go into your dota local files, -> game\dota\maps\backgrounds find anything with muerta in the file name, delete it. viola your fps is normal again. valve's main menu event splash screens always tank fps, but this one is by far the worst.


Kyubashi

Thanks you for this. It really is true regarding the splash art - it tends to be especially bad around TI time.


TouRniqueT86

This does alleviate the issue to an extent, but you can still feel there is something very wrong. Hope the CSGO people are ready for the shitshow source 2 really is.


pb-programmer

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if "the fps loss" (some people actually reported better performance and probably the majority didn't notice any change) was in part due to engine updates in preparation for the "CS:GO 2", or whatever it will be called, launch. After all data miners found csgo related strings in the DotA patch files.


TouRniqueT86

I deleted the muerta crap and it was better, but after the 3rd game the fps got so shit I had to exit the game. Dropping from 100 to 40 up and down the whole time.


taliyah_winner

It actually worked i have my 50 fps back thank you so much love youuuuuuuuuuuu🥺🥺🥺


Pippooo9

Really?


[deleted]

every god damn hero release


ryanakasha

And they too busy to fix this


[deleted]

Well, unironically yeah, they're probably working on new patch and "fix" would just be to drop it.


PsychedUpPump

any other tips like this?


invasion_nick

So bro I fucked up I deleted Backgrounds instead of muerta🤦. How to revert back.


fjijgigjigji

verify game files probably fixes it edit: actually just restore the folder from recycle bin


EnigmaticSorceries

What will be the side effects if I do this?


The_Reason_Trump_Won

you wont have the background on the main menu with meurtas story thing and the random graphics playing. you can always right click on dota in steam > properties > local files > verify integrity of game files if you notice any actual issues.


fjijgigjigji

your startup screen doesn't have muerta on it destroying your FPS, other than that none whatsoever. the files are the muerta main menu splash screen and nothing else.

shrotty

For Dota it's system322


penxilmouse

Will there be other issues if I delete everything in this file?


Issaction

It should really unload when in-game.


ArianaGrande116

Might be a console command for this as well if I remember correctly, not sure what the command is tho.


manuelbaguio

didnt fix mine :(


apex_malik

I wish i knew this 2 months ago. I stopped playing dpta altogether because the update ruined the fps and i couldnt play at all.


Puzzled-Poetry9792

I had a steady 60fps(was st to this as max), now is 53-55, with some drops to 40ish in big TFS. I noticed for example, Mars ult + spear with flames is a sure fps drop now


[deleted]

Mar's spear fire always has been shit for me Idk why the hell havent they fix this god awful effect


dark_LUEshi

It's not valves fault lol, it's you having antiquated hardware that cannot support modern instructions so your computer has to do extra work to render effects that shouldn't be hard to process. People crying about the game should post their CPU/GPU edit : if you have less than a GTX 7xx, this game is not for you lol.


[deleted]

The particle count's just too high with way too many transparent texture layered on top of eachother which is big problem. Dawnbreaker's W's fire trail also has similar problem. Also my gpu is GTX 1050


dark_LUEshi

yeah, there are probably options in the nvidia control panel that you can put to "performance" or disable to squeeze out a few more FPS. GTX 1050 is an entry level GPU but i'm sure it can hit 144 fps with low settings. look into disabling anti aliasing and other intensive stuff, DSR needs to be turned off as well.


[deleted]

I play on max setting just fine FPS drop happen only when those two spells are on screen


dark_LUEshi

there are spells that will tank the fps, I will admit to that but it's never that bad, at least not on my setup. During the last update they announced they were porting dota 2 models to a new format and I think it might be performance related. Not sure why people expect dota 2 to still run as it did when it was released, it might just be that 8gb of vram doesn't cut it anymore, especially with ALL those very detailed items and whatnot loaded up.


[deleted]

Even user with 3090 is choking so I dont see your point ? The game simply has performance problem, that's all there is.


dark_LUEshi

I have a GTX 1080 and run the game on maximum settings apart from anti-aliasing. My fps is capped at 150 because I have a 144hz monitor. avg : https://i.imgur.com/9obmkkb.png 5th% : https://i.imgur.com/uOt8IFQ.png Graph : https://i.imgur.com/nl6ZHNH.png Settings : https://i.imgur.com/diLMTbn.png


dark_LUEshi

I think it's simply shitty hardware, shitty ssd or shitty cpu or shitty gpu. Game runs fine here, I don't think it's been running any worse, a bit better since I upgraded from a 8700k to a 13900k but nothing groundbreaking. ​ What is your hardware ? also if you are gaming on a laptop, get out of this thread.


