DotaPrime runs without Overwolf and shows no ads. The overlay appears on top of Dota 2 and hides automatically when you switch to other windows.
DotaPrime gets most of its game data through Game State Integration (GSI), Valve’s interface that lets apps receive information about the current match. For some features, the app also reads certain areas of the screen.
We don’t interfere with the game and never access data hidden from your team.
The core of DotaPrime is free. Premium unlocks the app’s advanced features. Choose a yearly or a monthly subscription.

Download the app and run the installer. DotaPrime keeps itself up to date.
The setup wizard finds your Dota 2 and gets the game ready for the overlay: it sets up Game State Integration and the launch option.
You’re all set. The overlay appears over Dota 2 and hides automatically when you switch to another window. You can set the position, size and colour of every element to suit you.
Download the installer and run it. The setup wizard finds Steam and gets Dota 2 ready for the app: it adds the Game State Integration config file and sets the launch option.
At the relevant steps the wizard asks you to close Steam and Dota 2. It can also switch the game to borderless window mode. When setup is done, restart Dota 2.
If Windows shows a warning, click “More info” → “Run anyway”. Installers are downloaded only from download.dotaprime.com, and the notes for each release are published on GitHub.
The app is available in English, Russian and Ukrainian. It uses your system language by default, and you can change it in the app settings.
We recommend borderless window mode: it lets the overlay show on top of the game. The setup wizard can switch Dota 2 to this mode for you.
The overlay shows during a match. Check that DotaPrime is running, Game State Integration is set up and Dota 2 runs in borderless window mode.
If the problem remains, restart the game and the app.
Press Ctrl+Shift+F8 to turn on overlay editing mode. Drag the elements where you want them and press Enter to save the layout.
All of them work inside Dota 2 too:
You can change any of them in the app settings.
Most of the data comes through Valve’s Game State Integration (GSI). Once it is set up, Dota 2 sends the app information about the current match.
Some features also read certain areas of the screen, such as the draft, the scoreboard and your medal.
DotaPrime doesn’t read or change the game’s memory, doesn’t inject code into Dota 2 and doesn’t show information hidden from your team.
The app uses Game State Integration and reads certain areas of the screen for some features.
DotaPrime never reads or changes the game’s memory and injects nothing into Dota 2.
The app gets match data through Valve’s official Game State Integration (the same interface tournament overlays use) and from public data from OpenDota and Valve.
The optional reading of the top bar on the screen happens on your computer, in memory: no images from the screen are saved or sent.
What data the app sends, and where, is described in the Privacy Policy.
Check that the Game State Integration config file is in the right Dota 2 folder and that the launch option is set. The file is called gamestate_integration_dotaprime.cfg and sits in game\dota\cfg\gamestate_integration inside the Dota 2 folder.
To check the launch option yourself, open Steam → Library → right-click Dota 2 → Properties → General → Launch options. The field should contain -gamestateintegration. If it doesn’t, add it.
If the setup wizard has already run, try restarting Steam, Dota 2 and DotaPrime.
DotaPrime uses a light overlay that shows on top of the game. If you notice a drop in performance, turn off the features you don’t use and tell us about it.
Go to the “Report a bug” page, give the app version and describe the steps that lead to the problem.
If needed, attach a diagnostics report: copy it in the app settings with the “Copy diagnostics” button. Your Steam ID, secret token and user folder path are removed from it.

You can cancel any time: in the app (Settings → Account → Manage Premium) or at account.dotaprime.com/premium. Premium stays until the end of the period you paid for.
After you cancel, Premium stays available until the end of the period you already paid for.
Dota Plus is Valve’s paid subscription inside Dota 2: hero, item and ability suggestions, statistics, challenges and cosmetic rewards.
DotaPrime is a separate app, not affiliated with Valve. It has Roshan, rune and stack timers, reminders and alerts about what’s happening on the map, draft suggestions with the reason behind each one, and a match review with grades and advice.
DotaPrime’s core features are free. You can use it alongside Dota Plus or instead of it.
Free version for Windows 10/11 and macOS.
