dota 2 update august 18 2020
On the night of August 18, Valve developers released an update for Dota 2.

The client update affected the polygon count changes for hero models, added the -prewarm option as the default, and fixed minor bugs.

List of changes:

Dashboard
  • Removed the front-page banner for Immortal Treasure II.
  • Added a banner for Aghanim's Labyrinth to the front page. 
Economy
  • Edited Particles for Timbersaw's Clearcut Cavalier.
Strings
  • Fixed a typo error for Axe's Culling blade in Ability Draft.
Models
  • Increased polygons for a variety of heroes.
Other
  • "-prewarn" Launch option is now set on by default. 
  • "-noprewarm" Launch option disables this.
Issues
  • The new update is causing crashing on some machines. Apparently disabling custom terrains alleviates this issue.
