Hey ppl :)
Ok as some of you may know, Deus Ex 2: Invisible War was released today in the UK. My mum is a hardcore gameplayer (sounds crazy doesnt it) and she has been looking forward to this game for ages.
In my opinion Deus Ex is the best game ever made, it had a great story line, graphics and everything was interactive.
Heres the problem. We ordered it off Amazon which give a brief Specification list. As usual our computer being super dooper fast :P we ordered it. We checked the specs and it was fine.
The thing is the spec list didnt include video card compatibility on it. It arrive early this morning and i installed it. I started it up and it just came up with a black screen. I was wondering wtf was wrong so i checked the specs on the box. Everything was fine so i reinstalled it and tried again. Again it didnt work so i lookad at the specs again and noticed in the tiniest of writing it said

No MX graphics cards supported. Graphics cards must support pixel shading

I did some research and ive found out that MX cards are the most common graphics cards out there. How could they make a game and then cut off half of their market by making it incompatible.
So I looked for a patch which i found but when i tried to install that it couldnt find the right file even though it is there. I duno wtf is going on here. Edios also had this problem with tomb raider 6 and they havent learnt from their mistake!
I hope they fix the game or some modder out there makes a mod that allows MX cards. Im not going to go out there and pay £200 for a card which mine is better than but is incompatible.
Any ideas people?

I played the demo. and it was pretty good.. yet you do need a really good computer for it to run.

compared to the first one.. you need about a 3 or 4 times better computer for it to run..

MX series are the cheapest and certainly not the best version of GFX cards. No wonder lots of games don't support MX :D
