I originally posted this on Steam and copied it here for anyone to use
CONFIRMED to work with the GOG GotY version of Deus Ex, those with original need to update that to v1.112fm which can be downloaded from the Deus Exe site
Deus Exe also linked from the PC Wiki page linked below.
Steam only Mod
For those of us who've bought this game anywhere but Steam. This Steam only release is a slap in the face, it's irrelevant how much the game may cost on Steam, but not coincidence that the sale coincided.
Those saying, "but it's only costs a small amount in the sale", don't get the point. It's sets a precedent, a bad one.
Making the game only work with the Square Enix sold Steam version, when Square Enix didn't originally make this game at all, is just wrong.
The principle that mods should work with any copy of the game, whatever store sold it, requires defending all the time.
Suggesting a low price sale of that game, somehow makes it acceptable, is also wrong, What price does it becomes unnacceptable at?
Restricting any mod of a game to a single retailers version is wrong and the price makes no difference at all.
Saying that another thread already exists about this subject (On Steam Forums).
This ones really about fixing the issue and the above just explains what the problem is.

It's apparently quite easy to fix and I've just found this
[url=http://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Deus_Ex:_Revision#Run_without_Steam]Deus Ex: Revision - Run without Steam - PCGamingWiki PCGW[/url]
I've now tried it out and PC Gaming Wiki is a realiable site that only posts known fixes to game setups.
You need to download the standalone version from ModDB or the Games site
ModDB
Deus Ex: Revision mod - Mod DB
Deus Ex: Revision Site
Download Revision | Deus Ex: Revision
Using Steam Client links in a Browser
One point on the links, to use them in your browser and not in the Steam Client.
Copy the Link Address, paste in Notepad and remove
steam://openurl/
or
https://steamcommunity.com/linkfilter/?url=
section from in front of the http section.
Then you can use the web address and download the file as normal.
I will add an update to this post, once the mods downloaded and I've tried this method.
{Update}
If you get a Missing
msvcp140.dll
File (Numbers can be different) You need one of these, better to have all and I found the x86 version was needed, even on my x64 PC, which isn't that unusual with older games.
Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable v10·0·40219·1 (x86 required for missing msvcp140.dll)
Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable v12·0·30501
Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable v14·0·23026
Versions are on the Details tab in Properties of vcredist_x64.exe for that year, not on MS site.
You may need to restart the PC though I didn't.
