Easier/Faster loading?

[Rasho Macuin]

I have a low end pc because third world.

When I find a match and I join, it takes some time to load.

Sometimes it takes too long and I get kicked out.

Sometimes it happens several times in a row so I cant play for hours.

Is there any way to lower loading times so I can connect with my matches on time?

Simply don't play this game. Dota is NOT a demanding game, if you can't afford a mediocre pc and stable internet, Don't play it or play with bots.

same happened to me, for me just wait like 2 mins after loading game, and try to view each hero load... and pray

1. before queue go play bots about 1-2 mins (no need repeat after except you logout from dota/restarting comp,just to loading the map)
2. after that go to options video set your monitor resolution to the lowest and turn it back after hero loading screen appear perfectly
its work for me,i have low end pc also hope its work

I also have an old computer. All components were assembled back in 2008. But I have no problems loading or connecting to matches and never have.
Maybe it's in the launch parameters, I have the following line:
-high -dx9 -novid -32bit -noaafonts -noforcemspd -nod3d9ex -noforcemaccel -console -useforcedmparms -prewarm -mapdota -nohltv -novr -nojoy
There is one more parameter that can significantly improve performance; it turns off the background, here it is +map_enable_background_maps 0
I don’t have it registered in the launch parameters, because along with the background it also disables post-game statistics.

How can I set this on? I just copy and paste them over my console commands?

This is not in the console, but in the launch options. Launch options are located in Library/right click on Dota/Properties/General. And at the very bottom you will see an empty line entitled “Launch Options”.
There you simply paste what I highlighted in bold.
