My problem is a rather simple one:
When running Deus Ex: GOTY on Steam, the game crashes when in the Battery Park level, near the vent section, leaving a critical error message:
I'm running the game on Linux through Proton 4.11.
I tried running Deus Ex in safe mode, but the game still crashed.

There is a fix here:
-hax0r
parameter in the launch options. This enables cheat mode.say
that's entered by default on a new command line, and typeplayersonly
. This will freeze all other entities, only to temporarily prevent them from running right into problems again, giving you more time to terminate the buggy entity.killall deusex.terrorist
to eliminate the faulty entities in your current game.playersonly
again to resume normal play.Alternatively, try out the replacement executable (neatly named Deus Exe) from that same link.
