Trying to get through a playthrough on stealth only.. Does anyone know if using the Gas grenades goes against the pacifist achievement?

Cheers

edit - also, at what point does the achievement come into effect.


I killed a few enemies during the inistail Sarif industries attack.. Only switching to pacifist when given the option on the first chopper run.??

I think it's too late for me

edit 2 - yep

"This achievement starts from the first moment of the game, when Adam Jensen is not yet augmented; killing anyone in the Prologue chapter will lock out this achievement. "

Gas grenades only put people to sleep, so you can use them without losing the pacifist achievement. However, if one of them dies by falling into something deadly as a result, it counts as a kill.

And yeah, you need to get through the prologue chapter without killing anyone.

I completed all Pacifist achievement at the same time as completing Foxiest of the Hounds on hardest difficulty.

Gas grenades where a HUGE help for me!

I somehow didn't get the foxiest of hounds achievement despite not setting off a single alarm. I've been cheated.

Did a guard sound the alarm at any point?

Nope. On the odd occasion I was spotted, I knocked the guy out before he could sound the alarm.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

It does mess up sometimes. Of course sometimes these things happen without you realising.

Maybe the guy who spotted you had a radio and he alarmed his buddies to your presence?

Where can I redeem my free code for this that I got from overclockers? Steam only?

Yep.

Daes anyone know if more DLC is in the pipeline for DXHR? Basically, what does the future hold?

probably not but now they have their tech in place i'm sure we will see a sequel in a couple of years (or sooner)

 

[SiD the Turtle]

Intrigued as to how they could do a sequel unless they plan on remaking the original.

DX:HR was a remake of the original to be honest - of sorts anyway. I played and loved both, and would happily play another such "remake".

Low framerate in Deus Ex: HR?

I have a Super OC 460GTX and an i5 760 so i'm sure i shouldn't be having any problems.

 

[BobbyBBB]

When I played it at release on a good computer I remember some slowdown/hitching that *seemed* to do with the loading of textures. All I can suggest is lower texture res and install to your fastest hard drive.

 

[Raumarik]

If it's stuttering I seem to be find now I've turned Vsync on, not entirely sure why as it can be find for ages then suddenly start stuttering like mad. Might screw up again though, very annoying issue. Also have a SOC 460GTX.

When it's stuttering graphics usage is only between 1 - 3% and CPU cores are only around 20% so it's not a spec issue.

 

[powlesY]

I tried fiddling with V-Sync, going to a lower resolution and lowering certain settings but it has no improvement.

My PC has ran more demanding games on their highest settings no problem.

 

[arc@css]

I got artifacts and flickering (a known problem at the time for nVidia users). Seeing as its an AMD biased game, you may need to drop the settings down a bit.

 

[powlesY]

My topic got merged into this, so bump for anyone who might have an idea on how to fix this. I only bought it last night and would like to play it.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Some people did have a lot of problems with framerates in this. Could try some older drivers?
