If you're experiencing objects warping and drawing on top of each other incorrectly when using the D3D10 renderer, you need to install the 2010 x86 Visual C++ Redistributable package, which you can get from Microsoft here. Alternatively, you can use the D3D9 or OpenGL renderer (and check the Rando ➜ Visuals menu for Brightness Boost).

New Game Modes
- Mr. Page's Mean Bingo Machine: A new mode where you play through the whole game, but must complete a set number of bingo lines before being allowed to progress to the next mission. Once you get to the next mission, you are given a new bingo board!
- Special handling for Anna and Walt in Mean Bingo Machine
- Since they can be difficult to avoid killing, they needed special care to reduce impossible bingo goals on future mission bingo boards
- 50% chance for Anna to be deleted from Mission 4, and Walt from Mission 14, so the bingo goals to kill them on a future board would always be possible
- The other 50% chance leaves them but bans the goal from appearing on the future bingo boards
- Special handling for Anna and Walt in Mean Bingo Machine
- One Item Mode: Our new dumbest game mode! All items in a map will be replaced with a single type of item (eg. all flares, all biocells, or all beers)
Major Changes
- Give the security computer in Mission 5 MJ12 Lab with Paul's camera the special computer skin, since it reveals Paul's randomized location
- Aug Canisters now show the aug location in the description and also show the stats and description of the augs contained within
- Augs can now receive randomized slots (so speed can be an eye aug)
- On NG+, augs are first removed based on newly assigned slots, then more get removed only if you didn't lose enough already
- Setting is a % chance for each aug to be assigned a new random slot (100% means all augs will have a randomly assigned slot, 50% means half will retain their original slot)
- Deus Ex: Revision support is massively improved as a whole (see below)
- Fixed issue with bingo goal scaling when changing Bingo Duration in the Advanced Settings
- Many fixes for bingo goals and mid-mission starts
Major Deus Ex: Revision Changes
- Music Randomization is now supported for the Revision and PS2 soundtracks!
- Added "Goal Locations" button to Revision goals screen
- Hacking Computers in Revision now uses energy (and has the Use Biocell button)
- Fixed Zombie respawning for Revision-modified MJ12 Troops
- Fixed Datacubes not being shuffled in Revision

- We've seen some confusion with Limited Fixed Saves. When you have a Memory Containment Unit in your inventory (or 2 for the new Extreme version) you only need to have the box highlight on the computer and then you can use the normal Save Game menu or Quicksave button. The only freebie autosave you get is at the very start of the game. Make sure to save before going to Battery Park! Sometimes you might want to backtrack to save. Remember that if you die not all is lost, because you now have a better plan!
Changes
- Fixed Mr. H from counting in the M04 raid enemy counter
- Fixed zombie Howards preventing Silo from completing
- Disable infolink about MJ12 if Paris is Chill
- Added Paris elevator call button at the top
- Some fixes for endgame cutscenes and NG+

Major Changes
- You can now pet the dog! And other animals too. With bingo goals.
- Loot Refusal for looting carcasses.
- Check your defaults in the Rando -> Gameplay menu.
- On your inventory screen you have buttons to mark items as trash or not trash, these are only remembered for the current run (since the stats change every run/seed). Marking an item as trash will also drop it.
- Trash items will fall from carcasses when you loot them instead of going into your inventory, but you can still pick them up from there.
- Turn off any glow on datacubes once you've read them, which helps finding datacubes that are close together.
- Reworked Synthetic Heart aug. It no longer uses energy on its own, it just multiplies the energy cost of the boosted augs.
- Reworked Spy Drone aug. Energy cost is reduced greatly, but detonating the Spy Drone now costs 10 energy. (You can disable the aug for free.)
- Fixed jail reducing your ammo, especially for grenades.
- Speedrun mode now defaults to realtime menus. Fixed the crash when changing levels with windows open. Also autorun is a little smarter now. By the way, we now have an official speedrun leaderboard on https://www.speedrun.com/dxrando

If you don't know what Deus Ex Randomizer is, then here's our old trailer which shows a breakdown of how it works:
Here's a trailer for WaltonWare mode. WaltonWare mode is focused on quick wins by completing a single bingo line, and increasing difficulty after every win. The bingo goals are all scaled to their minimum settings and you start in a random area. All bingo goals will be completable within just a few maps!
Here's a trailer for our new Mirrored Maps feature in v2.5. Play through the game with a random mix of mirrored maps, which will keep you on your toes even more than the randomizer has before!
See the full README here. Also check out our Discord and Mods4Ever.com
Major Changes
- Simplified barrels to combine multiple variants that did the same thing. Also added optional new textures to make it even clearer (look in the Rando menu).
- Weapons that fall out of enemy hands due to damage now have ammo
- M14 Silo: Howard radio room closer to window, and added computer in machine shop
- Added option to automatically put away in-hand items when trying to pick up decorations
- Nerfed automatic power recirculator slightly
- Gas colliding with enemies is now more consistent
- You now start with 6575 skill points, and Zero Rando defaults to Trained pistol with 5000 points remaining like vanilla does (except without the exploit/bug with untraining pistol)
- More goal locations mutual exclusions, to reduce the difference between best seed and worst seed for each mission
- M02 subway vents start and subway ambrosia because of easy skill points
- M02 warehouse alley generator and sewer jock, this combo was too easy
- M08 the 2 bar locations, bar is still the best place to check but now you can't get both Harley and Vinny in the bar at the same time
- M12 starting front gate and exiting at front gate, because that's too much walking back and forth, also slightly moved front gate start forwards where Tong normally is
