have been playing a bunch of old games i missed because my computer used to be shit. picked up a copy of Deus Ex from a friend, but he did say he had never played it on XP. apparently, there are some issues.

so i installed it, but whenever i click PLAY, i get this huge ass error message. excerpt:

code:
"Assertion failed: InPos<=Size" or "History: FArchiveFileReader::Seek>-ULinkerLoad::Seek"

any ideas? i wanna play

Are you running on the most current patch? What about your windows version? According to net-wisdom, it should run fine on XP. Were there any strange installation errors? Try flipping between OpenGL and Dx, make sure you're patched up, and make sure your drivers are up to date.

Weird; I had no trouble running it and I didn't install any patches. I also played it again recently; awesome game

The GOTY edition works fine. The older one needs a patch.

PS. BEST GAME EVER!
