Deus Ex: Invisible War DVD Edition - garbled text

[bramdez]

I've just downloaded otiscrusher's DX2IW DVD ISO and burned it to DVD (using CloneCD) . The thing is, everything 'seems' to be there i.e. file sizes check out normally, no download problems or anything, but when I try to install, the installer's text is all %^µ*ed up. Same thing for readme files.

It's very well possible that the game files are still intact... but before I guess my way through the install process I'd like to make sure no-one's had the same problem?

Checking .sfv with QuickSFV v2.36 shows everything hunky dory, so I'm at a loss here. Last thing I can think of is that I'm missing a character set or something.

I think what you got there is a non-english version. Probably a russian installer, without the language support you just get a string of meaningless characters. Otiscrusher usually ups original english versions, so it's a little strange, but if you just 'feel' your way through the install process you'll get the english version when it's all said and done.

bramdez he uploaded a Russian DVD version with higher movie bit rate and sound quality , install menu is only in Russian but you should be not alerted by this because this game is in English

so just do your thing , you know how to install a game don't you and have fun with it

Oh, when you're installing, keep your eye out incase there's a drop-down selector to select the language. My copy of Half Life 2 is like that, it defaults to russian, but you can pick 'english version' from a dropdown menu.

Thanks for the advice people. I really appreciate it.

Yup, I know how to install a game and while I'm at it I'll install a cyrillic char set. That way I still won't have a %^µ*ing clue as to what it actually says, but at least I'll be cool

BTW, thanks otiscrusher, for getting this up on the site.

Install Cirylic language set and you should see russian text then.
