Finding the Launch Options within Steam.
Launch Options are command lines that change the Dota 2 client.
Access[edit]
Hire a crew, destroy your rivals, and rule White Spire in this new strategy battler set in the world of Dota. Strategize to win. Hire multiple copies of the same hero to transform them into unstoppable forces of nature. For work related reasons, I will be getting a top line macbook pro in the coming days. I just wanted to know if anyone has issues playing DOTA 2 in macbook pro. As I searched, all I could find was 'macbooks are not for gaming' chorus and bashing in most of the places.
How to access Dota 2's Launch Options:
- Open the Steam client
- Navigate to Library tab
- Right click Dota 2
- Select Properties
- Navigate to General tab
- Click Set Launch Options...
Command lines[edit]
- 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.
- Example:To set the attribute
r_lod
to 0, input+r_lod 0
in the launch options.
- Example:To set the attribute

Prewarm turn on by default, loads many resources needed to play a match of Dota before the dashboard appears and should make the time spent loading resources during connection much faster, especially on low-spec machines. The trade-off is that the initial load time before the dashboard will be a little longer. |

These commands are deprecated. They either no longer work at all (i.e. were removed), or have no use anymore.
Command | Effect | Reason |
---|---|---|
-windowed | Game runs in windowed mode. | Changeable in the game settings. (the code '-sw' still works for the same purpose) |
