We just released Deus Ex Randomizer v3.4.1, including recent big updates for the Zero Rando modes (no randomization modes). One of the biggest updates is putting all of our balance changes behind toggles - off by default in Zero Rando mode, but enabled in Zero Rando Plus by default.

• Vanilla Fixer: No gameplay changes, just compatibility fixes. Our installer ensures a smooth, battle-tested setup for modern systems with just a few clicks, inherited from Deus Ex Randomizer. Automatically installs Kentie's Launcher, D3D10 and other renderers, DXVK, Engine.dll fix for high framerates, and config tweaks.
• Zero Rando: The pure Deus Ex experience - with no randomization, just essential bug fixes and optional QoL improvements from DXRando.
• Zero Rando Plus: Same as Zero Rando, but with balance changes enabled (which you can still customize in the Rando ➜ Gameplay menu).

This is a fresh update, so if you spot anything that shouldn’t be enabled in Zero Rando, let us know! We

They never heard of saving???

If you don't know what Deus Ex Randomizer is, then here's our trailer which shows a breakdown of how it works:

From the video's description:

Finally!

In the next few days, I'll upload a commentary video that explains how this is possible. Some key points for those who are curious:

• AutoHotKey (AHK) is a piece of software that allows the user to create custom keyboard macros and hotkeys. Using AHK, I set up my Numpad to control the mouse. For example, Numpad 4 moves the mouse 100 pixels left, and Numpad 6 moves the mouse 100 pixels right.
• Most objects in the game require you to look directly at them in order to interact with them. For smaller objects, like elevator buttons and keys, we must memorize a series of precise movements and angle changes in order to line up our camera with the intended object. This can be quite tedious.
• At 4:30 is the first big trick of the run. Throwing a gas grenade in a particular spot will cause the guard inside the building to panic. He runs to the front door to let us in, allowing us to skip the entire first mission.
• At 6:50 you'll see some weird blue te

Vanilla Fixer: automatically applies compatibility fixes without changing the game at all.

Zero Rando mode: features many quality of life improvements and bug fixes. Based on Deus Ex Randomizer but without the randomization.

Randomizer Lite mode: keeps the randomization subtle, without moving anything or breaking immersion. Similarly there is a Randomizer Medium mode which enables a bunch more randomization features without getting too crazy.

All with good Steam Deck support!

Lots of things not shown in this video because I tried to keep it under 3 minutes. Features such as the integrated bingo board, support for Crowd Control, brightness boost adjustment, and looting improvements, which are all available options even in Zero Rando mode!

Played DX a few times, but the only part of the plot that never fully makes sense to me is Maggie Chow:

• She is an MJ12 plant who knows JC is Paul's brother, but doesn't know he's a fugitive? Or she does know he's a fugitive but doesn't call her MJ12 guards to take him out?
• She sends JC to the police station on a mission to steal information, but then the information incriminates her. Why? JC even asks her what she expected to happen.

Not so much a plot thing, but I also find it strange that she runs up to fight JC in Versalife with just a sword and no armor. It's the least threatening fight in the game. I know the people in Hong Kong say she used to do Kung Fu movies, it would have been cool if there was some allusion to that during the fight.

If you don't know what Deus Ex Randomizer is, then here's our old trailer which shows a breakdown of how it works.

We just released v2.6 which has some big changes like an overhaul of augs (with an option for automatic augs), many more goals with randomized locations, and saving during infolinks. Download here: https://mods4ever.com/

But we release updates all the time, so let's recap the highlights of the past year of updates.

Part of DXRando is randomizing the location of explicit mission goal locations (characters, computers, etc). Right now we have 63 goals with 261 locations, vs 1 year ago we had 50 goals with 211 locations in v2.2.7.

We also have an integrated bingo board! Right now we're at 315 Bingo goals, vs 118 bingo goals 1 year ago in v2.2.7.

Here are some of the biggest additions we've done in the past year:

• New Game Mode
