This update adds multiplayer functionality to Deus Ex Mac. The Mac version is compatible with the PC version 1.109f, and will play against those PC servers.
To install this update, run the "DX MP Updater" application, and then follow the instructions. This update only works on the full retail version of Deus Ex, not the demo. There is no multiplayer patch for the demo.
It is recommended that if you are not playing online, you continue to use the Mac 1.0.1 version instead of updating to this multiplayer version.
Deus Ex Mac supports GameRanger (www.gameranger.com) for find other DX Mac players, and the in-game browser will also show dedicated servers (PC & Mac) available to play.
Important Note
In order to retain compatibility with the PC multiplayer, some interface changes normally in Deus Ex Mac have not been included in this version:
- Starting training for the first time no longer informs you about the "right mouse" button alternate on the Mac, command-click.
- There are two options in the Sound Settings that do not do anything- "Dolby Surround Sound" and "Use Hardware 3D Sound".
- There is no "Configure Input Device" button in the Keyboard/Mouse settings. This button normally would have brought up the InputSprocket dialog to configure your mouse or gamepad. To access this functionality, use the old version of Deus Ex (InputSprocket settings are carried over to the multiplayer app automatically). You may also use the "talk" keyboard command during a multiplayer game to get to the console prompt, then backspace over the "Say" and type "configisp".
Other Documentation
The "Additional Documentation" folder installed with DX MP includes several html files with more complete documentation of the new multiplayer modes. These files can be opened in your web browser of choice.
