Apple's exclusive hosting of the multiplayer patch for Deus Ex seems to have been a raging success, with many fans of this apocalyptic shooter rediscovering this game and taking online play for a spin. MacGameFiles visitors have rated the patch quite highly, giving it a 4.5 joystick rating overall (out of 5) with eight full-score ratings so far.

However, many have also reported problems installing the patch, ranging from a failed install to a game that wouldn't run. Therefore we though we'd post a reminder that the patch MUST be installed over a "clean" copy of Deus Ex, not one that has been updated to 1.01. Furthermore if you have installed any of the other gameplay modifiers available for Deus Ex these might have to be deinstalled as well. The best way to add the MP patch is over a clean install of the game itself.

If you have yet to download this patch, jump to the Apple Games page to grab it; if you are new to Deus Ex or have yet to purchase the solo version of this game, read through our review or grab the demo.
