More details about the new baseline requirements and other updates will be shared when the devs are ready to make the jump. Valve encourages players to test their current graphics API in the Dota 2 client and report if any issues pop up. Removing these older technologies will let us streamline our development efforts as well as use the newer features of these APIs to provide an even better Dota experience. Most players are already benefiting from the newer technologies, whether it’s via larger content sizes, higher frame rates, better graphical fidelity, or cleaner sounding audio, Valve said. And this will only affect a small number of players since most computers already support the new baseline requirements. These moves will allow Valve to support newer technology at the lowest level of development, which will improve development at all stages.


Valve just posted a big update surrounding ticket sales for The International 10, The International 2021 Compendium, and new features being added to the Dota 2 clients Spectator HUD.
