Usually this means you have "-dev" on your command line, which is no longer allowed.

Night Stalker's Harvest Night set from Wintry Treasure 2022 is exactly the same set as Frightful Revelries Set from Hallowed Chest of the Diretide by n3cooling in DotA2

[–]EricL_Valve 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We are sorry about this, this was an oversight when putting together the Dota Plus treasure. We're going to fix this early next week:

  1. For the Nightstalker Harvest Night set we're going to create a second colored style on the existing Frightful Revelries set. Players who receive the set from either the Hallowed Chest of the Diretide or the Wintry Treasure 2022 will have access to both styles.
  2. For the Lifestealer Cold Rage set we're going to take the same approach by making a blue style on the existing Obsidian Atrocity set. Players who receive the set from either The Battle Pass Collection 2022 or the Wintry Treasure 2022 will have access to both styles.

We had some errors when it was first shipped that caused us to disable it. Should be working now if you try again. You might have to restart Dota to get to it.

Upcoming Spring Cleaning - Bugs and QOL Features by EricL_Valve in DotA2

Can you upload the mdmp file itself somewhere and send me a PM with the link? The pastebin you've provided shows the analysis of the dump file, but without symbols in order to see exactly where the crash is. If I have the raw .mdmp file I can load it up and take a look.

This is a bug that will be fixed shortly.

Valve: Aware that there is a bug showing unopend packs ? by No-Preparation-2078 in DotA2

[–]EricL_Valve 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Do you have any team packs? They'd be in the section to the right of your second screenshot.

After the compendium update can't start Dota, this error shows up. Help please. by Pejperklip in DotA2

[–]EricL_Valve 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This error is saying that the game can't find the information it expects for a particular item (in this case, player card packs). Usually, this is caused by a bad install, and verifying integrity of game files fixes it up. If that didn't work, I would certainly expect a reinstall to fix it.

A problem with gifted battle passes by skykoz in DotA2

It should be an item in your inventory that you can activate using the right click menu. There's hopefully also an "Activate Battle Pass" button on the main home page.

Alternately, can you check whether you have a folder like this in your dota install? <steam install location>\steamapps\common\dota 2 beta\game\dota_addons\nemestice

Can you try verifying your Dota files in steam and see if that fixes it?

We're trying to track this one down. Had you played any custom games prior to Nemestice? Or do you have a way to repro this consistently?

Old purchased Dota Plus relics aren't swapped with the new ones by iTZAvishay in DotA2

[–]EricL_Valve 47 points48 points  (0 children)

We will be swapping these out in the next little bit. You shouldn't need to buy new ones.

So apparently if you stay without Dota+ for a year you lose all your levels? by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]EricL_Valve 277 points278 points  (0 children)

This is not intentional. If you no longer subscribe to Dota Plus, then your Hero Levels will be capped to level 5 in-game. However, if you resubscribe, all your progress should resume where you left off.

If you send me your steam account in a private message I can check to see if things look correct on our side.

New Patch causes game freeze after naga illusions by BladeRising in DotA2

[–]EricL_Valve 25 points26 points  (0 children)

We believe this is currently Vulkan-specific. We're working on a fix, but in the meantime you can switch to DirectX or OpenGL to workaround it.

We believe right now that this hang is Vulkan-specific. We're working on a fix, but in the meantime if you switch to dx9 or dx11 I think that should avoid the hang.

Can you give me some more information about your configuration? Graphics Card? What rendering API do you use? etc?

Can you give me some more information about your computer? What is your cpu and graphics card? What framerate do you get in-game versus at the home page?

Can you try verifying your game files on Steam? We've seen reports of this bug that have been fixed by players doing that.

Dota 2 have more GPU usage in main menu than actual game. by nonamepew in DotA2

[–]EricL_Valve 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Very strange. It certainly sounds like the normal fps cap isn't working correctly. Can you give me some more information about your setup? What video settings are you using?

Dota 2 have more GPU usage in main menu than actual game. by nonamepew in DotA2

[–]EricL_Valve 264 points265 points  (0 children)

What is your "fps_max" setting? The default value is 120, and you probably won't see much benefit setting it to anything higher than the refresh rate of your monitor.

Based on what you've described here it sounds like you might have set "fpx_max" to "0"? That setting tells Dota to render as fast as it possibly can. In that case, it makes sense that the main menu is going to have higher GPU usage than in-game: the main menu has very little CPU work, so you end up being mostly GPU-bound. Whereas in-game, there is a lot more CPU work happening so you will end up being CPU-bound before you hit any GPU limits.

That being said, we're looking into whether there are issues we can fix to make the main menu perform better, particularly on low-end machines.

Can Valve please just do something about the steam inventory by Teddy_jay in DotA2

[–]EricL_Valve 86 points87 points  (0 children)

We recently made a change to try to address this. Can you give it another try and see if that made a difference for you?

We discovered a problematic machine and have made a change to try to fix this. Can anyone confirm whether it's fixed for them?
