6 years ago Your GT 640M has only 1GB of GPU memory which is currently below the minspec for Dota 2 on Vulkan (see note here: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Dota-2-Vulkan):
- 2GB of GPU Memory required - may experience crashes with < 2GB of GPU memory.
The things you could try if you want to play with only 1GB of memory would be:
- Add -newtexturestreaming to your command-line options.
- Set texture detail to Low
- Play at a lower resolution
Unfortunately though right now 1GB is below the minspec.

Heard that vulkan is being better than dx/gl and would like to try. but no luck. I checked compatibility and matched my laptop nvidea geforce 640 LE. however, dota2 always crashes when starting the game play. I can start up only until hero selection! please help me to taste the vulkan plz.
