Paul Denton disappeared glitch - solution
By B00M3RSH00T3R
After sending a signal to the NSF you are supposed to return to Paul Denton at the hotel. Well there is a glitch when you go back to the hotel he is not there. Here is a quick quide that will fix this problem. I take no credit for this guide. All the credit belongs to cowking. I just thought it would be easier for other gamers to find this in the guide section.

Paul Denton Disappeared Glitch - Solution

There's this bug in patch v1.112fm (I guess the steam version is automatically patched up to this), where Paul Denton has disappeared from his hotel room after you've sent the NSF signal.

I'm just posting the solution here because I just had this bug myself while replaying DX1, really jarateed me off because I didn't want to replay hours so I figured out how to fix it. Maybe this will help someone if they find this thread through google or something.

Solution A - when you're dropped off in Hell's Kitchen, enter the hotel through Paul's window, and leave through the front door. Never exit the hotel through Paul's window. This can prevent you from getting this bug in the first place.

Solution B - in case you've already in the point where paul has gone MIA, you need to use the console.

Press t, (always delete the "say")

Type "set DeusEx.JCDentonMale bCheatsEnabled true" (without " " marks)

Type "summon PaulDenton"

Now exit the hotel through the window, and go back inside through the window. This will make Paul's skin change if you're not using the default skin.

Type "legend", this will bring up a small window with buttons. Click edit flags.

You need to delete (or set to false) the following flags to make Paul talk to you. I didn't typecheck every flag but you should easily find them even if I have a spelling error in the name.

M4_RaidTeleportDone M4_RaidBegan Paul_LeftHotel

If you have some of the following, delete them also.

Paul_Dead Player_BailedThroughWindow

Go talk to Paul and you can progress in the game normally, although I haven't found a way to make Paul stay friendly if you attack the MIBs instead of leaving through the window.
