You need to be online to go into offline mode - can't go offline without a connection.

I've not had a single crash while playing the game myself, but do get a lot of stutter - seems to be caused by the game doing memory/texture management as it goes to try and keep the game inside console spec footprint :( something thats not needed on PC.

The crash, i'm pretty sure is a driver issue with my Pc which i will have to look into properly,as i had a load last week and thought i had removed the pffending drivers compltely.

I have definitely started Steam in offline before without previously being onlie so i don't know why it hasn't done it, i was more annoyed with the message of not being able to start offline because it couldn't connect to the network:confused:

Will this run well on my rig in sig, if so what sort of settings can i expect?
Click to expand...

It should run pretty well - on a stock GTX470 I can play at 1680x1050 with a 3.8256gig Q9550 with every single setting maxed and its mostly 50+ fps - with overclocking (to GTX480 performance) or enabling SLI its hitting 90+fps most of the time.

Even with a mixture of normal and high settings it still looks almost as good as high settings, just a little less detailing to the shadowing.

I like the critical conversations, or more common ones. You can actually see the expressions on their face change as you speak the words from your choice of dialog. Good stuff.

This is something I noticed earlier when speaking to Sarif. Without spoiling anything, we were having a debate (read: argument) as a result of something Pritchard informs you about a little while into the story. The choices I chose during the conversation flowed so well, and I could see Sarif's expression change as well (things like raised eyebrows and hand/arm gestures/movements, picking up the baseball and then putting it right back down again like you do when pointlessly fiddling with something).

Saved it last night before my ride to China. Seem to be with the minority here in that I've put at least 15 hours into it already.

I'm pretty much as far as you (albeit I had a bit of an explore in the hotel you start out on first) and have 17.5 hours clocked. That's without any significant AFK periods as well.

Has anyone else encountered a bug where you get stuck in walking mode? I've had to restart the game to return back to normal.
Click to expand...

I hate to point to the obvious, but you do realise there are two buttons for walk, right? One you hold to walk, and the other is a toggle to walk. Maybe you pressed the toggle walk button by accident? :p

Yeah its one of the great things about the game, you can see the facial expressions and body language when someones lying, beinf defensive, etc. on the flipside tho you the player can pickup on stuff like when someone isn't what they seem but you still have to go along with the stock outcome, whereas the original game tended to have additional more subtle conversation options for when you the player picked up on stuff.

Ive just gotten to montreal. How far am i?
Click to expand...

1/2 about that far

Also i'll say again if your crashing on Nvidia drivers use these new beta drivers 280.36 it will stop the crashing well it did for me so u can stay in DX11 mode which runs a lot better then DX9

Jusr reading the news on bluewsnews.com and came across this
"We should expect a "special message" from Deus Ex: Human Revolution tomorrow, according to an in-game message, as shown in this screenshot sent along by nin. Word is: "Human Revolutions -- Special Message Incoming / Be Ready / 2200 GMT 29 Aug"

There's a fair few pages so forgive me if this has already been addressed, but does anybody else get woozy playing this?

I've tried vsync on/off, fov more/less, fps is consistently good and there is no apparent stutter but I had a banging headache after playing this for an hour and felt physically sick.

This has never happened to me before :(

I get a bit headachy, but its not as bad as it was for me in Fallout 4 for example. It's the motion/bob. Try changing the field of view a bit, in the meantime pray they bring out the option to remove bob..
 
What have people decided as being the best FOV for playing at 1920 x 1200 on a 26" monitor? I usually play games on stock FOV, but I really should increase it, because it does make it better for seeing stuff :)

Also, for Pacifist, can you kill the guys at the start in the on the rails part when you only have one gun?

I just played this game at my mates house for 3 hours and it's not that good.
I may get it second hand or wait till it's £5.
Take away the cut scenes and all the yapping then you will have a 4 hour game.

It does run well on his GTX 295 and a Q9550(90-120 FPS) but you can tell it's a 100% console game made for 14-18 year old people.

Or as my mate Winston said "it's made for kids coming from consoles to PCs"
 
I only started playing this properly yesterday. I'm still in Detroit, and I'm just completing Jenny's side quest mission (all on stealth at the mo) but so far it's lived up to the Deus Ex name. I assume there's a lot more 'great' things to come that I have yet to encounter then? :p

Has anyone had to fiddle with their brightness in the graphics settings? Mine looked too bright with default brightness and was making the sky and some of the textures looked washed out.

How are the ATI drivers for people? Got everything turned up to maximum, but never feels 100% smooth?
Click to expand...

I'm on 11.7, with graphics in DX11 everything on high bar FSAA and MLAA - I have AA set to edge or whatever its called. The other AA modes make my temps in my card go a bit too high for my liking, and fan really kicks in quite loud, so I thought it was best not to push it given mine is overclocked.:p

Yeah the performance never feels 100% smooth. Mine felt smoother in DX11 over DX9 however, but get stuttering now and then still whenever I enter big open areas but it only lasts for a few seconds.

Thats the thing, with my current settings the graphics card is barely getting warm and doesn't seem like it is getting used all that much (unlike games like The Witcher 2 where it gets very hot and the fan spins up getting very loud).

Glad I am not the only one with a little stuttering now and again - hopefully a new driver release will sort it out!

Second hand ain't happening on PC. It's a Steam game...

There isn't THAT many cut scenes and chatting to make the gameplay considerably shorter. You can spend 4 hours in Detroit when you first enter if you want, and that's without talking and cut scenes. That's just doing side quests/exploring But each to their own I suppose. I guess all the people in here you really enjoy it are all wrong then...

Seriously, what the hell is a "100% console game". This term is really starting to **** me off! Just because the game is slightly more open to people, it suddenly makes it "consolified and rubbish". And most of the people here enjoying it aren't 14-18...

So... take away all the things that make it a full game and you get half a game? The game is an action FPS/RPG or whatever you want to call it, cut scenes and 'yapping' are just as much a part of the game as combat/stealth is.

I think the real problem here is that you were after a standard FPS and think of all bits in between shooting as pointless.

What a ridiculous thing to say.

The cut scenes I've seen, so far, have hardly been over 2 minutes, I'm about 6-7 hours in. This is not Metal Gear Solid 4.
 
This is getting ridiculous now. I've got to run task manager on my second monitor just to kill HR on a regular basis because I get it "black screening".
 
The stuttering is driving me mad. Absolutely no justification for it happening. I can remain within the same area, nothing new being loaded, and it will start doing it. What's even more annoying is that it was absolutely perfect on release day. It seems to be getting more regular and it's actually putting me off playing the game. I just quit in frustration :/
