Off Topic Productions

I was excited to learn about the New Vision texture pack for Deus Ex, and I promptly downloaded and attempted to install it today. I have an ATI ASUS EAH6950 and am running Windows XP, so I was left with no choice but to use the included OpenGL renderer instead of the DX10 version. After overwriting the opengl dll file in the system folder, I open the game (which runs fine using the default direct3D), go to display options -> change rendering device, display all options, and choose OpenGL support. However, when the game attempts to run with OpenGL, the game crashes, and I receive the following error:

---

General protection fault!

History: UWindowsViewport::TryRenderDevice <-
UWindowsViewport::OpenWindow <- UGameEngine::Init <-
XGameEngineExt::Init <- DDeusExGameEngine::Init <- InitEngine

---

I tried adding the "UseS3TC=True" line in the appropriate section of the .ini file as the next step suggests, but I still receive the same crash error.

Just to check, are you using the improved EXE file?

I have no clue what that error is or how to fix it, but you can also try the D3D9 renderer found here http://www.cwdohnal.com/utglr/.

Improved exe? Not sure what that means. I'm just using the Steam version of the game, v. 1112fm.

That's your problem. The Steam Exe doesn't support OpenGL. Replace it with this http://kentie.net/article/dxguide/

That seems to have done it! Much thanks!
