DXN is a First Person Shooter mod set in an alternate Deus Ex continuity. It features made-from-scratch original content while also extensively featuring material from the UNATCO Born mod (used with permission from fender2k1, UB's project leader) and Deus Ex: Revision (2011 build - used in accordance with the mod's license)
The original 2013 release was replaced with the Final Anniversary Update (1.7) on December 21st 2018. The July 28th 2022 update (1.7.0.2) removes the unifiedDeusEx and some other conflicting DDS textures from the build, otherwise the content is the same as in the previous version.

It is recommended to remove previous installations of DXN before installing DXN - Deus Ex: Nihilum.
Past DXN savegames are NOT compatible with this build!
DXN was intentionally designed with the New Vision mod and Project HDTP in mind!
You can get them from:

DXN has been packaged with 7-Zip.
You can download it from this site:
7-zip.org
It is highly recommended/probably required to install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 runtimes before installing the mod!
You can download them from this link:
Download.microsoft.com
Some bugs that haven't been fixed in this release (in addition to the bugs already listed in the mod documentation):
Infinite skill points: 62_Berlin_XVAComplex (Platz Der Republik)
If you open a sewer hatch near the XVA entrance, then climb out and constantly close and open the hatch, you can endlessly gain experience points. (So much for bTrigger !)
Note: It appears that a spambot or something similar downloaded this file 29,714 times in January 2014. So if you want to know the more accurate download count, just subtract 29,714 from the current download count. Weird, wild stuff!
How long would a play trough be?
According to the main page, 7-13 hours.
Finally, after 5 hours, it's available for download! HOORAY!
Holy scifi, it's here! Oh yes! :)
character glitch Imageshack.us
i dont know why i have this or anybody else have it looked if it was hdtp but nope hope for a fix fast
Yup, you've got to disable JC and MJ12 Troop from the HDTP Options (and restart the game, unfortunately enough :|).
fixed it had jc disabled but ingame he used hdtp model isue was that global was on all it needed to be on custom
i thought global means items silly me XD
gues this is a fix for people that made the same mistake as i did
nice map design by the way poor pc cant take it its expanding the virtual memory when im playing it was nearly on 2 gb and still rising lol and this pc only has 512 mb ram XD
Downloading, i hope this will be as good as the Nameless Mod! :D
I also have extremely high expectations of this mod after playing the nameless mod. I feel like the later a mod comes out after the game comes out the better. This mod is coming out how long after deus ex was released? It's almost a 15 year aniversary mod
Time to reinstall Deus Ex.. again
Same here lol.

