Hello everyone.

I'm here to post contents of a website that might be useful to you.

Commands to run along with the game. Have one that is to change the idiom, for those that is not in the property, have idiom in theory that in the moment is international the English. And others for change the resolution, etc.

Access:



How to access Dota 2's Launch Options:
  1. Open the Steam client
  2. Navigate to Library tab
  3. Right click Dota 2
  4. Select Properties
  5. Navigate to General tab
  6. Click Set Launch Options...

Command lines

  • Multiple command lines should be separated by a space.
  • Console commands can also be added to the launch options in order to activate it on startup. To do so, add a plus sign (+) before the command and include the parameters(if they exist) after a whitespace.

Command Effect

-enable_addons Forces the engine to search for white-listed (by Valve) custom game content placed inside the game's installation directory instead of using the default game content packed inside the VPK files. Can be used in matchmaking games. Current white-list: Minimap, HUD, icons, custom cursor images, all sound directories, flash videos.
-nomousegrabEnables alt-tab function in some Linux desktop environments (such as XFCE) where Dota 2 is running fullscreen and grabbing the mouse wouldn't allow users to alt-tab out of the game.

-nod3d9exDisables Windows Aero DirectX extensions; may improve performance in certain cases.
-nomicsettings Stops Dota 2 from changing microphone output values upon launching the game. May help people with issues in third party communication software, such as Skype, in which their microphone volume would get maxed upon launching the game.

Source and more commands: http://dota2.gamepedia.com/Launch_Options

If the game does not show how is for display because of problem of resolution. I suggest that use "Launch Options", put the commands -h <height of monitor>, space and in side -w <width of monitor>.

-console -windowed -noborder -novid
and while we're at console commands, type this into your console:
dota_force_right_click_attack 1
allows you to right click deny creeps.

..And..
Options > Game > Interface > Names/Icons always in map
Shows hero icons all the time, takes a 'lil time to get used to but really useful after that.
