Dota 2 - Vision is blurry!

[commanderAIK]

Hey guys,

Please excuse me as I am in a bit of a rush now.  Anyway, I recently just got Dota 2 on Steam (Thanks Caly!) and Crossover (Thanks Chris!).  However.  When I play Dota 2 on steam, the gam is blurry, and it doesn't seem to load a lot.  I'll show you:

 

 

That's the options menu :\

 

Anyway, I'll add to this post when I have more time.  But if anyone could help me, I would highly appreciate it.

 

Thanks,

Alex

It's crossover causing this. Crossover wasn't really ever made for porting games. While you may be able to tweak crossover to be able to play the game I wouldn't be so sure as in getting it working at a decent FPS. It's like trying to get GTA running on linux with crossover, while it'll run you'll only be able to get 5 FPS - 10 FPS on a decent computer that'd run the game at max specs if not using crossover.

 

They are trying to port Dota2 on to the mac though. You could look at this:

Hope that helps,

Right, that worked, but whenever Dota 2 starts to launch.  It states that "Steam.exe encountered a serious problem and needs to close."  I couldn't find a way around this.

a decent computer

 

ie, NOT a Mac

 

 

Lies - you've been told what the problem was. XD You could always create a small partition on your hdd for a linux install, and run Steam on Ubuntu. Caly might be able to tell you if Dota 2 will run well on it or not.

 

EDIT: In your screen in the OP, that isn't blurry - it is at a ridiculously high resolution. You should be able to change that value in an options file somewhere, but I personally don't know where it is.

Caly uses crossover on ubuntu as steam for linux has very few games and dota2 isn't one of them.

Oh yeah.  Let me just click the options button and locate that resolution button for ya! XD

 

I'll try to find it blind

@Alex he meant the actual file that the options are stored in

Yeah, I tried that but no dice. Would getting ubantu and Linux have a chance of fixing this?
