Delay in Dota 2

Aca29 · 10-09-2011, 03:56 PM

I recently got into dota 2 beta, and the first thing is the noticed its the annoying 1sec delay which makes the whole game kinda unplayable. I heard a while ago on a GLHF stream that the delay is intentional and its supposed to make wc3 players "get used" to faster steam engine, but its actually 10x worse then wc3. Anyway i know he fixed it by deleting a file from dota2 directory but i don't remember which one. Any help?

+1. there's a constant 0.3 or 0.4 delay i doubt its my net though

Sounds too strange to be true.
Check on which server you are playing.

I didn't experience any delay so far. I think its your location.

Aca29 · 10-09-2011, 04:01 PM

Maybe you just can't notice it, but its there. Im from Serbia and i always have <50 ping so i doubt its my net

dont play at asia and NA
play only europe games ...

There's a thread on the beta forums about it isn't there? Yes there is a delay (not lag related) and I think they're working on it.

try changing those cvar values to a higher one:

go to console and type:

rate 30000
cl_updaterate 100
cl_cmdrate 100
cl_interp 0

might help.. or not

I don't have any lag.

And go to dev.dota2.com

There is a little delay (like in Wc3, it's not worse - it actually is better).

If you come from HoN you WILL notice a delay, since unit responses are instant there.

I got used to it in 2 days. (And it is OBVIOUSLY not 0,2seconds - that would be 200ms+your ping)

ermm. You said that because the distance of the dude and the server who asked is large, or general Asia servers are laggy ?

Lochtide · 10-09-2011, 04:23 PM

damn so HoN really is better, no lag in there

There is no lag either. It just takes a while till the unit responses (25ms, afaik). That has nothing to do with lag.

Xmarksthegank · 10-09-2011, 04:26 PM

Try checking console commands, such things might exist. A lot of those games have wonky default setting for some reason.

And it does depend a bit, or more than a bit on how the networking system has been done.

Response times SC2 vs HoN (HoN = similar to dota with P2P connection programs)

Also, catering for those with +80-100 ms of lag also decreases the quality and integrity of the game itself. THIS ISN'T A HITBOX ISSUE BTW.

Moar of that.

It is much worse, unless u play garena pub. For example, i can only dream orbwalking on dota 2. And it is like a 0.5 sec or worse with me having a 50 ping

ChildLikEmperor · 10-09-2011, 04:37 PM

I get zero lag

Also dont forget the game is in beta, there is a lot of optimisations and improvements to be done
