Dota 2 stuck in loading screen and dota doesnt respond
Hi guys. New here. So Earlier I was playing a goodgame. Rested a bit after and suddenly when I started finding for a match. I accepted the game. Then it took me almost 10 mins to realize that i still wasnt connected. I alt tabbed and saw that dota 2 was not responding. When I got back to dota i tried it again. Tried it for 3 times. And now im banned from match making for 24 hours. Any fixes for this?

where is the launch option?
go to Steam Library, right click on DotA 2, and click Properties. A window will pop up, and click "Set Launch Options".
THANKS ! :)

Remove -dx11 from launch option .. Temporary fix

Well, if you read Dota 2 Update - July 7th, 2016, it say that :

- DirectX 11 is now the default on 64-bit Windows systems.
- Fixed a visual bug with Earth Spirit's Stone Remnants failing to move during Boulder Smash.

By using -dx11, watch replay/normal game won't start at all.
Im using sweetfx on Dota 2, so it will show Rendering using D3D11 on top left corner whenever i run Dota 2 with -dx11 enabled.
When i remove -dx11, sweetfx says that Rendering using D3D9, which is DirectX 9,

So basically, July 7th updated ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up DirectX 11, not make it default for Windows 64-bit. So just play without -dx11 for now until Volvo fixed this. :steamfacepalm:

Make sure you don't have many applications running in the background when running dota. Also right click on your desktop once you have closed them to refresh your memory, also what you can do is in your launch options for the game add -high, which sets high priority to dota.

the last thing you could do is add -autoconfig aswell in launch options to reset an graphics modifications you might have done to prevent your game from launching correctly.

Guys i found a solution. Remove -gl -dx11 or -dx9 in launch options but RIP shift tab while in game

I think I f**ked up with starting setting. I write down Remove -gl -dx11 to dota 2 starting setting and now I get -gl error. How do I activate it again? Should I write Activate -gl ? I dont want to do something worse to dota 2.Well it's already broken atm with loading screen error and ♥♥♥♥ but you guys get the point.
