Major Changes

• Fixed Area 51 Sectors 2 and 3 goals rando locations not working
• The Ballistic Protection aug now uses slightly less energy (when Augs Balance Changes are enabled), and has a shorter auto linger time (when Semi-Automatic Augs are enabled)
• On WaltonWare Gas Station, Ocean Lab, and Silo starts you can backtrack to Carla in Vandenberg (at the vanilla start, on the roof of the Command Center) to get the Vandenberg map

Revision

Minor Changes

If you don't know where to start with Deus Ex Randomizer, maybe this meme can help you!

If you've never played Deus Ex before at all, you can start with Zero Rando or Zero Rando Plus (the Plus variant adds some balance changes but still no randomization). Otherwise you can start with Rando Lite, Rando Medium, or if you're brave then Normal Randomizer.

Serious Rando is a new addition in v3.6, this game mode has goals rando enabled but without the silly locations. It also disables memes by default.

v3.6 also added the new WaltonWare Hardcore mode, which disables saving the game (perma death) and removes healing. See how far you can get!

Biggest Changes:

• New game modes:
  • Serious Rando: same as Full Rando but with some goal locations disabled, and memes disabled by default
  • Groundhog Day: your seed and settings will not be changed when completing the game and going to New Game+. Refine your run with each loop as you learn goal and item locations!
  • WaltonWare Hardcore: The WaltonWare experience, except ALL saving is disabled! You do not get healed after each loop. No medkits or medbots. How long can you last?
• Options for auto enabling auto augs when installed
• Pool tables are much improved
• Added scaling and blackout options for scopes and binoculars, with a cool automatic "Fit to Screen" option that doesn't rely on fixed size textures and adapts to any screen resolution/ratio

The speedrun category is for how many bingo boards can be done within an hour in the WaltonWare game mode.

Look out for the final match coming within a week or so!

This game mode is called WaltonWare. It gives you a random starting map, and a bingo board filled with goals that you can do within the area and nearby maps.

Once you complete 1 line on the bingo board it's a win and you move on to the next "loop" where you get a new random starting map and new bingo board.

It's been about 1 year since v3.0 let you pet the dogs and other animals. Here are some of the biggest things we've added since then.

• Many new game modes:
  • Halloween mode, WaltonWare Halloween, and other varieties - adds zombies, limited saves, and Mr. H who is a big invincible guy that roams the map and tries to smack you.
  • Mr. Page's Mean Bingo Machine - A new mode where you play through the whole game, but must complete a bingo line before being allowed to progress to the next mission. Once you get to the next mission, you are given a new bingo board!
  • Zero Rando Plus - like "Zero Rando" (no randomization, very vanilla) but Plus more quality of life additions and balance tweaks.
  • Speedrun Training mode - shows where possible goal locations are without spoiling them.
  • We split off the old "Normal Randomizer" mode into "Full Randomizer", with the new "Normal Randomizer" being a more welcoming game mode to learn the Randomizer.
  • Strong Augs mode - increases the strength of augmentations.
  • 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)

• Many new loadouts and augmentations:
  • The default "All Items Allowed" loadout now starts with the new inferior "Running Enhancement" instead of the old "Speed Enhancement". Choose the "Speed Enhancement" loadout if you want to start with that like before.
  • The Three Leg Augs loadout - Allows Running Enhancement, Jump Enhancement, and Run Silent. You start with one of them. Enables aug slot rando by default.
  • My Vision Is Augmented loadout - Allows Vision Enhancement, Short-Range Vision Enhancement, InfraVision, and Motion Sensor. You start with one of them. Enables aug slot rando by default.
  • Random Starting Aug (instead of Running Enhancement)
  • And more!

• Lots of balance changes
  • Allowing even more variety of play styles, especially with augmentations.
  • Balance changes are also now toggleable in the options. Disabled by default for Zero Rando, but most are enabled by default for Zero Rando Plus.
• More goals rando, especially for Gordon Quick, and Area 51.
• New augmentation slot randomization feature (so speed can be an eye aug)
• Multiple, rotating quicksave slots
• New menu to change current in-game settings
• Many new bingo goals and improvements to our bingo game modes!
• Deus Ex: Revision support is massively improved as a whole

• We're doing a speedrun marathon on Sunday for Deus Ex's 25th Anniversary! (June 22nd)
  • All of the Deus Ex games are here, including some runs of the Randomizer
  • Stream: https://twitch.tv/sumofbesties
  • Schedule: https://oengus.io/marathon/dx25/schedule/dx25
• Our speedrun leaderboard was created about a year ago: https://www.speedrun.com/dxrando (we split the leaderboard for a couple of big updates that changed the run a lot)
• We did 3 amazing speedrun races: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZIQTa_kwZhDZjz905W-hpORQ4S1Rj3a6
• We have a WaltonWare tournament soon! Stay tuned on my YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@die4ever2005/videos

A new world record!

He'll be playing in Bingothon on June 15th: https://oengus.io/marathon/bingos25/schedule/schedule#run-46178

13 is the most anyone has done in an hour, and we use the time of the last bingo finish as a tie breaker but this run didn't need that.

He played with some Halloween features enabled (notably, zombies and Mr. H)

NOTICES:

If you want to start with Speed Enhancement augmentation (improves running speed and jumping abilities) like previous versions, then select the loadout called "Speed Enhancement". Otherwise you will start with a new augmentation called "Running Enhancement" which only improves your running speed, with a chance to find "Speed Enhancement" in an aug can.

Also we want to do more speedrun races and content. If you can beat the game in less than 3 hours, or if you can do more than 4 loops of WaltonWare in 1 hour (use the new timer for this), then we need you! Come join our Discord or contact us anywhere else. Check out our new speedrun guide!

There is a savegame compatibility issue if you're in the middle of M06, M08, or M10, the safest time to update to v3.5 is when Jock is ready to take you to the next area.

Biggest Changes:

There are too many changes for this Lemmy, post, so check the Github release for the full list of changes: https://github.com/Die4Ever/deus-ex-randomizer/releases/tag/v3.5.0

We just released Deus Ex Randomizer v3.4.1, including recent big updates for the Zero Rando modes (no randomization modes). One of the biggest updates is putting all of our balance changes behind toggles - off by default in Zero Rando mode, but enabled in Zero Rando Plus by default.

• Vanilla Fixer: No gameplay changes, just compatibility fixes. Our installer ensures a smooth, battle-tested setup for modern systems with just a few clicks, inherited from Deus Ex Randomizer. Automatically installs Kentie's Launcher, D3D10 and other renderers, DXVK, Engine.dll fix for high framerates, and config tweaks.
• Zero Rando: The pure Deus Ex experience - with no randomization, just essential bug fixes and optional QoL improvements from DXRando.
• Zero Rando Plus: Same as Zero Rando, but with balance changes enabled (which you can still customize in the Rando ➜ Gameplay menu).

This is a fresh update, so if you spot anything that shouldn’t be enabled in Zero Rando, let us know! We're still constantly updating all of these game modes and the Randomizer.
