In Dota 2, there has been a drop in FPS after the release of the 7.34d update

Dota 2 players are growing concerned about a drop in game performance following the release of patch 7.34d. Many gamers have noticed a significant decrease in frame rates, with some experiencing a drop from a comfortable 100 frames per second down to a mere 20 frames per second. Complaints about FPS issues are actively being discussed on the popular gaming forum Reddit.

The FPS counter still displays over 120 frames, but the gameplay stutters as if it's running at 10 frames. It's entirely unplayable. My teammate was furious and kept blaming the computer.

This problem has affected numerous players, and some have also reported unusual behavior in the FPS counter and screen resolution distortion, making the gaming experience less enjoyable and comfortable. Even after attempting to reinstall the game, the issue persists, forcing players to contend with it during gameplay.

Interestingly, patch 7.34d was released just ahead of The International 2023 event, scheduled for October 12th. Previously, Valve had stated that Dota 2 updates would only be released after the conclusion of this major championship.
