About

Code here is decompiled with IDA Pro, manually cleaned up, uninlined and rewritten to use templates. The README states it is not a matching decompilation and there is no workflow to merge its functions with those of the binary.

Getting started

Running it requires a copy of Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director's Cut. Build for Linux 32-bit (using dxvk-native), Windows 32-bit on Linux, or Windows 32-bit with Visual Studio, then set the BIGFILE variable to the path of BIGFILE.000 and run the binary.

History

The README says there has been no source leak, but a debug info leak for Tomb Raider (2013), a different game with a similar engine, has been used; the first commit integrating it is dated 14 July 2022.

What you need to run it

Original game files required. The project ships code only; you provide your own copy of the game.

How to install

Set BIGFILE to the path of the game's BIGFILE.000, then run dxhr on Linux or dxhr.exe on Windows.
If the game is installed through Steam on Windows or Wine, its files will be detected automatically.
