10th Anniversary update causing crash

Your system information

• Have you checked for system updates?: [Yes/No] N/A

• Are you using the latest stable video driver available for your system? [Yes/No] N/A

  NVIDIA Driver Version: 525.125.06 NVML Version: 12.525.125.06

• Have you verified the game files?: [Yes/No] Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Exactly from when the 10th Anniversary update (and animation) has been downloaded the game crashes 100% of the times.

The game just crashes on startup, during the animation running, always, exactly and reliably at the same instant.

This is a screenshot of when the game freeze. The screen freezes like this:

A wild guess is that some artist made some mess with some shaders that are giving problems on some systems.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

1. Start the game
2. Wait for the "shine" effect on "10th" of the animation.
3. Game freezes.

Are there any workaround to disable the ("cool" and totally superfluous) animation at startup (notice that we are not talking about the intro video and it has never been mentioned).

Best Regards

Hello @diniciacci, this issue is already being tracked at https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Dota-2/issues/2414 and appears to be specific to the NVIDIA 525 series video driver.

Closing as a duplicate.

Just noticed that this is a "duplicate" of #10794 (likely missplaced)

Hey bro. Sorry just saying. I have this problem with AMD graphic card too. Game just get freezed every 2-3 minute for 5-10 seconds. Only dota has this problem. Checked both D11 and Vulkan too. Fix it. Can't play dota since 10th anniversary update
