  • Dota 2 Pre-Crownfall and Classic! (Windows)

    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!)

  • Dota 2 Offline + OHA Bot Scripts (Windows)

    https://wiki.realmofespionage.xyz/games;windows;dota_2_steamcmd

    Download Dota 2 through SteamCMD, and use high-quality bot scripts, in ultimate offline style!

    • SteamCMD instead of full Steam GUI client (lighter, less telemetry)
    • Goldberg Steam Emulator (satisfy Dota 2 hooks)
    • Dota 2 all-official files/updates/validation
    • Open Hyper AI bot scripts (easily swappable)
    • Dota 2 forced-offline
    • Batch files, Start Menu shortcuts
    • Dota 2 launcher immediately launches into Unfair bot match
    • Linux and FreeBSD too!

    SteamClientDll64 was the only thing I couldn’t avoid a C:\ for :p
