Quelques jours avant la sortie européenne de Deus Ex 2 (annoncée pour le 5 mars), Eidos et ION Storm Austin sortent enfin le patch 1.2 pour la version américaine du FPS/RPG de Warren Spector.
Les corrections apportées par le patch concernent principalement des bugs graphiques. Mais la grosse amélioration devrait être à chercher du côté des performances, qui sont annoncées comme « optimisées ». Ce patch 1.2 contient également les changements du patch 1.1.
Pour le téléchargement de la petite douzaine de Mo, vous avez le choix entre NoFrag, 3D Gamers, Fileshack, Filefront, Eidos, ActionTrip, Avault, Gamespot et Deus Ex Zone.
Si vous avez acheté la version US sur Xbox du jeu, vous n’avez plus qu’à en acheter la version européenne pour profiter de ces changements.[–SUITE–]Le Changelog :
