Guide: How to Set and Launch Dota 2 on a Slow PC in 2022?

The question about a slow PC in 2022 seems to not be raised anymore but then you open a page of any online shop, search for PC components and close the pop-up. The current situation at the market implies that PC assembly will turn out to be a rather pricey endeavor, so it’s not surprising that a user will have to settle for slow hardware in 2022.

This improvised guide tells you how to set up your PC and Dota 2 in order to get the maximum amount of FPS and to play as comfortably as possible.

Hardware Setup

Before you start setting Dota 2, we offer you to start with the setup beyond the game. These points are quite trivial, but still they can improve performance of the game with a slow device.

  • Clean PC cash

Start “magic” with cleaning PC with the help of special apps. You can choose any programme of this kind, for example, CCleaner.

  • Find out the number of working processor units

To squeeze the best out of a slow PC, you should make it work to its full extent. That’s why we use the maximum amount of the processor with the combination Win+R, then in the field we put in “msconfig”, go to downloads, then to additional settings and there we choose the maximum number of available processors.

  • Set the priority of graphics card performance

In this paragraph, we’ll get the maximum out of the graphics card. If you have an NVIDIA card, you will have to open NVIDIA GeForce Experience and move the slider in the section «Adjust image setting with preview» to the left, to the performance side as it is shown in the screenshot.

You should also check graphics drivers’ updates, turn off extra processes in the task dispatcher and update DirectX. All these will help you to get around ten FPS for a weak PC.

The most ardent gamers can try to reinstall the operating system software. It will not give any special augmentation, but you can get 7-10 pieces.

Dota 2 Launch Setup

Before you launch the game, we recommend taking a look at its settings in Steam. It is simple: это достаточно просто: right mouse button on Dota 2 in Steam, look for starting options in the window. Read on for details.

There are several important settings in Dota 2 which help to increase the amount of FPS significantly. Let us look at the most popular ones.

  • -novid

Removes the intro when you launch Dota 2. It also speeds up the process of starting the game in several seconds.

  • -high

This team will set high priority for Dota 2. Thanks to it, the game gets priority when it is being processed by the CPU, and, consequently, the game works better.

  • -map dota

Optional settings. It makes the game download the map when the game is launched.

  • -autoconfig

The command that resets Dota 2. It will come in handy if you complicated the settings in the game which we are going to explain later.

Console (In-game) settings for optimization

Apart from the mentioned above commands, you can do some tricks with the Dota 2 console. It is added if you write -console in the setup parameters.

  • -noipx

The command unloads operating memory. Use it if you have less than 3 Gb RAM.

  • -nod3d9ex

The command unloads the central processor. It improves performance of the game while minimizing and maximizing Dota 2.

  • -noaafronts

The command turns off smoothing the game. If you do not worry about the appearance of the game, use this command, otherwise the text in the game will be unreadable.

  • -threads [number]

The command sets on the number of processor units. You can use it if the load is uneven between the units.

Dota 2 Settings

The final touch — graphics setup in Dota 2. We are not going to reveal a huge secret here.

When you start the game, go to settings. It is in the upper left corner.

Then you go to “Video”. Here you will make the final preparation before you start the game on a slow PC in 2022.

  • Use screen resolution

The first point of video settings will let the game use the resolution of your screen. If you have a large display, you should decrease the resolution to improve the performance.

  • Настраиваем графику Dota 2

The main point of setting the game. In Dota 2, you can set the graphics automatically to maximize the performance (analogously to graphics settings).

Move the slider to the left corner. If the decline of the quality is very noticeable, you can make custom settings but it will entail loss of valuable frames. If you set manually, we recommend you to lean on textures, turn down shades and turn off animated portraits of heroes that use a significant number of FPS.
