Did you remember to patch to 1.0.2?
Weird thing. I went to switch off the computers and trap the AI in the last one etc etc, but the first PC I logged into after arriving at the computer complex ticked off the entire quest and said I had defeated the AI and that I should return to base(!) I didn't even upload him to my brain !
It was probably caused by me using the FLY cheat to get up to the area where the computers are. I flew up past an elevator platform that was stuck in the up position and jut went from office to office until I came to the first one with a non-standard PC in there, hacked it, and uploaded the bad guy.
If I tried to go back a different way (different to the way I came in to the computer complex) THEN I got infected with the bad guy computer. So I suppose that the sequence of events required the player to enter a certain way so that they got infected, and did not expect them to cheat their way in.
Yes I know, but DX cheats are so easy to enter that it is easier just to use opensesame rather than ponce around with more than 1 lockpick or toolkit. If I hadn't used cheats I wouldn't have even made it out of the apartment at the start of the game. Those Security Guards drained my leg energy to black the basta*ds !
I can't stand the way the Deus Ex AI runs around like it's doing some kind of spastic Riverdance. Or that the weapon sounds are so weedy.
I fixed all my Vista crash problems by installing the new DirectX9 renderer that is linked from Wikipedia. No problems now (cross testicles)
