    READ THIS FIRST

    Before making any of the changes in this thread you should make a backup copy of whatever file you are editing. If you do not do this and you make a mistake you will have to reinstall DX2. Some of the suggestions in this thread may also affect the game-balance, these have been color coded. Similar to using cheats, this may adversely affect your enjoyment of the game. Use at your own descretion.

    When someone refers to ‘User.ini’ they are talking about the file located in your “My Documents/Deus Ex – Invisible War” folder. There are other ‘user.ini’ files that are located in other places, but these are not useful for editing at this time.

    When someone refers to any other ini file such as ‘default.ini’ or ‘DX2Menu.ini’ they are referring to files located in the “System” folder of your install directory. (Most likely “C:\Program Files\Deus Ex – Invisible War\System\”)

    When you are looking to change a setting all you need to use is notepad, but it is recommended that you search for the setting you are changing because these files are hundreds of lines long. Any characters after a semicolon ( are not read and thus you can use this to comment changes or to leave old settings in the file when you make changes.


    DEMO ONLY CHANGES

    Stop your control settings from reverting to defaults:

    CODE
    -Right click on user.ini
    -Select properties
    -Turn off read-only




    RETAIL CHANGES
    (Also work with demo)

    Reduce your character’s movement speed if it seems too ‘touchy’ for you:

    CODE
    -Open user.ini
    -Reduce the values on the 4 movement settings, 0.8 has been recommended.
    -For example, change:
    W=MoveForwardBackward 1.000000
    To:
    W=MoveForwardBackward 0.80



    Change your hud size:

    CODE
    -Open default.ini
    -Change FOV__d= as desired, this is recommended for PC:
    FOV__d=68



    Change the frequency of AI barks:

    CODE
    -Open Default.ini
    -Change this as desired, value is in seconds:
    RadialBarkDelayTime = 5.0



    Change the game's cache size:

    CODE
    -Need the ini file for this
    -Change this setting to something higher:
    CacheSizeMegs=1

    16 and 32 have been mentioned as working better, test for yourself.



    Change the font size:

    CODE
    -Open default.ini
    -Change the below settings. These are recommended:

    [FontMappings]
    SmallFont10__d=DX2_Font,0.6,0.80
    MediumFont16__d=DX2_Font,0.6,0.80
    HudFont12__d=DX2_Font,0.6,0.80
    HudFont14__d=DX2_Font,0.6,0.80
    HudFont16__d=DX2_Font,0.6,0.80
    HUD_HelpText__d=DX2_Font,0.6,0.80
    HUD_SmallText__d=DX2_Font,0.6,0.80
    HUD_CornerHelpText__d=DX2_Font,0.6,0.8
    HUD_DataLink__d=DX2_Font,0.6,0.80
    HUD_Inventory__d=DX2_Font,0.6,0.80
    HUD_Convo__d=DX2_Font,0.6,0.80

    -If you want to play with the settings the first number is font size and the second is line height. Try not to make too many different sized versions of the font, as each different size is a new copy of it in memory. 0.5 works well for small fonts, 0.6 for normal size and 0.86 is default for most of them.



    Reduce mouse 'lag', Improve aiming precision:

    CODE
    -open default.ini
    -Change the MouseLagThreshold setting. This is recommended for PC:
    MouseLagThreshold=0



    Remove the startup movies: (may solve some problems with crashing to desktop)

    CODE
    -open default.ini
    -Find these settings:

    [PCStartup]
    ShortIntroMovies__d=d:\content\dx2\VideoTextures\eidos-logo.bik;d:\content\dx2\VideoTextures\ionstorm-logo.bik;d:\content\dx2\VideoTextures\nvidia.bik;d:\content\dx2\VideoTextures\trademark.bik

    -Remove everything after the '=' sign, like this:

    [PCStartup]
    ShortIntroMovies__d=



    Change the lighting: (may improve visuals depending on taste)

    CODE
    -open default.ini
    Change Overbright to either true or false (was set to true as default in demo). Recommended as:
    Overbright=False



    Change the brightness when looking through a turret camera:

    CODE
    -open default.ini
    -go to this section:
    [BotDominationOverlay]

    -Find the line "Gamma=". Raising the value makes it brighter. 2.5-3.0 is recommended, for example:
    Gamma=2.5



    Change the damage dealt by all weapons:

    CODE
    -Open default.ini
    -Below are the settings to change. If you just want to test them out it is recommended that you only edit one difficulty setting. For example, if you have no intentions of playing 'easy', then you should edit that one.

    [Difficulty]
    ;AI Damage multiplier - damage AIs take from player
    Difficulty_AI_Damage_Easy__d=1.25
    Difficulty_AI_Damage_Normal__d=1.0
    Difficulty_AI_Damage_Hard__d=0.75
    Difficulty_AI_Damage_Real__d=1.5
    ;; Player Damage multiplier - damage player takes from AIs
    Difficulty_Player_Damage_Easy__d=1.0
    Difficulty_Player_Damage_Normal__d=1.0
    Difficulty_Player_Damage_Hard__d=1.25
    Difficulty_Player_Damage_Real__d=1.75
    ;; 1.0 = base accuracy, 0.0 = wild, 2.0 = as accurate as it gets (not 100% perfect)
    Difficulty_Accuracy_Easy__d=0.75
    Difficulty_Accuracy_Normal__d=1.0
    Difficulty_Accuracy_Hard__d=1.25
    Difficulty_Accuracy_Real__d=1.0
    ;; Ammo multiplier for difficulty levels
    Difficulty_Ammo_Mult_Easy__d=1.0
    Difficulty_Ammo_Mult_Normal__d=1.0
    Difficulty_Ammo_Mult_Hard__d=0.95
    Difficulty_Ammo_Mult_Real__d=0.75



    Activate the Debug Menu and access cheats:

    CODE
    -Open DX2UI.ini
    -Go to [DebugMenu] heading
    -Change "Active=" to:
    Active=ACTIVE

    -More on how to use this will be added later.



    The above condenses the first 200 posts in the old thread. I'm not recording the hacking of save-files here. That was to test things in the demo and is not needed for the full game. If you are still interested in doing that you can find relavent information starting here: http://66.193.119.177/index.php?showtopic=99880&st=60
