    I wanted to purchase Deux Ex on Steam, but I read on their forums that some users had some speed compatibility issues since it's an older game. I run Vista 64, core 2 duo 2 ghz, 9700m gts and was wondering if anyone here owns the game with pretty similar specs as mine. How would it run? Can I even run it on my Toshiba X305 without having to try any type of quick fix or tweaking?

    I have the Steam version, and I haven't had an issue with abnormal speed.

    The only problem I have is figuring out how to get it to look half decent on my screen.

    some people had problems with it. Basicly it runs super fast, like over 200% of normal game speed. unfortunately I don't know the fix.

    So I can just purchase, download and start playing on Vista 64 hassle free? and what do you mean look half decent on your screen? btw is it to fast sometimes then to slow sometimes when playing?

    So do you own the steam version?

    I had speed problems using Vista 32 with STEAM version. Everything was in slow mo due to CPU speed reporting.

    I found this and problem fixed. Search web for a file called "CustomDeusEx-0.1-bin" I attached it for you.

    View attachment CustomDeusEx-0.1-bin.zip

    This game ran with NO crashing and just a great old time favorite :)
