dota2 crash on linux after the last update if I wait a little it's work but it's still appear on the game
Having the exact same issue. I can run dota for a bit, and then crash. Crashes get more frequent until I reboot (haven't tried pkilling steam, but pkilling dota doesn't work either). Crashes seem to be more often in teamfights, when certain abilities with a lot of particles or used and when match time tuns to day.

Same issue here, since the patch I constantly get "dota2 is not responding" during games and if I wait I get disconnected after 10 seconds or so. I also noticed glitchy graphics in the upper left corner of the screen. With patch 7.39, dota2 is basically not playable on Linux.
Some more system info in case it helps:

Fixed it with -autoconfig launch parameter. Tinker your graphics settings. In my case it does not launch in windowed mode.

this does not work for me, it keeps freezing

Tried with -autoconfig, it went back to using my native screen resolution 3840x2160 rather than 1920x1080 and that does seem to fix the glitchy graphics. But it doesn't help with the "dota2 is not responding" into game disconnect issue.
same issue Dota2 is not responding and disconnect on Arch with rtx 3050 (nvidia 570 driver) doesn't crash in spectator mode, but it does during gameplay.
Same issue here. I've also started experiencing fps drop when I switch keyboard layout (ru,en)

Just wanted to add that when I "force quit", running "coredumpctl info dota2" shows stack traces like this:
Message: Process 11969 (dota2) of user 1000 dumped core.
Stack trace of thread 11969:

So maybe related to libpangocairo?
Stutter and crashes here also with the "app not responding" notification.
If I wait for 20 - 40 sec in the notification it might continue the game for a bit until next crash.
This seems to coincide with usage of mana boots or ink swell and other skills out of and in fights.

Dota has been running fine before last nights update to 3.39.
Ask for more info and thou shall receive 👼 I also reported an issue to steam support no response yet.
While reading another bug report from last night here, I realized that this might be related to input methods. I had fcitx in use as an input method and after last update could not type to any of the chat boxes in any of Dota menu, heroselection or match chats.
From there I went to test input in dota 2 menu and I could reproduce the crash with pressing a key for ~10 seconds and clicking mouse anywhere. So my guess is that the input system is the culprit after all we do a lot of input in game and it would seem reasonable if the input system is somehow fracked with the last update it could cause freeze and non responsive warnings.
Swapped to IBUS input method with im-config and rebooted ran steam and dota. Now at least the input goes to chats and I can type. 😓
Also long presses of keys and causing a lot of input with mouse in dota menu is now working and the app doesnt go to the unresponsive dialog anymore. Maybe I can try to play now. 👍 😓
Edit for workaround to get playing: No it wasn't enough for me to fix input system for Dota ^ I needed to also make the game use xwayland with the commandline parameter as stated by @fisxoj and others in other bugs and reddit.
I'm also getting freezes since the 7.39 update. I tried looking at the console and the part that sticks out to me is the "Processing SDL events took ...ms" lines, where the number is usually about the length of time the game is hung for.
I'm able to get a working dota by putting
SDL_VIDEO_DRIVER=x11 %command% into the launch options box for the game, so it does seem wayland/input related to me!
I also confirm that "SDL_VIDEO_DRIVER=x11 %command%" in the launch options fixes the problem for me.
maybe someone from valve can look into this sooner or later... many games were unintentionally griefed and destroyed because of this glitch happening at random
system here freezes here too at random for a long time... sometimes it disconnects me from the game sometimes not but when it starts to work again my camera is permanently moving into one direction until i restart dota2

Also affect me. Does not appear when watching games but when playing one. I've encountered this issue multiple times and am now in low priority due to this issue.
Now also displays this message when trying to launch the game.

I also noticed the overlay doesn't work anymore. If that's related, seems like the fastest way to repro.
Same issue here. Game keeps freezing during gameplay, for over 10 seconds at a time. Makes the game unplayable.

Same issue here, could it be related to this other bug: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Dota-2/issues/3225
EDIT: this works as a workaround until it is fixed: SDL_VIDEO_DRIVER=x11 %command%
Basically I can workaround it by running Gnome x server session and then it allow me to play matches without crash but every time when I open game settings it crash.
So:
- Wayland session (or SDL set to Wayland) cause constantly crashing in main menu, in game and in setting (always).
- xorg session (or SDL set to X11) cause crash only when open game settings (top left corner).
Similar behavior to everyone else in the thread, game crashes on start, sometimes it allows me to go in and get into demo mode or spectate but then I get two kind of errors:
or
Item definition 6917: Missing required field "item_class"Item
AbortMessage({Failed to initialize event schema. Error parsing event 'EVENT_ID_INTERNATIONAL_2016'. Error parsing 'purchase_points_item_defs'. Item def 'The International 2016 - 5 Battle Pass Levels' not found.

Have the same - I try "SDL_VIDEO_DRIVER=x11" launch option EDIT: Player 1 game - issue is gone with this launch option ... https://gist.github.com/ChrisLauinger77/ac3f8a7cf89c1499688617bbad1d0cdb
yeah this solves the problem "SDL_VIDEO_DRIVER=x11"
This did not fix the problem for me
yeah this solves the problem "SDL_VIDEO_DRIVER=x11"

Probably no xserver / xwayland on your machine installed ... Yesterdays update I tried without this launch option and it did not crash any more.