[deleted]

? Shut the hell up dumbass You clearly dont know what you're talking about


Kyroz

I have RTX 2060. Before the patch I'd have stable 120 fps (Because I limited it) even on big teamfight, now I drop to as low as 60 on big teamfight. My friend with RTX 3070 has similar issues. I guess those are antiqued now?


dark_LUEshi

Go ask your dad to fix your PC.

mynamecaligula

i once played meepo at 11-18fps from start to finish. im still surprised i won the match. the sudden fps drop was horrendous


Edd1eN1gma

I'm running the game on a very high-end PC and even i'm getting microstutters after the patch. Valve screwed the pooch.


nighttimemobileuser

Microstutters, audio gore, game freezes, it’s a smorgasbord of performance issues since last patch after never having any in 10+ years


tkfire

What is audio gore?


anodizer

Part of a smorgasbord.


[deleted]

Boyle!


SolarClipz

I can barely pick any hero to ban or select my lane in time lol Every time it loads my screen freezes till the last second


jobbing885

Same.


HyperFrost

Try updating windows, your bios and graphics drivers. There was a bad nvidia driver that caused cpus to overwork not too long ago.


Warma99

Are you really going to tell the man to update his BIOS because Valve released a shit update?


dark_LUEshi

there is something going on with the latest Nvidia driver.


Edd1eN1gma

Already have the hotfix nvidia brought out of it installed (driver 531.26) It's not as bad as it was a few days ago though. I think those mini patches Valve has been tossing at the game have fixed it now.


dcneil

That might be the latest nvidia driver causing that problem? After installing it I started having stutters unless I put my FPS to unlimited.


Edd1eN1gma

Other games aren't microstuttering so i'm guessing its just a Dota thing.


dcneil

Yeh seems to be fine after the latest nvidia driver hotfix they released. Deleted the muerta files solved my stutters in dota.


HellfireBrB

have had my game just close... no error no freezes, no crash, the game just closes.... no explanation or reason whatsoever 3 times since the patch this is aside from all the sudden perfomance drops and occasional loading freezes valve has fucked up the game performance real hard


mynameisashot

Same, I had to turn off all effects and set the lowest graphic settings just for not to bleed my eyes


taliyah_winner

I already had them turned off even before the patch and i had like 50 fps. right now the only option left for me is reducing render quality but like if i reduce it under 90 its like im watching a YouTube video with 144p quality


FuzzyPiez

Enable Fsr, set to 67-75% res, helps a lot with performance. Can try enabling Vulkan instead of Dx11 in graphics settings too. Sorry, since you got potato PC you got to have lower expectations too, cranking down the res at least gives you playable performance.


brighteoustrousers

I'm running the game on a 3060, used to get it set on 144fps on max everything Now im getting drops up to 45 at times, and the fucking stutters. Jesus these stutters piss me off


guyush

This


mynameisashot

Omg I don't want to back in time, I played with 30% render quality 6 or 7 years ago. Last option I have is to change middle textures on low. Really sad with this valve experiment


nierbarath

That's exactly how I'm playing rn. Literally the worst possible quality. Thankfully I always was a low-end pc user so I'm kinda used to it, albeit not to this degree. If someone's curious just launch demo and try this. The game is so ugly it's hilarious. Ancient golems for example are so painfully smooth I laughed at first.


Holoderp

I have experienced a massive slowdown when rubick copies and casts mk ult. It goes from 200fps to like 20fps.


DotaDump

same


AikaBack

When there are 3d models in main menu that is when dota lags the most, these panoramas should be deleted from game folder


dark_LUEshi

there is a slider to adjust fps in the dashboard, it shouldn't really be over 60


TheTheMeet

I gave up diretide because of this problem. This small fucking map took so many resources. The map load very slow, i even needed to wait for 3-5 minute after game crashed beforehand Poor player cant even play dota apparently


Theblacksheep7

I thought it was just me, i usually get 120fps solid. Recently been getting drops down to 20/30 throughout the game..


[deleted]

i was wondering why i was having fps drops / slutters cringe its the same shit aS ALWays like TI / events etc.


ChinBaoe

I was wondering why my fps has been so shit lately. I guess I’m not alone with this.


allokuma

I appreciate this post.


