    I play on a macbook air. Crazy I know but it's good enough I don’t need 3A graphics to enjot the game. However the ping sometimes goes out of control and randomly disconnects me at unfortunate times. It’s not my net I can play on my PS4 just fine without lag but I get:

    Disconnected from server

    No steam login

    Game coordinator did not respond

    Ussually these 3 messages. Can anyone help? I’ve tried reinstalling steam and the game nothing worked

    invis?

          I used to play on a MacBook Pro and regularly found I’d get problems. Bugs don’t get found/fixed as quickly seeing as there are less players.

          Just got to live with it I think...

          Have you tried a wired internet connection instead of WiFi?

            Maybe ask this from steam supoort and dota2dev forums?

              First you need to make sure whether the Mac OS or Dota 2 have connection problem.

              If you can play other online games on your Mac without any problem, then there's something wrong with your dota configuration.
              Otherwise, try refresh/reset connection setting & update your OS.

              But get a windows PC/notebook is faster solution IMO.

                Honestly most wireless cards in laptops suck and arent meant for gaming. Macbook air is definitely not the ideal device to play games that require a fast steady connection.

                My advice to you is to plug into a hardlined ethernet, or use an adapter if you dont have the port in your laptop. IT will eliminate all of the spiking and random DC's

                      changing laptop should fix most of the problems

                        As Divine owl stated, an Ethernet cable directly into your laptop will fix the problem.
