Hello all -

I've been a Deus Ex fan for quite a while, but haven't played it in a few years. I have the GOTY edition, and for kicks I installed in on my new laptop - a Pentium M 1.4Ghz/512Mb machine running WinXP. My video card is an onboard Intel which can run in multiple modes.

I can successfully play the game, but it is running at about 2X speed. So fast that the transmissions from Jamie and the character conversations get clipped off - almost like you had seen them before and just hit the mouse button to quickly get through the dialogue. The characters also move much faster than normal.

I know there is a game speed setting I can tweak, but I've tried that and it doesn't make a difference. I've used settings as low as .0005 and as high as 40, but didn't see a difference. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

So can anyone give me any suggestions for slowing it down? Strange problem to have, I know, but any help would be appreciated. I have every single rendering option maxed out - still no difference.

Thanks much!

Search on google for a little program called turbo - it allows you to regulate how fast your CPU runs

Thanks for the V-Sync suggestions - I'll give it a try. On an interesting note, I did try OpenGL rendering, which worked at the proper speed. I then switched back to D3D and the speed did not increase. It then worked fine until I shut the game down completely. When I rebooted and reloaded, the old problem was back. So I'm thinking V-Sync might not be the culprit, but rather the differences between DX 7.0 and 9.0. I'm certainly not going to install the old version just to test it out though!

I really appreciate the help...

Now - anyone have any good links for a list of Easter Eggs in this version?
