The Deus Ex: Human Revolution conspiracy grows deeper in The Missing Link. During Adam's quest for the truth in Deus Ex: Human Revolution, he mysteriously vanishes for three days. Where was he? What did he find out? The Missing Link reveals it all.

After being tortured by Belltower agents and having his augmentations disabled, Adam Jensen must rely solely on his basic capabilities to escape from a freighter, destined for an unknown location. While fighting for his survival on the ship, he uncovers another layer to the conspiracy that he never would have suspected. As Adam, befriend new, mysterious allies and fight ruthless enemies to discover what was happening in the shadows during the events of Deus Ex: Human Revolution!

-New layers of conspiracy unveiled
-Sprawling new environments
-Brand-new characters to interact with
-Rebuild Adam's augmentation set from scratch. Build up a brand new Adam!

What is The Missing Link? You'll find out soon...

So we lose all our augmentations in the new DLC

So I haven't been keeping up with new and sure didn't want to open a new thread to ask:

Has there been any news on the pre-order DLCs being made avaiable for everyone?

I just fear that it'll be the same as was with Infamous 2 pre-order DLC which came out a few weeks ago: I played through the game twice months ago, I don't care that it was released now. Back then I would've really appreciated it, though.

No need to search for them, the FAQs thread has been updated at the end with a list of the latest discussions, together with links.

PC version's getting patched very, very soon. Here are the notes:


"The new patch addresses a variety of issues as well as adds some new features:

Fixes:
- We have addressed various issues that can occur for players that would result in ‘stuttering’.
o Stutters that are the result of graphics driver shader processing are now removed or significantly reduced.
o Stutters that are the result of data streaming have been removed or significantly reduced.
o Performance has been improved and made more stable on dual-core systems. This could previously also result in stuttering.
- Fixed issue where some players couldn’t complete the Motherly Ties side quest.
- Fixed an issue where doors in Omega Ranch sometimes wouldn’t open.
- The TYM medical card should no longer fall through the table if an NPC’s body comes into contact with the card. Players already stuck in this area will need to revert to a previous save before the card fell through.
- Occasional hangs for some players during video-playback have been fixed.
- A crash on startup when running DX11 on a single-core CPU has been fixed.
- An issue causing Eyefinity setups to not be correctly detected for some players has been fixed.
- Fixed an issue where the HUD would get permanently disabled for some players.
- Fixed certain issues that caused the mouse cursor to be able to leave the game-screen on multi-monitor setups.
- Fixed an issue that caused the mouse cursor to not be visible in-game when the user has mouse trails enabled in Windows. We still recommend disabling mouse trails for a smoother in-game mouse cursor.
- Fixed issue where ammo count for collected guns is incorrect when Adams weapon is augmented.
- In DX9 mode:
o Fixed error message for some users when trying to use FXAA Medium or FXAA Low anti aliasing modes.
o Fixed shadow-mapping ‘lines’ on some graphics hardware when using anisotropic filtering.

Feature Additions:
- The Enter and Numpad-Enter keys can now be bound to game actions in the keyboard control menu.
- Intro logos can now be skipped on all but the first run of the game.
- Added windowed mode.
o Selectable in the menu, and can be toggled between windowed, fullscreen, and fullscreen windowed using ALT-ENTER.
- Added an option to change the text language of the game. This setting only changes the text language, the audio is controlled by the language option in Steam.

On top of this we are continuing to monitor for any issues that may need to be addressed in a future patch. One extra feature we can already confirm for a future patch is support for Nvidia 3DVision and Nvidia Surround."

This is amazing. I didn't experience any of the mentioned glitches, although I'm glad other users will benefit from the fixes, but adding new FEATURES in the patches because of the community's opinions?

EM continues to outdo itself. I applaud you guys, really caring for your product from day one all the way through post-release issues. Stellar.

Excellent!

[Ashpolt]

Really glad to hear that you'll be able to skip the intro vids, that's good stuff.

No mention of a fix for the DX11 steam overlay flicker (which also stops me taking screenshots using F12) unfortunately, though. Hopefully in the next patch!

Awesome, that patch fixes quite a few little problems I had noticed. Plus a few awesome extras like skippable menus. A++ would patch again.

[JCpie]

Did the photo at the memorial in the Sarif Industries lobby get enlarged or retextured? It looks good now. Previously I could barely make anything out.