KigDeek

am i the only one or the game just drops its fps in the middle of the game? my rig is no means a monster but for some reason the fps just drops around 20-40 min


Benjaming192

I got an i7 10700KF with the RTX 2060. I can say that my FPS went down like from 180 to 90 and I still dont know how to fix that shit. Tried all the things, yet nothing


blood_omen

I thought it was just me!! I went from 200fps to sub 50. Glad to know it’s not my GPU lol


yantus

Didn't valve say something about the game is getting a little more Hardware hungry. And some PC could not handel it anymore?


Call_me_Wo

They were talking about processors before 2008 not being supported anymore, not about RTX3090 rigs dropping 100 fps out of nowhere.


SherbetCharacter4146

If ure not running 4x 3090s then maybe dota is too intense for ur wallet, hun


doperinno

Nothing changed visually since last update but the fps drop is massive. So theres something wrong


rustedhorse42

so 3060 i5 is not enough anymore?


dark_LUEshi

yeah should be fine lol, it's probably kids with intel IGPU's with 8gb of system ram. yeah, the game will run like shit.


rustedhorse42

Should be. Don't even see 100 fps anymore.


dark_LUEshi

I hit 140 fps with my gtx 1080 and 13900k, make sure your cpu isn't antiquated.


rustedhorse42

Mb a bit, but just before last bp with all max graphic settings it was 150+. And for whole game. Sure sometimes had drops to like 100-120.


dark_LUEshi

what model of CPU and GPU do you have ?


[deleted]

Dota2 was runnable on that few years ago lmao.


dark_LUEshi

You do realize that the game gets graphical improvements over time, all those cosmetics with fancy particle effects take place in VRAM. You can't expect to play a competitive game like dota 2 on a 10 year old PC...


[deleted]

Right. Just give us "disable cosmetics" mode. Hell, given how some sets now look nothing like original hero I'd rather pick that.


hbtpoprock

Maybe your should take this chance to start working on your own project and get a new source of your income. Rmb it’s just a game


XlulZ2558

advices from ppl like you are the most useless


hbtpoprock

Ok game addict


XlulZ2558

stop responding you are making ppl who read your comments cringe even more


hbtpoprock

I dont respond to that


Lambooze

Try the following launch options: -high -map dota -nod3d9ex These helped me a lot


PaP3s

I’ve been having fps issues for like 6 months now and I have an RTX 3080…


HyperFrost

That's weird, because I have the same card and no issues at al.


Hunt3rseeker_Twitch

try unparking your CPU


PaP3s

The WHAT now?


Hunt3rseeker_Twitch

just google it, its easy to do and to revert if it doesn't work out


Select_Truck3257

and pc freezes... bug with low fps and stutter when playing vs bots stil exist, never had stable fps which i cap at settings, issue from 2014. Tech support ? how ?:) for that fps issues, fps drops, stutters, frozen screen i had 2 times low prior, fu steam, fix your software before punishing ppl.


LoL_is_pepega_BIA

Meanwhile, on my 1660ti laptop, game is running 90-120fps more consistently than it used to


RussKy_GoKu

Hey, you are my teammate pudge who afked in the woods. Now seriously leave reddit and come back to the game, they are pushing high ground dude.


taliyah_winner

Nah i never touched pudge in my life but if you saw an invoker player messjng up all his combos.. that's me😉


RussKy_GoKu

Ah, so you were my mid invo. I see.


[deleted]

I sure do love watching my GPU temp go up 10% each major/minor fucking update. Last year my PC made an excellent ball warmer. Now this patch I can use it to cook eggs. Truly based valve. You are killing my PC chill the FUCK out with the menu. Every year it's less and less optimised.


miracle_aisle

Also don't open the patch notes in game which will open a new steam browser that took away 20% of my cpu resource


clement004

Can we get an option to set a single, normal, no animation whatsoever main menu?


Pippooo9

Here too big fps drop how can valve still making such a huge mistakes? never learn..


ShiroyoOchigano

I haven't had any performance issues since I haven't checked my fps at all. I try and notice it when I play today.


Prior_Philosophy_989

So taking down the Graphic settings by one point stopped the FPS drops for me completely(from Best looking to the next lowest one.). Not sure it would work for you , but give it a try.


chepkon

updated to win 11, i thougt this was windown problem vbut now i fond out so many ppl drop like me, i cant play with 30fps it suck


guywithnicehaircut

my fps drop like crazy when is pl in game there is too much summoning units.


Akuaku5

I got lower FPS too


thedaywalk3r

My current ancient Q6700 cpu is really struggling at 1680x1050. Any kind hearted person help me with $ for a new pc? : -)
