Dota 2 Performance Issues After Game Updates: What Should You Check?

Staff-created draft

Anyone else get random performance problems after a Dota 2 update?

My game can run perfectly one day and then suddenly feel worse after a patch.

I'm not sure whether it's a graphics setting, shader issue, background application or something else.

What should I check first before reinstalling the entire game?

Don't reinstall immediately. Check whether the graphics settings changed after the update.

Also check your GPU driver and whether something else is using resources in the background.

Start with verifying game files, updating drivers, checking temperatures, and comparing performance with background applications closed.

Reinstalling everything because of one FPS drop is the classic gamer solution lol. ---
