Dashboard Massive LAG!

[Uiharu]

I am new here, so hello and I hope I can help with some feedback.

overall I don't understand much about the game but what I come to talk about it's about performance problem.

Since this last update Dashboard has been updated, and when I start the game, it lags really bad since I can see net_graph with console open it says I have 2 fps.

and it's a bit odd, I know my pc is not that good, it is really old laptop with not so good hardware but usually when I am in game I play with 35/40 fps which is enough for me. And now in the dashboard it just run really slow.

PC Specs:

Intel Dual CPU T3200 2.0 Ghz
AMD Mobilty Radeon 2400 256MB
3GB RAM
Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit

I know it is old hardware but it should run the game rather smooth (40 fps is enough to me)

Important Note: I tried to run in window mode and I notice cpu usage in the dashboard it's about 40/50%

Also another problem I have this is less important when I open the game with Valve Logo it also lags, but this it happens since the 1st time I started playing and it's odd because CS:GO and Portal 2 have the same version of the file I think and it doesn't lag at all.

Same here, the dashboard lags massively at times, only in my case it's on a HD6990 and 12 gigs of fast ram...

trash computer here.....and I guess is just bad optimized. I know I have to play the game with bad graphics but....at least don't let me to have lag in just the menu screen ;__;

Dashboard also lags for me, maybe the particle effect that takes place in the background is the reason. I am running the game on a laptop though

Same here.
Today tho, when i first opend dota, the particle effect in the background was gone, and the game was perfect. but after my first match those effects came back and dropped my fps drastically.

Same. Turning off the backround particle effect doesn't help much either.

You know every game in the market does have minimum requirements. Maybe your computers are not reaching that minimum? Valve must try to attend the greater number of clients possible, but not in detriment of the game per se.

Read the first reply to the thread....and my computer ran the game fine before the UI update and it's not trash at all. You have to understand that this is not an FPS drop while in a match, it's when viewing the stupid UI. If the UI is making my computer work harder than it does IN A MATCH, then something is very wrong. It's probably the worst when I'm in my profile screen.
