Method 1: Borderless window mode
To improve game performance, it is recommended to use the borderless window mode in the graphics settings. This can help reduce lag and improve the overall smoothness of the game.

Method 2: Launch options
Using the following launch options can also have a positive effect on performance:
-novid -noaafonts -high +dota_embers 0 +engine_no_focus_sleep -threads 4 +fps_max 0 +r_rootlod 2 +r_shadowrendertotexture 0 -map dota -prewarm -nojoy -novr -noipx -console -useforcedmparms -allow_third_party_software -map dota
You can learn how to set the launch options here: HOW TO SET LAUNCH OPTIONS?
Method 3: Deleting folders panorama and itembuilds
If the previous methods did not help, you can try to delete the panorama and itembuilds folders, which are located at: ../dota 2 beta/game/dota
Please note: this method interferes with the game files and may lead to unstable operation. It is recommended only for the most severe cases. Use it at your own risk.
