This method requires either Bootcamp or a seperate pc with windows installed and some quick registry editing.
Disclaimer: I always use virtual desktops when I play games with Crossover on my Mac. I can't help it, it's a fetish. So if you don't, I'm sure you'll manage with some elbow grease. Right, where to begin? I have been struggling for some time trying to get the unified texture pack to work with Invisible War (from now on DX:IW) through Crossover. I've tried both the dvd-version and the GOG release of DX:IW but the texture mod just doesn't want to work through conventional means. It has something to do with the .ibd patcher not working properly through Crossover..or something, not important. So if you have some time and patience to spare, let's begin. First grab the unified texture pack from here: http://www.fileplanet.com/182707/180000/fileinfo/Deus-Ex:-Invisible-War---Deus-Ex-Unified-Texture-Pack -or somewhere else, Google is as always your friend. and the widescreen fixer from here: http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2088245 ______________________________________________________________ 1. Windows Install DX:IW (remember the install path, this is important, for this example's sake we will use 'C:GamesDeus Ex Invisible War') If you are using the GOG release, you will have to edit your registry: -Type 'regedit' in the search field in the Start menu on Windows 7. -Find all references to DX:IW's file path and remove the last ' at the end of the file path. So for instance, in my case, in Bootcamp, I found the correct keys under: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> software -> Wow6432Node -> GOG.com -> GOGDEUSX2 and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> software -> Wow6432Node -> Ion Storm Now you have to remove all excess ' you can find. So change all file paths that look like this 'C:gamesInvisible War' to this 'C:gamesInvisible War' -notice the difference? This is a problem that is unique to the GOG-installer I believe, but I could be mistaken. ______________________________________________________________ 2. Windows Install the texture pack. If you are using the GOG release you must choose UK english as your install language. Tick all the boxes, or the ones you want, and let the install finish. ______________________________________________________________ 3.Windows Put the widescreen fix .exe in the same directory as Engine.d2u. -the System directory, I believe. Run the patch .exe. Choose the resolution you will be using in the virtual desktop in Crossover. (in my case 1280x800) Run the game, make sure everything works. ______________________________________________________________ 4. OS X, Crossover Install DX:IW in it's own bottle. Make sure to use the same install directory file path as when you installed DX:IW on Windows. -in this case 'C:GamesDeus Ex Invisible War I don't know if it is necessary to edit the registry at this point, but I did so just in case. Open the Run Command window in Crossover. Use DX:IW's bottle and type regedit. Do as before, remove any extra ' you can find. Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> Software -> GOG.com -> GOGDEUSX2 and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> Software -> Ion Storm ______________________________________________________________ 6. Windows --> OS X, Crossover Copy the DX:IW folder from the install directory. -in my case C:Games. Replace the DX:IW folder in your bottle on OS X with the one from Windows. Copy the 'Deus Ex Invisible War' folder from My Documents and replace the one created by Crossover on you Mac. ______________________________________________________________ 7. OS X, Crossover Set your virtual desktop to your desired resolution, in my case 1280x800. Open user.ini. -found in the Deus Ex Invisible War folder in your Documents folder. Edit these lines found at the bottom: [WinDrv.WindowsClient] FullscreenViewportY=XXX FullscreenViewportX=XXXX to your virtual desktop resolution. So in my case: [WinDrv.WindowsClient] FullscreenViewportY=800 FullscreenViewportX=1280 ______________________________________________________________ 9. OS X, Crossover. With a virtual desktop you will find that the mouse pointer has an infuriating tendency to escape the window. Fix this by opening the Run Command window in Crossover. Use DX:IW's bottle and run the regedit command. Navigate thusly: HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> Wine -Create a new key called DirectInput And in this key, create a new String called MouseWarpOverride. Double click the string you just created and type force in the 'value data' field. This will force your mouse pointer to stay glued to the middle of the screen. Since DX:IW's UI is pretty much designed to be used with a gamepad, this is no problem. -you could use force_edge, but I find that the pointer keeps escaping with force_edge. EDIT: I seems to have rushed ahead slightly. Forcing the mouse pointer to stay glued to the middle of the screen makes sorting your inventory impossible. So force_edge it is then. ______________________________________________________________ 10. OS X, Crossover Play. The. Game. Merry Christmas, by the way.

Description of Deus Ex Windows
The game was released for Microsoft Windows on June 2000, with a Mac OS port following the next month. A modified version of the game was released for the PlayStation 2 in 2002. In the years following its release, Deus Ex has received additional improvements and content from its fan community. As it is now, the first Deus Ex is still an awesome game and the second Deus Ex is still a horrible game. They should just make a new sequal that pretends that IW never happened.

do you have a windows version or will this do fine
Deus Ex 1 definately. Can't recommend Invisible War however, was just too disappointed with that game. That said there is a full conversion mod for Deus Ex called The Nameless Mod which was my. Copy the 'Deus Ex Invisible War' folder from My Documents and replace the one created by Crossover on you Mac. OS X, Crossover Set your virtual desktop to your desired resolution, in my case 1280x800. Open user.ini.-found in the Deus Ex Invisible War folder in your Documents folder. Edit these lines found at the bottom: WinDrv. Check the Deus Ex forums for more information. The sound effects and music in this game is top notch. The voice acting is very good as well. The AI seems realistic with their own side conversations. The EAX support is well done too. The same composer of the original game does the background music for Invisible War.

Shut up Lord_KARTI you tight ass, go on steam.com and download it for like $1.99 that's all it cost to get the legit full edition of the game, pay the 2 dollars and stop being a tight ass. It's hard to get it for mac, easy to get it for pc.

When are you going to upload a DOS or Windows version of this? Also why do you never upload Deus Ex: Invisible War?
