  • Are you using the latest stable video driver available for your system? [Yes/No] Yes
  • Have you verified the game files?: [Yes/No] Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

The game crashes randomly while playing a match in dota. It can happen randomly after 1 min of gameplay or 20 mins of gameplay. The most I could get out of the game without it crashing with a segfault was 30 mins. Sometimes it crashes more than 4 times in a span of 10 minutes. I verified my game files multiple times. I also changed my operating system to Pop OS (Debian based), Nobara (Fedora based) and Arch Linux. The problem was consistent with all of these. I even tried adding 'WAYLAND_DISPLAY= %command% -vulkan' to my launch options. Did not help.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Start the game up normally.
  2. Play the game normally.
  3. Wait for it to crash.

For reference, the attached minidump is a SIGSEGV in libparticles.so.

Is there a way to fix/patch it on my end?

Someone on here suggested running valgrind on the library path. Is this VAC safe?

Had the same thing, switched to Proton Experimental and DX11 no problems.
