IRC chatter should remain in IRC - http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=tl.dota2

Posts that relate to topics with their own thread, such as in News, Tournaments or Strategy should go in those threads.

So I tried setting up DotA2 on my brothers fairly new laptop. i7 with a GT 540M and im struggling to get decent fps on native res (1920x1080). I have tried these settings + Show Spoiler +
fps_max "60" // Halves the default fps
mat_vsync "1" // Stops screen refresh rate exceeding refresh rate of monitor
mat_triplebuffered "1" // Enable with vsync if fps is less than 60 (0 Disables, 1 Enables)

For people with lower spec computers or who prefer lower graphics settings (like me), try the following code to increase performance:
dota_cheap_water 1
cl_globallight_shadow_mode 0
r_deferred_height_fog 0
r_deferred_simple_light 1
r_screenspace_aa 0
mat_vsync 0 // Need to delete mat_vsync "1" line
from the customization guide from tauon and even with render quality set to minimum I'm still only getting 45-50 fps.
Am I missing something obvious before I try to tweak any further?

The GT540M just isn't great for Dota2 unfortunately. I have one myself (with i5 2540m) and the only way I can get up to ~55 average FPS is by turning down render quality to about 80%, turning all other graphical options off or to lowest (except Textures to high), and running 1280x720. Sucks, but when you gotta play you gotta play

I haven't fooled w/config files at all.

That laptop should be able to run it without problems.


On my desktop Dota2 rarely dips below 100 fps, so the difference is pretty noticeable there!

You young whipsnappers have things easy. In my days we played games on 20 fps and liked it!

I remember playing a game of WC3 dota on a school PC. All lowest and around 8fps but I fucking stomped anyway :D

Back when I had my shitty Dell, I lagged every 20 seconds at the beginning of the game.
So much hate

The amount of hate in the DotA2 announcement thread is pretty surprising, and it isn't because DotA2 was picked over LoL. People are actually accusing TL of losing it's original identity, of attracting the bm community of DotA2 onto TL, etc etc. I didn't really expect that, but I guess everyone has their opinions.

The paraleluniverse comment in that thread takes the cake though, I'll quote it for everyone here:

Why Dota 2? It's a bad game where only 25 heroes are used like 95% of the time in competitive play.

Oh I remember when people would tactically pick invoker so it lags exactly when people buy items to cause missbuys. There weren't any refunds back then and Invoker caused heavy lag(he even dced a guy once xD)

It's a few months too late for "The Elephant in the Room", seeing as the Chinese teams are all switching already.

I doubt most of the people complaining now were around pre-SC2. =P

Besides that, in terms of pub community (even though every dota player told me how AWEFUL manners dota players have) out of SC2, League and DotA 2 I find the pubgames in DotA 2 to be the most fun and I'm meeting much more cool people randomly than in the other games. I think not having a visual indicator about penis length "skill" helps a lot to calm people down.
