In System Rift, Adam assists his friend and former colleague at Sarif Industries, in hunting down information on the mysterious Santeau Group. Desperate to get more information, Pritchard targets one of the most secure data banks ever created – the Palisade Blade. In agreeing to help, Adam may also be able to uncover hints as to who the Illuminati really are.
We have also just released another PC patch for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, v1.7 build 551.7_P7. This patch focusses on DLC and critical issues that were reported by users during the last weeks after the awaited DirectX 12 Graphics API release.

The following fixes are in this patch:
Added support for the Jensen Story: System Rift
Added Lens Flare option.
Improvement of Tobii EyeTracking's cover at gaze: Better responsiveness. Separate the responsiveness setting from Extended View. Filter the gaze point harder to get better snapping.
Tobii EyeTracking's gun arm at gaze (new feature). When using Nanoblade, P.E.P.S or Tesla augmentations, the gun arm will aim in the direction of your gaze, quick shoot by releasing the trigger early or hold for continued aiming.
Fixed an issue where Extended view is enabled when shopping.
Fixed an issue where Extended view - Gun arm weapon reticles are moving.
Various crash and bug fixes.
UPDATE: Fixed issue with Tessellation and some cables in Prague.
Release of DirectX 12 support in Deus Ex: Mankind Divided:
Users are able to utilize the awaited DirectX 12 Graphics API. To activate this you are required to do the following:
Within your Steam Library, right-click on Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.
Select ‘properties’ from the context menu and navigate to the Beta tab.
From the dropdown menu, select dx12_preview then close the window.
After the game has downloaded the DirectX 12 supported build you can then toggle DirectX 12 from either the launcher window or from the Display options within the game.
Note that DirectX 12 requires a restart of the game if (de-)activated from within a running Deus Ex: Mankind Divided game session.
o WARNING: Using the DirectX 12 API can offer better performance on some systems, however, it will not be beneficial on all.
o Multi-GPU is not yet supported in this patch.
o If you encounter problems with DirectX 12, we recommend turning it off again. There are no visual or gameplay differences between the two DirectX versions.
o Stereoscopic 3D with DX12 is supported on AMD, but on new windows versions “3D display mode” must be enabled through the Windows “Advanced display settings” menu.
o As always, make sure that your drivers are up to date.
The following fixes are in this patch for DX12:
Fixed an issue where some object would appear black.
Fixed a shadow issue.
Improved DirectX 12 CPU usage.
Various performance improvements and bug fixes.
Known DX12 issue:
There is a known bug that causes some very high end cards to regress relative to DirectX11. Improvements have been made but this is being further investigated by the development team.
While we expect this patch to be an improvement for everyone, if you do have trouble with this patch and prefer to stay on older versions, we have made a Beta available on Steam, v1.0_build524.6, v1.0_build524.7, v1.1_build524.10, v1.2_build524.15, v1.3_build524.17, v1.4_build545.4 and v1.4_build545.5 that can be used to switch back to previous versions.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is coming to Mac using Apple’s Metal graphics API, ensuring the right level of polish for Deus Ex on the OS. Linux is in on the action too as the series comes to the platform for the first time ever.
System requirements for both Mac and Linux versions will be announced closer to launch.
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided - Patch 5 and DX12 Support
Today, we’re pleased to announce that we’re releasing the first preview version of DirectX 12 for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. If you already own Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, you will notice that the DX12 preview version has been launched as a separate branch, which can be activated in the ‘Betas’ tab within the Steam properties of the main game. We are doing this because we want to have the full involvement of the community as we push towards our final DX12 release, occurring on the week of September 19th, 2016, which will include DX12 multi-GPU support. We know that the preview version may have some minor hiccups, so your feedback will be critical to make sure that the final release is as good as it can possibly be. If you run into any issues, or have any comments, please do not hesitate to contact us and let us know!
You'll find below the full notes for our latest patch. Thanks for all your support, and we hope you’re enjoying the game!

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided - Launch Trailer
The last few days before the launch of a game are always quite special and exciting. There’s as much anticipation from you, the players, as from all the people who’ve worked on their game. Everyone of us here at Eidos-Montréal can’t wait for the release of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided – it almost feels a bit unreal to think it’s so close now!
We’re excited to share today the launch trailer for our game, which is coming out August 23rd.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vx_P10rHii4
In 2029, the oppression of the mechanically augmented has created a climate of fear and resentment, resulting in an escalation of crime and acts of terror. Amid all the chaos, Adam Jensen goes after are the Illuminati, the men and women responsible for tearing the world apart.
Deus Ex is all in details and we’re excited to see how you’ll tackle the challenges that await, and which choices you’ll make to shape your story. We can’t wait for you all to play our game and tell us about your experiences!
DirectX 12 Support in Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
The Deus Ex franchise originated on PC, and we’re passionate about continuing to provide the best experience possible to our long-time fans and players on the PC.
Contrary to our previous announcement, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, which is shipping on August 23rd, will unfortunately not support DirectX 12 at launch. We have some extra work and optimizations to do for DX12, and we need more time to ensure we deliver a compelling experience. Our teams are working hard to complete the final push required here though, and we expect to release DX12 support on the week of September 5th!
We thank you for your patience, passion, and support.
