  • Dota 2 Pre-Crownfall and Classic!

    Pre-Crownfall notes

    Classic notes

    • SteamCMD + Goldberg Steam Emu
    • Offline + Unfair Bot Match instant-launch
    • 70GB+ 7.39, 50GB Pre-Crownfall, 14GB Classic
    • Pre-Crownfall is before 7.36 that introduced Hero Facets
    • I think Facets enforce a predetermined play-style and makes randoming Heroes less-fun
    • Classic is Source 1 (win32 DX9)
    • Classic is more chill and I like it! Warlock is way less-OP :p
    • I had to finally look into obtaining older Dota 2 versions after the 2025 “Spring Forward” 7.39 update introduced more-complex UX with the courier and having it auto-buy (totally broke my Octraine Core flow!)
