1) I come home,

2) Booted up my PC,

3) Loaded steam,

4) Proceed to launch Dota 2,

5) Needed update (about 400MB),

6) Updated,

7) Launched Dota,

8) Then when i got to the main menu everything went hay wire!

I think the game got a huge visual overhaul and now i have green boxes all over the place. Also instead of regular text there was all this code stuff. Eg instead of home it was #dota_dashboard_...(i have no idea what language). 

 

Please help,

 

I think I might need to update some sort of driver, is this what is causing it. (Aussie Internet is so slow so i avoid downloading updates)

 

Thanks.

 

P.S I will upload some pictures soon maybe even a video later.

Try updating your drivers to the latest WHQL driver.  Am unsure for AMD but I think its 14.4.

 

I am in Australia too, but it only takes 5 mins to download an NVIDIA Driver (roughly 225MB).

 

Download the new driver then go take a dump or something  :P so when you come back its done. (I'm assuming you have the same speed internet as me)
