Serious question: Can this game not do dynamic shadows? Every shot I see of it, it only has a couple of shadows near major level architecture, but nobody ever casts a shadow. It's bizarre.

When you look at elements like that and a number of low rez textures it does feel somewhat console orientated. It's not a show stopper though.

any 1 noticed gpu uasge shoots up when in conversation but when it ecits it, gpu sage drops considerably?

I'm not sure if you're serious or just trolling. The game doesn't quite hit Cryengine 3/BF3 standards but it's still pretty damn good looking from what I've seen. They have quite a few high-end effects in there, SSAO, Tesselation, FXAA, deferred ( I assume ) lighting. The only thing that it's lacking from what I can see is dynamic GI.

I love it when people complain at 50-60fps being shockingly low

erm because it doesn't look anything special with all that enabled ? no not trolling just expected more fps on that card at 1680x1050 if it were higher res it's understandable

Nah. I'm not paying attention to my GPU stats. I'm playing the game

Things are getting interesting down my end

Run fraps while playing, you'll notice it likes to run at 10,00000 fps during cutscenes for no reason.

my temps go into the 90 degrees when in convo but sit around 81 degrees in other situations. very frustrating. framerate is better in convos. 200 fps i had while chatting up sarif in his office, and once the convo ended FPS went down to 90-100 fps.

I run vsync and triple buffering because a) my card won't waste frames and energy trying to run past 60fps and b) I don't have any mouse issues running vsync.

As a result my card and cpu are running relatively cool, my gpu isn't anywhere near 80'c!

im not on about cutscenes, im on about in game connvos

Anyone know if you can store stuff in your apartment and it won't dissapear?

My inventory is full

 

[smit101]

The TV in Adam Jensens apartment is about the same size as mine!

My copy still hasn't turned up from Leeds, they always used to deliver before release date.

yah I just drop stuff there. I'm sure you can upgrade the inventory.

I really don't know what to do, finish Deus Ex off first(i'm about 6 hours in) or just go straight in to HR. It's not as if i don't know the story of Deus Ex, but i am really enjoying playing it with New Vision and Biomod

You can, its part of the aug system which is a tad annoying.

Depends how many praxis points you can expect to get throughout the course of a game really.

Another boss! The joys!

it's possible there's no frame rate limiter in the convos so your card just trys to o as fast as it can and heats up.

the first boss you have to throw all frags at him and then you win.

Yeah...when I said ANOTHER boss, I meant not the first one.

All I can say is...Typhoon Explosive System = AWSOME!

 

[psychas]

I was just hiding in storage room behind the wall on the box peeking and shooting at him he could not get in in that room for some reason ,and there was no way i would have killed him in open.

playing at second difficulty.

 

[madindehead]

It's ALL kicking off!

I was in the open with the shotgun just running from pillar to pillar, only used 1 frag grenade, I'm also on normal/middle difficulty and found the first boss easy killing him on my first attempt.