Why can't I set the resolution to 1920x1080? I have it set to that in the launcher but when the game loads it is 640x480 and 1600x1024 is the highest....
Odd, haven't heard of that issue before (I was able to choose 1920x1080 just fine from the launcher, though). Perhaps you could ask Kentie about the issue? ( Kentie.net )
Nono, I can select the resolution in the launcher just fine, but when the game actually loads it is not the resolution I've set. When I use the DeusEx original .exe it loads fine with the launcher's settings, it is only Nihilum's exe that won't load the set resolution for some reason.
Huh. No idea. :\
You could always trying copying the DeusEx.exe again (whether Kentie's launcher or not) and renaming the copy as fgrhk.exe.
And if that doesn't work, well, try opening the intro level of DXN (59_Intro) from DeusEx.exe and then starting a new game there (where you should be able to customize your character).
Thanks, I thought of opening the level manually but I didn't know what the name would be. That should work, I'm just reinstalling the game right now.
Success! For some reason, deleting everything and reinstalling did the trick
Do you have an enhanced DirectX/OpenGL renderer in use? If not, you should try it first. Cwdohnal.com
Also check your INI-files in your My Documents/Deus Ex folder.
Yes I do have those and tried both to no avail.... and I've checked My Documents and those .ini's have the same settings
This is really odd...
FastGamerr. thankyou, your game is a great addition to the Deus Ex universe, thanks for your time and effort and that of all those involved. (also Nihilum: what a great word!)
Mirrooooooooos!
To anyone who is having issues with adjusting brightness - trying to change your rendering device ingame will just change the original Deus Ex.
To change DXN's rendering device, go to the Deus Ex directory: DeusEx -> fgrhk -> System then open the configuration file 'fgrhk'.
Here you can edit GameRenderDevice=OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice to another renderer (can be found further down in the file), for example GameRenderDevice=D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice, this worked for me.
Don't know if anyone else is having this issue but thought I'd just post it here.
Archive is damaged
It's probably the general "sometimes the file hosted at GameFront gets corrupted" issue that seems to be common on ModDB. Try other mirrors than the GameFront one here: Moddb.com
If that doesn't help, try downloading version 1.0 from this link: Shacknews.com and the 1.1 patch from ModDB (or Shack News once again: Shacknews.com )
When I try to run the game I get the following error message.
"Ran out of Virual memory. To prevent this condition you must free up more space on your primary hard disk."
I have over 555 gigs free on my hard drive. What could be causing this.
Hmm. Check if these instructions can help you: Offtopicproductions.com
Tried the Page File Solution, set it to 8 gig, it did not work. Also tried from a completely fresh install which also did not work. I have 8Gigs of ram. And i checked task manager and nothing is eating up an inordinate amount of ram. The Crash is acting EXACTLY like the old TNM crash. One other thing it only happens when loading the Nihilim INI & Log I am running on Windows 7 64Bit if it makes any difference.
I have tried installing Kentie's EXE, DX10 Render, & the C++ Runtimes separately rather than through the installer. Same deal. The issue is unique to this mod. Its acting EXACTLY like the issue described in that thread. Crashing as soon as i launch the actual game.
Very odd issues (and your rig is better than mine for that matter!), and I'm all out of options :[
Aside from some straws that might help:
1) Have you tried running the fgrhk.exe under any compatibility mode (Windows XP SP3, 2000 etc.)?
2) Even though the installer is programmed to make a copy of your DeusEx.exe (in the DeusEx\System folder) and rename it fgrhk.exe, you could try doing the process manually.
3) Possibly even d/l Kentie's launcher straight from the source ( Kentie.net ) and rename the exe as fgrhk.exe in the DeusEx\System folder.
4) Kentie's launcher also makes copies of the INIs in My Documents, have you tried removing/editing those?
1)) First thing I tried
2) & 3) Last thing I tried
4) DID NOT THINK OF/FORGOT ABOUT THAT!
Deleting the INI's in My Documents did the Trick! Had I not forgotten about them that would have been one of the first things I tried. As soon as you mention them I facepalmed myself. Thanks!
Yay! Glad to hear it worked!
thanks for your help and quick replies :)
Really enjoying this so far, the design and gameplay is very much like Deus Ex, and the choice of locations so far has been quite nice and varied. Top job FastGamerr! :)
I've come across a few bugs so far (using 1.2), mostly DirectX10 lighting bugs but I won't mention those since that's not on your side. One bug I came across recently was when exiting XVA HQ and you proceed back down the Manhole, if you open and close that covering over and over you will be rewarded with 300 skill points each time. I'm sure this must just be how DX uses its triggers and events.
Ouch! Unlike the original game and Redsun2020, I really tried to avoid bugs like that in DXN (a certain similar credits bug is actually half-intentional). Doesn't warrant a full new update but I'll keep it in mind if I ever have to make one :] Glad to hear you've liked the mod in general, too!
I got around to finishing this over the last few days, and I enjoyed it very much. The overall somber tone helped with the Deus Ex feel, the areas were big and open (With some very sneaky hidden areas, nice!), the overall detail was quite nice (bar a few misleading doors and areas). The difficulty was good overall but did find it had a few spikes here and there, where it took a good while to get past enemies sneakily.
The length of the adventure is good, rivalling the majority of most AAA Games these days, but some of that may be just how Deus Ex is played ;)
The story was interesting and very conspiracy like, some good characters which unfortunately aren't revisited or seen again. I do think the game got a little bit Meta at some points but I guess that's what you were going for so no complaints on that!
The only thing that brought it down for me was Ingrams Voice. While the VO is good in some lines of dialogue, the majority of time I had to skip past conversations and read from the log, because the voice just started to grate after a while.
For me, Nihilum is up there with TNM, Zodiac and Redsun, is good fun throughout most of the adventure and has a brilliant soundtrack to boot!
(Sorry if this is a little long!)

WHOOOAA
Is the ModDB version for download DXN.2.7z already patched ?
And thanks for this great looking Mod. It's great to see mods for this very moddable game. Years ago I would look for some and there really were only a few not really finished ones, now years latter we have this great stuff !
Yes, this download has been patched to version 1.2. so it's up to date. Cheers!
great mod.
thanks for all the work u put into this.
There seems to be a problem with Kenties launcher's latest version and this mod. "Settings" and "Credits" buttons in the game menu are rendered on top of each other and the font of options is too big. I'm using version 5.3 of the launcher and D3D 10 renderer version 28. My screen resolution is 1900x1080. Other mods I am currently using are New Vision 1.5, Shifter and DX Enhanced. They work without problems with the base game. HDTP is however disabled because it causes problems with game menu.
I cannot download this mod because when i try to it finishes the download and then tells me to buy winzip and when i click cancel nothing else happens the mod is not installed and this has occured about 15 times what the hell is happening
Download alzip and learn what a .rar file is.
Need help. I'm getting lag with fast laptop and can't change renderer.
Does this work with GMDX?
Yup. You need to overwrite Vanilla Deus Ex's contents with GMDX's for it to work. There may be issues though (the only one I've heard of so far is the machine gun being semi-auto), as GMDX was not designed to work with other mods.
Is this mod standalone?
Yeah, you only need Deus Ex GOTY for this one. The DXN installer takes care of the rest. NV + HDTP are highly recommended, though (and need to be installed before DXN).
