Please tell me they fixed that stupid bug where the game freezes for 5 seconds. [editline]1st October 2013[/editline] Nope, they didnt.
What do you mean? I'm getting thes 5-10(?) second what appears to be lag spikes every once in a while, resets my control groups too. But it's probably my internet rather than Dota2?
Dunno about other, but me and my mates regularly, if always, get 5-7 second freezes when someone spawns a hero for the first time.
get better computers
Yeah, for the first five or so second of every game I just freeze super hard. After that I get a constant ~90 FPS so

my friend said the freezing was due to the ingame guides or something
[QUOTE=dill6869;42375138]my friend said the freezing was due to the ingame guides or something[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure it happened before guides were implemented.
[QUOTE=bunnyspy1;42375167]I'm pretty sure it happened before guides were implemented.[/QUOTE] I had a few slight issues with it before, but ever since this update I've had a really horrible freezing the first 10 seconds and the game stutters a lot more now. To other people: "Get a new computer." Bullshit, it's not like Dota 2 is very demanding anyway, and I had zero problems beforehand.
Clear your guides and check if the lag disappears, worth a shot at least. Pretty much everyone gets slight freezing when heroes load but anything longer than 1-2 seconds per hero is an issue yes. I can say that clearing the guides helped me.
[QUOTE=Dark RaveN;42371476]Dunno about other, but me and my mates regularly, if always, get 5-7 second freezes when someone spawns a hero for the first time.[/QUOTE] That's normal, that's because the game loads the hero model then and there. I had that problem on my old computer but with my new build it's only a small stutter.
yeah, the small stutter when the game first loads in your hero has always been there. It's not a recent thing.

[QUOTE=Pelican;42374648]get better computers[/QUOTE] No matter how fast your computer will be you will still stutter at the beginning, and it has to do with the hdd. I've heard someone saying that dota2 loads the effects and stuff for the selected heroes and pre renders them so you don't lag when they use a skill like the golem for example its a source engine bug me thinks.
Same here. The second the countdown reaches zero the game lags a few seconds before i can press play.
