I have the same resolution as u do 21:9 3440x1440 it's simple put the folders in the game root folder as instructed just use the updated patch and remember to set ur hud to default don't use any other hud or it will not work and as a side note the game updated twice since the latest razed fix all I've done is repeat the method and all good

Can confirm this is working for me Thank you Razed

Can you get VAC banned for using this?

Until now no

Are you sure? I read somewhere else that messing with the game's dll files leads to VAC ban.
I really want to use this tweak, but I'm too afraid...

Hi as I stated until now it's OK but who knows it's valve u know

Followed the instructions but still not work...Anyone could help?

Hi, I had to rename the mods folder to HUDFIX I then moved the folder to the correct destination described by OP.
Then I went to the launch options and set -addon HUDFIX and that worked for me.

Is there a way to make this mod stay permanently? I have to run OvPatch.exe every time since DOTA is updating almost on a daily basis.

Cygus, you don't need to download & run fresh OvPatch with every game update. Only need to when game patch breaks OvPatch's patch. Which is not as often.

If anyone is interested in a severely minimalist HUD, read step #1 in below blog post. Makes HUD skin disappear, enlarging game-world view. It's for those of us with wide aspects & chunky HUD issue. It will look good for 21:9 or PLP (but will not fix LLL, their HUD is just too damn huge).

Blog post uses basically same method as OP, just different images.
Thanks Razed, great info.
