Cool demo if a little dark

[knirfie]

gives a lot of drawing errors (in the form of small grey blocks) with my 9500 Pro, anybody else seeing this?

[3dfx]

Same problem for me I hope this is fixed by the games release or in a future revision of the CAT's though I expect it will be

[Paddy the wak]

No problems on my Parhelia ! .....

EDIT : Actually its a bit slow ! ....

[bsdgeek]

Yeah but it runs like ass. The game is a major resource hog.

[Admiral]

Same problem with small grey blocks here. Not my type of game anyway, also has a certain feeling of console games.

[Wombat]

I'm not getting the blocks. It's a bit slow on my Ti200 (OC to 500) though.

The official game states that there are problems with the Catalyst 3.8 drivers (if I recall correctly, it IS 5:14am here...)

I've got the game.. I'll see if there is a problem...

[Liquid Snake]

The demo didn't work at all on my Radeon 7500. I played it at my friend's house with a 9700 pro - it seems fine. I would agree that the interface seems console-like, but otherwise the demo seems pretty good. When I upgrade my video card soon I'll be getting this game.

Taken from the readme.rtf :

2. ATI specific issues
a. Deus Ex: Invisible War will not run properly on ATI cards using the Catalyst 3.8 drivers. We specifically do not support these drivers with the game. Running the game while using these drivers will cause graphical corruption in-game, and eventually will cause a crash.
b. While the game will run properly on the 3.7 drivers, we strongly recommend updating to the Catalyst 3.9 drivers on the ATI site.
c. When running with the 8500 card, the movies and intro screens are slightly distorted. This does not affect anything else in game.
d. If you change the “Multisampling” setting to anything but “1X” you will experience graphics corruption.

System Requirements

The minimum system requirements are as follows:

COMPUTER: IBM PC or 100% compatible
OPERATING SYSTEM: Microsoft™ Windows 98SE/2000/XP (95/NT not supported)

RAM: 256Mb
GRAPHICS: 100% DirectX 9.0 compatible 32 MB * (see below for support cards)
SOUND: Windows 98SE/2000/XP compatible Sound card (100% DirectX 9.x compatible)
CD-ROM: Quad-speed (4x) CD-ROM drive

SOUND: Windows 98SE/2000/XP compatible Sound card (100% DirectX® 9.x compatible)

HARD DRIVE: 2GB free disk space

* Supported Chipsets – nVidia GeForce 3Ti/4Ti/Fx (MX series not supported). Radeon 8500/9XXX or higher. (Pixel/Vertex shader required)


I have found (with my retail version) that turning off "Bloom"
and leaving AA at 1x eliminates the graphics corruption, but man, does this game run poorly......hopefully the planned patch will be out soon.

P.S.
I use a Radeon 9800 Pro AIW (Catalyst 3.9 w/hotfit) , 512MB RAM, and a P4 o/c to 3.00GHz.....and I thought that my machine would be able to run this game!

I hope this is sorted by the final release otherwise I might be forced to get it for the xbox instead as it runs very poorly on my system.

[leech]

This is the final release.... patch it patch it PATCH IT!! Oh well, at least I don't feel so bad now, if it just runs like crap everywhere
