How could i do that? And how would i know the folder exists?

Just take a look in windows explorer if the folders and files exist as needed.
If Gamedog in settings for example shows:
g:\\steam\\SteamApps\\common\\dota 2 beta
Then open your windows explorer and type that path.
Then go to the game folder then bin then win64 and check if dota2.exe exists.
It could be if you have a 32bit install, that the win64 folder is not installed.
Please let me know.
As a workaround you can copy the win32 folder and rename it to win64 for now. It won't be used by the game but it lets gamedog know it's there.

Is the win64 folder missing? Just copy and paste the win32 Folder for now and rename the copy to win64. Sorry for that.

I'm getting a Deathadder Chroma today to test it out.
I have the feeling it's a SDK Bug 😕

I will make an update this evening that fixes it. After that update you can remove the "fake" win64 folder again.

Sorry.
Can you check if other smaller Chroma Apps like Snake for Chroma work?
Also check if the Error log of GameDog shows any error:
C:\\Users\\USERNAME\\AppData\\Roaming\\GameDog\\logs

Do you have a Windows 32 installation or Windows 64?
A few posts earlier I posted a workaround to make gamedog recognize a 32bit install.
A fix for that will come later today.
You said you reinstalled it.
Do you mean GameDog or Dota 2?
After that it disappeared?

How come you have Dota 2 and I don't have. LOL

Sorry bro I don't even know how to fix your problem probably because your using W10? I really don't know. Hope you'll have a solution to your problem or Wolfspirit replies.

Earlier I was using a GameDog with a Dota 2 option at game list then I reinstalled it using the link on your post because it was not working in my dota 2. I checked the path and its all good. Probably because it was still on beta? Oh Btw the CSGO Option is working well!

When I finished reinstalling it i notice that the Dota 2 Option at the game list is missing. Im using a 32Bit



One more thing why is it the CSGO Option is working and the Dota 2 isn't ?

Thanks for replying btw! Great job!

With a 32bit installation you either have the choice to wait until I fixed it and release it later this day, or you can go to your Dota folder:
Then go to the "game" folder then "bin".
In there there should be only a win32 Folder.
Copy and paste that folder and rename the copy to "win64".
Then GameDog should recognize it correctly.

Will the gamedog recognize it in the gamelist?

Am I doing it properly?

I'm sorry.
I'm not quiet sure what you mean.
GameDog will display it under Games when it has been detected correctly.

My main problem is the Dota 2 Option is not showing up.


But I think I can wait for the release of the 32Bit Gamedog. 🙂 Thanks bro!

Here are a few tips for that: https://gitlab.com/Chromatin/GameDog/#faq
Especially make sure the cfg file is created when you start gamedog:
After starting GameDog make sure a config file is being created under [YOUR DOTA PATH]\\game\\dota\\cfg\\gamestate_integration called gamestate_integration_gamedog.cfg


The lighting only kicks in once you join a game in dota2. It's not showing for the menu on first start.
