Dota 2 Freezes (any point of time in-game) Never Crashes

Straight to the point: Dota 2 will freeze from about 3,5-7seconds randomly and never crash or drop. Now I have read posts where their game freezes right before something happens – this is not the case.

It can happen soon after starting the game, walking to the first tower with no creeps on map or it can happen mid-battle where 90% of the time you will die, rage, and practically re-enact your ‘death battle’ out on any living or non-living thing that may be within a few meters from you.

Sound from music will still play, but sound from the game will stop. Friends can play on the same line, never experience such lag. I can be at a different location on the same pc and the results are still consistent.

Within the 3,5-7second freeze (not lag spike, it freezes, stand point, ice-block style) I will rapidly click home on the map and PRAY to my God that my hero will not die. The game will still be frozen but have a micro-spike where everything will move around, no wait, everything will flash into new places and freeze again – this happens at about 3/4 of the way through the total freeze time. For example if it froze for 5seconds it would be around the 3.75 second mark everything will regain conscious for perhaps not even half a second then continue with its’ beautiful, lovely freezing leaving me absolute suspense to know if I died or not.

I’m not even joking, I was at the bottom lane, no enemy heroes were present, Dota 2 decided to play mind games with me and freeze. But not to worry! I was alone, but what? What was that? Waait what? A timer? I got ganked during the freeze and didn’t even know it.

Probably the most annoying thing of the lot is that when you try tell people present in game, on their screen everything was fine, your hero still attacked them. So basically, you look like a lying noob.

At least I’m developing Zen. Slowly. But it’s getting better.

PS: Pc is a beast. It’s not graphics or any performance issues since I can play BF3 on Ultra with no lag.
I have tried many fixes, none seems to work. Too many to mention as I have forgotten most of them, but will recognise them if mentioned. (Cleaned registries, defragged all HDD’s, reinstalled Dota 2 + copied friends working version)
I have tried to search but found nothing similar on this forum just yet to my problem, but there are many forums outside this one where people have reported the same issue and fewer in those reports where the fixes everyone mentioned did not work.

Thanks for creating a great game, no sarcasm, graphics, heroes, game play, everything is just amazing. I’ll still play Dota 2 with this issue over any other Dota-like game with no issues.
