- Runs well on old PCs thanks to low system requirements.
General information
- Official website
- Dota 2 wiki
- Official forums
- Developer forums - Great place to find information on the game's ongoing development.
- Dota 2 subreddit - Good place for general discussions, tips and tweaks.
Availability
- Reddit is the best hub for free beta invitations.
Improvements
Launch options
- To access the game's launch options: right click Dota 2 in Steam's library window > Properties > Set launch options...
- If you use multiple launch options, separate them with a space (e.g.,

).

-novid | Disables intro videos. |
-noforcemaccel -noforcemspd -useforcedmparms | Disables mouse acceleration. |
-high | Assigns a high CPU priority to the game's client. |

|
General tweaks
- To use these tweaks you need to create a file called
autoexec.cfg
and save it in the configuration folder.[1][2] - Each tweak must be in a separate line, and contain a string and a value (e.g.,
dota_screen_shake "0"
).
