Dota 2 Lagging a LOT in the game first minutes after the last update

[Racoon]

Really Valve, what did you do to my game on this update?
Before it my dota ran smoothly with no lag or stutters, now, in every game I play after hero picking, the game gets REALLY LAGGY, and stuttering al the time, I can barely move, I have to wait at least 2 minutes for the game to normalize (once I only could play after it has passed 7 minutes of the game), I already tried lowering the video settings and it didn't work.
Please help me, and if is there someone who has this problem too leave the comment down there so more people can see it.

I would appreciate if you could help with this

Try -cl_forcepreload 1 in the config and/ or as a launch parameter.

Lag OP

you dont need to find lobbies to play, just click on the play button then "find match"

[76561198108714185]

does it load that long to find a match ?

rigby i have same issue to you.when the update finnish and i start to play i got laggy while ill played

[Racoon]

Fixed it, the problem was not that the preload was off, it on was what was causing it.

And yeah it take like 2 or 3 minutes to find a match depending on the server you pick

[Delu]

So either you had enabled preload before or Valve enabled it. On my system preload always helped, without it there would be random stutters/ lag every now and then, with preload on only for a few seconds at start of a round. I prefer the latter.

[Racoon]

nope, it only worked on one game, then it went back to as it was .-. and I didn"t even change any settings ._.

Same issue but sometimes I abandon games while I'm still in the fountain. I literally cannot access my hero, the shop...nothing. And I too never had this problem before the last update.

But this even happens in offline games, it's not as bad but you still are frozen in place for a while.
