Here are my installation recommendations:

After installing DE:R via the Steam client, upon running the game, you'll be prompted with the Deus Ex: Revision First-Time Configuration:

Try these options:

  • Direct3D 9 Support
  • Galaxy 3D Audio for Deus Ex

If you hear any excessive/persistent in-game popping/crackling in the audio, see the instructions below for how to bring the Deus Ex: Revision First-Time Configuration back and then try the alternative audio system.

  • Open AL audio system for Deus Ex

Audio Troubleshooting

  1. Make sure the Deus Ex: Revision is not running.

  2. Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\steamapps\common\Deus Ex\Revision\System

  3. Delete Revision.ini

  4. Run the game and choose the following during the Deus Ex: Revision First-Time Configuration a. Direct3D 9 b. Galaxy 3D Audio for Deus Ex

  5. Run the game and test it.

If that doesn't work, repeat steps 1-4 and choose Open AL audio system for Deus Ex

If it's still having the same problem, repeat steps 1-4 again and go back to the Galaxy 3D Audio for Deus Ex audio subsystem.

We'll move on to in-game troubleshooting.

  1. Run the game and go to Settings > Sound and select Restore Defaults

  2. Test the game.

  3. If the problem persists, go back to Settings > Sound > Effects Channels a. The default is 22. Try lowering it to 16.

  4. Test the game again. Hopefully, it's working for you now.

And now, on to the nitty gritty:

After a while of searching bodies and things, you're going to get sick of your character auto-picking up unwanted items. Use Settings > Controls > Item Refusal to reject those unwanted items from your inventory.

Here are some more recommendations for how I configured the game in a way that enhances it without over-updating or replacing its original artistic soul. Just copy the settings as I have them in the screenshots (some exceptions apply).

Settings > Game Options

Settings > HDTP Options

You can leave all the rest of the HDTP models on the subsequent pages as True.

Settings > Display

Of course, choose whichever resolution and brightness settings are right for you.

Settings > Colors

Note: This gets kind of nit-picky, but here you go anyway.

Settings > Sound

Settings > Revision

Note: Choose the Handedness and Inverted Spydrone View settings that are right for you.

Settings > Revision > Next Page

I thought I would call attention to "Deus Ex: Revision"; a well-tailored, free mod suite available on Steam.

I used it about a year ago and it was a great way to re-experience the classic first game on modern PC hardware with tons of optional tweaks and graphics upgrades to take advantage of.

New Nightstop! (open.spotify.com)
 

I’m sure many of you are familiar with the Finnish synth/retrowave group known as Nightstop. Albums of theirs like “Streetwalker” and the single, “Drive by Stalking” have been staples in the genre for years.

Well, I’m here to tell you that their new album is very different from their previous works. It’s a surprisingly magnificent evolution and easily a masterpiece!

Here’s the description from their website (cleaned up for English):

“DEAD GIRLS DON’T DANCE” (2023) is a more-sinister and dangerous dark electro than our previous Streetwalker synthwave-style releases. The album is inspired by the ultraviolent “Berserk” manga and anime classics like “Akira” and “Cyber City Oedo 808”. It’s a love letter to 80s and 90s Japanese cyberpunk pop culture with a pinch of western imagination. The atmosphere revolves around themes of despair, trust, and betrayal in a Blade-Runner-style dystopia with blade-wielding androids mixed with occult demons and devils.
