Dota 2 for MAC

Hi, I have been playing Dota 2 for years without a problem on my MAC but recently the lag is very unstable and it is impossible to play rank games. I tried resetting the Wi-Fi, uninstalling the game twice... nothing yet. I have a MacBook Pro Retina from 2015 and currently Im living in San Francisco, CA, so I always play in West US. Thanks.

Hey I'm using the same laptop as u do to play dota 2
I had no problems playing dota on it. But I play on dota 2 on windows 10 ( Using boot camp assistance )
I recommend you to play using windows on macbook using boot camp.

Tips :

1. Try playing with charging on it gave me boot on fps. Without charge 12fps and with charging 65fps max settings.BOOM !!!

2. You don't need to redownload the game just take a back up from mac and restore to windows.

IF U NEED ANYTHING I'M HERE. HAPPY TO HELP :D
I'M SURE I CAN HELP YOU WITH IT.

Thanks man. I don't know how to install windows on my mac. Off course you won't explain me if I can search it on google, but any recommendation of how? Maybe there is more than one way, and one is better than the other. Thanks again.

I suggest you not go for another way it can cause error later when you're using windows. There is an application called boot camp ( hit the search you will find it ). And get an windows iso paced on your desktop.

https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/software-download/windows10ISO

The boot camp software will guide you how to install windows but I recommend watching this video.

If got any doubt I will be around. And also tell me do have AMD Radeon R9 M370X with 2GB GDDR5 on it because the other intel iris pro is not working on windows ( There is a hard way but I don't recommend it ).

Are you talking about the Intel Iris Graphics 6100 1536 MB? I think that's the one I have. Sorry I don't know a lot about this.

EDIT: My computer is a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015) and in the page you have me it says that it can use Windows 10. If I can run it, you recomend a 8GB pendrive or a 16GB? Thanks again man.

There are 2 ways ISO ( The way I did ) and boot to pen drive. 16GB pen drive will do fine.

Wow stop first clear out some space before you install windows. U need to
Have more space that 44gb. It's gonna get you some problems in future. Get a hard drive move your valuable stuffs to there.
