Deus Ex: Invisible War PC Patch V 1.1 Available Now

The first official patch is now available for Deus Ex: Invisible War PC. This patch, V 1.1, offers a variety of changes to the retail release of Deus Ex: Invisible War. See the list below for a complete run-down of said changes. While this patch will address many of the thoughts, comments and feelings of the gaming community, it is likely not the final patch that will be released.

This is what the Ion Storm and the Deus Ex: Invisible War team have to say about the patch:

"We've posted a patch that upgrades Deus Ex: Invisible War to version 1.1. It fixes some minor problems related to bad configuration settings, it takes into account some interface feedback we've received and it enhances the game in a number of other ways. (The patch includes a readme file that details the changes.)

We wanted to patch the PC version of the game first, but our plans also include uploading a new version of the Deus Ex: Invisible War demo at some point in the near future.

We'd like to thank the people on the forums for helping us collect data for the first Deus Ex: Invisible War patch. We're currently working on another patch for the future, mostly related to deeper optimizations. Keep watching this space for further updates."
