have the X and the Y the correct way around ?

sorry to go off topic, you really think deus ex is the best game ever? Just asking because i played it for a while but then got rid of it, perhaps i havent given it a proper chance.

Ok the graphics are a little dated but the game ROCKS !!!

You need to play it for a while ... at least get through the first mission ... without doubt the best single player gameplay to date.

If you don't mind the graphics looking a little dated I would say definitely give it another go .... take your time as it is not a run and gun game ... it requires some thinking.

BTW ... I am talking about Deus Ex and not Deus Ex - Invisible War
Invisible war was really really bad.

DX is my favorite game of all time--even though the graphics are dated, it still looks very nice for its age.

At any rate-- 1680x1050, display can indeed use that resolution (native)

The game is GOTY edition, version 1112 or whatever--it's the latest i could find. X and Y are set correctly.

I agree that DX:IW was inferior to DX, it wasn't awful, but offered almost none of the same RPG/storyline elements that made the original so awesome..broke my heart.

I'm willing to bet that you accidentally set a resolution that your monitor does not support. Doing this will make the game run at a fail-safe resolution of 640x480. Can you post the contents of your deusex.ini file?

Hey everyone, long time browser first time poster. I just received my VX2025WM and I too cannot get Deus Ex (GOTY Edition) to run at 1680x1050. This monitor's native resolution is 1680x1050. I edited both DeusEx.ini and User.ini with the relevant changes in the Detailed Report but it always defaults to 640x480.

I had this same problem. I just shrugged if off since I was playing it at the time on my old trintron. Haven't touched it since.

I'd recommend patching...see if that gets you anywhere.
