Download Dota 2 Steam

[Yolette Langevin]

Ihad dota on flatpak but I removed it together with steam. Wanted to play a few games this weekend and I decided to install it through nixpkgs. The install works fine up until the point I have to connect to a server.

If I start the game without trying to ping but instead I select a region and click play it finds a game and I can click accept and as soon as everyone accepts I get into the hero selection screen just to get kicked out unable to reconnect.

You should be able to, but its a bit fiddly to set up. You would need to link two steam library folders in your steam client, one on your SSD and one on the HDD, then you need to choose to install DOTA on to the SSD library and all of your other games on the HDD.

I would do it that way, but you could just copy the games files from the other library. I tend to just re-install games to my SSD library but my internet is relatively fast, for some people copying would be easier.

I currently have this as my set up for a couple of games on my SSD:

the C:\ is my SSD and that was the default steam location.

the D:\ drive is my 1TB WD Blue and all I did was click [Add Library Folder] and made a new folder in the root of my HDD.

I am assuming you just got the SSD and want to migrate your games over.

You just need a program called Steam Mover. Works really well. Once you have that new games folder created you can start a game download in that location and let steam make all the necessary folders like the steamapps>common>[game folders]

Then you can cancel the download and the folders will remain. Just use steam mover to select all the games you want to transfer into the common folder and select the blue right arrow. Then just wait as the files transfer.

You will need to then go back into steam and simply start downloading the game and make sure you select the steam folder that is on the other hard drive. Steam will automatically register the game as full downloaded after this. I have done this many times after about 3 or so OS re-installs.

I basically just deleted my steam folder excluding the steam.exe and steamapps folder to my ext hdd, then I'm going to move them back to a fresh 1tb HDD, and launch the steam.exe in the HDD, then verify game cache or download games if necessary. But how can I have just the steam application and dota on ssd and rest on the HDD. If i was to move the executable and the steam apps folder to the ssd, it will move all games over and I dont have the space.

Yes I know how to do that but that's not the problem, I have the steam.exe and steamapps folder on my ext HDD, but I was wondering if I could just put the steam application on the ssd and the games on the HDD. If I run the exe in the ssd and move the steam apps to the HDD, would that work? Your method only applys when you already have steam installed in the desired drive.

Yes move the steam folder where you want and double click the .exe file or create a desktop shortcut. If the game is in that folder and doesn't launch verify the integrity of the file. The other games installed that you want to transfer, google a utility to do it. There are several ways to do it. I believe one is mentioned in the post above.

Hi,

I updated system today and Dota 2 stopped working. Tried to Google everywhere, used everything (windowed mode of Steam, reinstall of drivers + Steam). I'm using mesa drivers and integrated Intel graphics. Any idea what's wrong?

I think I have the same problem. I have not tested dota2 but it seems to affect any 64bit game. For example The Talos principle 32 bit, runs ok but 64 bit not.

Until yesterday I had no problem with talos 64bit.

I really LOVE the archlinux comunity I can confirm the solution. Downgrade the libgcrypt resolve the issue. You can download the old version from Here are the 32 and 64 bits versions. Remember install with "sudo pacman -U package". Happy dota!

Downgrading IS NOT A FIX!!! how can you name that a fix? (and just say that it is not "official". It is not a fix, it is just a downgrade that works. (the "good" news is that for the moment the downgrade is contained to only this package)

I know this solution but I'm not sure it is connected with this issue. I tried it but with libgcrypt 1.7.0.1 it didn't work. The problem could be with steam reinstalling, if you reinstall Steam, you got libstdc++ in steam folder again, so it doesn't matter if you got libgcrypt 1.7.0.1 or libgcrypt 1.7.0.2.

Open Steam and click on the Library button at the top of the window. Right-click on the game that doesn't run, and click on Properties. Click on Local Files, then click on Verify the integrity of the game cache. Re-try running/updating the game with the issue.
