Dota-2-Vulkan
Tracker for issues specific to the Vulkan version of Dota 2 on Windows, Linux, and macOS
Random thing to try: disable shader cache in Steam options to see if it's better. (this bug: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Dota-2/issues/1970)
Yes, definitely try opengl. Try adding +map_enable_background_maps 0 to your launch options too. Try putting Steam in small mode (View --> Small Mode). You can also try NoBling mod: https://github.com/No-Bling/DOTA
You can check my profile I made a post on this sub about vulkan. I also opened a GitHub issue on dota 2's vulkan page. I too have to use -gl. Also my computer is better than yours (4c/8th, 5.7gb ram), so the possibility that your PC can't play vulkan specifically just got lower! Anyway if you want vulkan fixed make sure to make yourself heard on the GitHub page (if that's not against the rules, that is)! Here it is : https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Dota-2-Vulkan/issues/397
