Spell Cast delay (definitely not lag)

[Seiza]

so my bro has got a new laptop and then install dota 2. he began to play bot match using the default settings, but then this strange thing happened. every target spells (including tango, putting wards, and other spells) is delayed. by delayed i mean is that it requires 3/4 clicks to cast the spell, but instant spells like juggernaut's spin or slark's pact is not delayed. this is definitely not lag becuz it was a bot match and for confirmation i check -ping it shows 0ms and 0% packet loss obviously. i've checked the options in the setting panel, there is nothing triggered this phenomenon. so it would be great if you guys have a solution to this problem, thank you

here is one thing you have to take note.

when spells are cast especially in team battle like 5 vs 5, your FPS will drop and then when the team battle is over, the FPS returns back to normal.

and that is what your brother is having.

the weird thing is that this delay happen even when the hero is alone....i tried to play demo hero but it results the same

even if you are alone on one lane but if your other 4 team mates are fighting the opposite team in a 4 vs 5 on another lane, your FPS will drop for sure.

don't forget that bots can cast spells without suffering any lag or FPS drop.

then it is internet connection having problem.

or you got a slow computer.

1) kindly lower all your in-game settings to the lowest.

2) kindly close all programs except for steam and dota 2 (open task manager just to make sure)

3) make sure your computer is the only one using the internet connection at home.

4) make sure you are not streaming any video or downloading anything

5) switch to wired connection if you using wi-fi connection.

This is the solution. Just change the touch pad tap settings to "High sensitivity" and the delay will disappear.
