Autoexec.cfg not working in General Discussion

    How to make it work ? Valve said that in update from September 1st it works, but I still can't get it work.

      I especially want to have binded runes & bigger minimap heroes. Can't get it work without autoexec. I tried to modify config.cfg, but it doesn't work either.

      Sir

          Great. Hitboxes, autoexec. Seriously Valve never seems to amaze me how incompetent it is.

            hitboxes are not bugged, their size was reworked

            when did ur eutoexec stop working? has it worked previously in reborn?

              TripleSteal - I had 1 month break from Dota, never played reborn before, so don't know. It just now doesn't work. Hitboxes were reworked ? It still is incompetence, because they're too hard to hit & Moba game shoudn't require precision of Counter Strike. Hitting meld on TA is nearly impossible for average player. It's kinda ridiculous.

                u have to move it to reborn folder, just copy it there. so far ur autoexec is in s1 files, so obviously it can't work for reborn.

                  TripleSteal - it's in the Dota 2 Beta library, only library I have. I tried everything people posted - editing game_convars, adding exec command to autorun etc. I use Mac OS, maybe it's just fucked up on Mac.

                    What pisses me off that before in S1, when I wrote command in console, Dota still remembered it after restart. Now it doesn't work like this. It's really frustrating to copy commands every time I run a game.

                    TripleSteal-

                      apparently source1 library was removed

                      if you jsut copy the old autoexec into
                      Dota 2 Beta/dota/cfg it should work. there is no need to use any kind of additional commands.
                      you can also check the setting inside dota, particularly the Enable console one, but it shouldn't affect autoexec anyways, I guess.

                        i'm guessing you mean ceases not seems but seriously, get over yourself. things change. adapt. don't whine.

                        Valve has developed an amazing game which exploded the value of esports and gives huge amounts of pleasure to millions of people. all for free if you want. to describe them as incompetent just makes you sound like an entitled child who has no idea how complicated it is to build software.

                          out of about 5 people i know in real life that play dota, exactly 0% are pleased withe the changes, like every patch it gets worse and worse

                            From Reddit:
                            1) Copy your autoexec from the old Dota to the new Dota folder.

                            The old dota autoexec is located at "...\Steam\SteamApps\common\dota 2 beta\dota\cfg"
                            The new dota cfg files are at "...\Steam\SteamApps\common\dota 2 beta\game\dota\cfg"

                            2) Right click on Dota 2 on the Steam client, go to properties, set launch options and add "+exec autoexec.cfg".

                            3) You are ready to go.

                              Rocket - hitboxes are one of the most important aspects of the game. I don't mind small bugs, but this one is pretty big & if u know something about game development you would have known that it's a fundamental thing, not a minor bug. I have a master degree in computer science, so I know how development looks like. There are much more complicated games/programs than Dota & they have 10 times less bugs. I seriously have no idea how you can defend Valve. You're also naive if u think Valve does it for free.

                              Gerry - thank you, now it works, even without +exec autoexec.cfg. I woudn't have guessed there are 2 cfg libraries, coz Source 1 was deleted.

                                ^ it is not a bug, I told u alrdy, its part of the patch and it was done intentionally

                                  I didn't say hitting Meld on TA is hard, BTW I'm not your average player

                                    it is the same for everyone - by increasing the skill cap it adds more uncertainty to fights and excitement of turnarounds. people are whining because it has made the game different and harder for them without appreciating that it has done the same for everyone and is an opportunity to get better than their opponents.
