After updating, an error occurs when launching Dota?
Оглавление ▼
After updating Dota 2, I encounter an error every time I try to launch the game. It’s frustrating because I’ve never had this issue before, and I can’t figure out what’s causing it. This is preventing me from playing with my team, and I really need help to get back in the game. Any insights into why this might be happening would be appreciated.
If an error occurs when launching Dota after an update, try these steps:
1. **Verify Game Files**: Open your Steam Library, right-click on Dota 2, select ‘Properties’, go to the ‘Installed Files’ tab, and click ‘Verify Integrity of Game Files’.
2. **Update Drivers**: Ensure your graphics drivers are up-to-date by visiting the manufacturer’s website for the latest updates.
3. **Check Antivirus Software**: Sometimes antivirus programs mistakenly flag game files. Add Dota 2 to the exceptions list in your antivirus software.
4. **Disable Background Applications**: Close unnecessary programs running in the background that might conflict with the game.
5. **Reinstall DirectX**: Update or reinstall DirectX as it’s crucial for running games.
If the problem persists, consider reinstalling the game.
