I cant start dota 2 from steam but it works from starting directly from dota2.exe

I wrote whole problem in title lol.

recently i moved my system to x64. copied whole dota 2 backup to my new system and installed steam + backup back. used file integrity check and steam started downloading 64 bit executables. everything is fine until here. when i double click dota 2 it doesnt start, just dota logo appears then goes to desktop back. while steam is running i tried going to
\steamapps\common\dota 2 beta\game\bin\win64
started dota2.exe from here and it actually worked. i can play like this but i don’t want to crawl through folders to start dota. Can’t start up dota 2 is there any way to fix this?

+ everytime i try to start from steam files like
dota2_2016_0203_100403_0_accessviolation. mdmp
appears near dota2.exe

Did you set any launch options in steam? It’s possible one of those is causing the crash. Otherwise if you upload your mdmp file I will try to tell you why it is crashing.

That’s how not to bump a thread

That’s how not to solve my problem

Haven’t you heard? Being an ass gets you fired.

That being said, here are some things that might help:
– removing MacType
– adding launch options: -32bit
– adding launch options: -32bit – nod3d9ex
– adding launch options: -32bit – dx11

Note that your GPU (Mobility 4300 series) is no longer supported by manufacturer – no more driver updates i. e. no more game fixes (that’s what driver updates are for) even before the Reborn update. Valve can’t do much from their side in case of problems.
But do follow up with a new dump, as there have been some engine changes since february 3rd.

yes but i can play fine when i run the game from this shortcut on my desktop, just it doesn’t start from steam itself.
“C:\gamez\steamapps\common\dota 2 beta\game\bin\win64\dota2.exe”

if its because of mactype then i will stick to playing like this because windows fonts are ugly
