Improve Dota 2 experience for slow connections/paper PC's

Add custom launch options to Dota 2 by going to your steam library, right clicking Dota 2 and click properties. From here, click the Set Launch Options button which can be found in the General tab. In the text box type all the launch options you want seperated by spaces but preceded by dashes (eg. -novid -console -high).

Command: -console Description: Enables the console. Can also be activated by using the console command con_enable "1" in your autoexec.cfg file.

For those located outside North America, lag can be a bit of a problem. I found the following block of code helped fix the problem for me. If these settings lag for you, try the values shown in brackets that are better suited for slower internet speeds.

rate "80000" // Total amount of bandwidth Dota 2 may use (40000)

cl_updaterate "40" // Amount of updates recieved from server per second (20)

cl_cmdrate "40" // Amount of updates sent to server per second (20)

cl_interp "0" cl_interp_ratio "1"

cl_smoothtime "0.01" // When errors occur smooth display over X time

Optional/Situational :

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 paper pc's (lower spec computers) or who prefer lower graphics settings, 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

The following list of commands will use the lowest available settings for Dota 2.

We also need to punish people for their unethical act not in term of money and punishment not necessarily in mean of jail but we need to punish people in order to discourage them for their act.
