HELP CANT OPEN DOTA 2 SAYS
Failed to initialize Vulkan.
Please make sure your driver and GPU support Vulkan.

To disable Vulkan, remove -vulkan from your launch options.
If you chose Vulkan in the video settings, please add -safe_mode to your launch options to allow the game to start with the default rendersystem.



how to fix this?

Definitely not Metal capable Mac computer, so not meeting the current minimum requirements to run Dota 2.

Yeah, the NVIDIA GeForce 320M is not Vulkan capable. It can only do OpenGL up to version 2.1.
