So now, we finally have vanilla Deus Ex ready to go! Once you've done this, you can reinstall Deus Ex into this new folder and proceed with the guide! Go to View > Settings and Click the 'Downloads' Tab to find it.Ĭlick Add Library Folder and make it anywhere you want. If this is the case, you can make another Steam Library Folder using the Steam Library Folders feature. If mods are installed correctly, they may start working for you. If you think you might be being affected by this, try moving your copy of Deux Ex from the Program Files folder into another folder like 'C:\Games' and launch it.
This varies from machine to machine and some people may not have a problem at all. The long story short is that if you have your copy of Deus Ex located within either the Program Files or the Program Files (x86) folder, you may encounter problems and some, or all, mods may not work at all. The Program Files folder is a protected folder within your Windows installation that works differently from other folders on your computer. Let's start off with some important information.
