Dota 2

Multiplayer works, but the rule is enter at your own risk. Since valve supports things like wine anyway, you should never have problems with VAC.

As long as you are a good user everything should be ok.
 
Hello guys. How is the state of Dota2 now a days? What method of installing steam is the best one to play Dota2?
I have a Void Linux installation that I use to play some steam games. But Dota support for linux is not good. For the last 5 or more years every patch update released by Valve breaks dota for a bunch of people. This last patch I was in that group.
I would like to know how is dota on FBSD if I install steam via wine.
 
Currently, I use Mizuma to install steam with wine-proton to launch Dota2.
This allow me to play in multiplayer mode (note that security.bsd.unprivileged_proc_debug must be enabled, else vac complain).

Using linux-steam allow me to launch Dota2, but for some reason vac is not very happy. So I guess one would need to investigate what feature is needed by vac.

13.3 or 14.0?
 
I was not able to play it online with linux-steam-utils. It is unnecessary for me because I'm done with games.

I wonder if solo bot matches would work?

On Linux I download Dota 2 through command-line steamcmd, tame it with an open-source Steam emulator (Goldberg), download improved bot scripts from a git repo (OpenHyperAI, but also used RMMAI), and I'm good to go! (notes)

I tried steamcmd through c7 and rl9 briefly on FreeBSD 14.1 but got some error before being able to log-in; gave up quick on that though and just went to WC3 through Wine with some Dota AI map :p
