STUCK UP IN LOADING FOR PICK PHASE IN DOTA 2.

[BossTON]

AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO EXPERIENCE THE STUCK UP LOADING IN PICK PHASE, NO IMAGES OF HEROES TO BE PICKED BUT I CAN HEAR THE SOUNDS OF MY ANNOUNCER IN STARTING OF PICKING HEROES. BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE I ALWAYS GETS SOME ABANDONED STATUS!!! CAN SOME ONE IN STEAM OF VALVE FIXED THIS IT ALL STARTED WHEN YOU UPDATE YOUR GAME BECAUSE OF THIS BATTLE PASS.

-map dota is the command in steam launcher to load it, when you start the game.
Second. Vulkan loads faster than any directX. Get it.

Oh wow, I can force the game to preload the map with a launch command? Gonna have to try that out.

Same problem, I cant play rankeds or turbos, it always the same thing: freeze screen in pick phase, just I can listen the announcer. I always have task manager open, and when It freeze, go to task manager and close, then open dota 2 as soon as posible(u should put in dota 2 launch option: -novid). Now I'm in LP and the problem is there.

-Fixed-
Set all settings to low
Set you max fps 40-60

Vulkan is the best. If your game struggles to load, upgrade your hard drive, or repair

im still getting this issue repeatedly. its annoying as hell. i can hear the game loading but then nothing so i have to windows or task manager to close it and restart....at which point dota then runs super slow

in your dota 2 launch options put:
-map dota

to let the map loads as soon as you let the game start.

if this solution is not enough try load demo hero before game it should load the map

BEST WAY TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM IS TO UPGRADE YOUR GPU. I EXPERIENCED IT WHEN I WAS USING MY LAPTOP, BUT WHEN I BUILD A PC I DID NOT ENCOUNTER THE PROBLEM AGAIN.

BUT IF YOU WANT A TEMPORARY SOLUTION YOU BETTER LOAD FIRST A DEMO GAME OR TRY TO PLAY IN CUSTOM THEN YOU CAN TRY TO START A GAME IN NORMAL OR MM

I mean, its just a game. If you wait it will get to the character selection screen. Takes about 20 seconds. You miss the ban phase but meh.

LOL. Good for you then. I waited until the game is safe to leave. LOL

I found one way to bypass this issue.
1.
i Reduced my game graphics to minimal. (even after having 16 gb ram 8 gb graphics and i7)
customize your aspect ration to your monitor resolution and select boderless from the drop box.
Restart the game
2.
Whenever your game gets hanged always press (windows+D)
instead of (alt+tab) to reach the desktop.
3.
Open task manager even before you open the game.

If your game gets stuck at black screen press win+D go in task manage and end task dota .
Then restart dota you will be in game in 2-3 min. Hopefully and wont get abandon.

4.
With minimal graphics settings and boderless screen launching your game after black screen shouldn't be a problem now (after using task manager to end task the game if it gets stucked).

Lastly if you have got more than 4 abandon due to this error just leave the game for 2-3 days
your abandon count will reduce and the penalty will be less harsh.

Play in your other account if you have one.
I did that. It even helped me to be sure that the system can now work fine.

When you are out of lp try to play games with friends 5 man party if possible. Later ask them to swap commend just to improve your behaviour score.

I hope this will help
Good luck

Now here's my problem. I'm using a potato computer, and if I end task dota2, it will take few mins to restart it to the point where it will be considered as an abandon.

No, it's not black screen, but there's the names of the player and the chat, and the screen froze just before loading the hero list. And then windows consider dota2 as not responding and y'know, it won't solve the crash.

Will appreciate if someone can help, esp for the case of low-spec computers (not all dota2 players are rich).

Use vulkan. It's superior in loading time and performance.
