Deus Ex PC patch released, reduces loading times

26 August 2011

As is pretty much standard procedure these days, Eidos has dropped a launch day patch for the PC version of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, mostly to fix loading times in the game.

“The speed increase depends on machine spec and settings, but loading time improvements of over 50 per cent have been measured on some machines,” the patch notes read.

Preloaded copies of the game on Steam should have this already, but everybody else will have to sit around and chew their nails until it’s done.

The complete list of fixes includes:

• A frequent issue for AMD/ATI hardware users that can cause the game to crash on startup.
• Improvements to loading speed. The speed increase depends on machine spec and settings, but loading time improvements of over 50% have been measured on some machines.
• Diagonal movement is no longer faster as intended.
• Adjustments have been made to mouse sensitivity in response to user feedback.
• Mouse sensitivity for X and Y axis can still be configured separately, but is now consistent when set to default settings.
• The range of settings for mouse sensitivity has been adjusted to provide for more accurate adjusting.
• The default mouse sensitivity has been altered to be somewhat less sensitive.
