I have the best idea in the world. Microsoft finishes an edition of Windows...we all use it...happy days! failing that install Win Xp or 98. Meh bring out a finished product and stop creating new problems... window 8 ROFLMAO money grabbing Tw***. PS do you want Anti Virus software with that heap of crap.
I should post this to Microsoft and not on here. It's all £$£$£$£ snatching a holes.

Cheese is right Alvin, Win7 is more than enough to run DX off of.

I tried opting for Win7 but they only had win8 on the stores PCs. I guess I can downgrade but I'm not shelling out for a new OS just for DX tho. It's not feasible. I'm on a AMD vision A4 3.4ghs 4gbRam. Crappy built in radeon hd 7450 of o some similar description.

Just try capping your FPS with kentie's .exe

Last time I used Kentie's exe I couldn't join any server because of the exe irregularity.

You have to disable the non-Scaling GUI from the Options.
If you still disconnect from server, delete the Cache folder of DX from My Documents.
If you are still getting errors, then make a shortcut of Kentie’s DeusEx.exe and add -localdata at the end of the target.

Ah yep the non scaling gui usually drops you from servers, if thats not ticked you can join i think, i play on 1280x1024 w/ a projector and i can join.
I capped my fps to 75 and everything plays smooth^^
