Via r/DotA2

Looks like we may be getting on an official fix for the issue in the future.

Hey guys, the newest Dota2 update broke OVPatch, resulting in an error that says 'Client.dll is damaged"...but there is a workaround!

You need to patch it by selecting "Dota 2 - Reborn Beta" instead of the x64 option. Next, you need to right-click Dota2 in the Steam library, go to Properties and then add -win32 to the command line. You will now be able to use the HUD fix once again.

Hi latest update broke the fix any tips ?

Hi my dota2 cannot be running with your HUD fix file even I tried your workround of the latest version of dota2
In my case, the error is 'failed to load the engine2 DLL' instead of 'Client.dll'
Is there any way to fix it?

The new compendium update removed the -addon command, so this does not work anymore. There is currently no workaround that I know of. Perhaps someone else wants to look into a solution?

It's really odd that three years later, the game still doesn't support ultrawide resolutions properly due to HUD not scaling.

Here is my solution:
1:Download the mod file 'Reborn_Mods.rar' which in this link https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4z_-cgFrS03SzJhWDNUYWpSQ28 or the attachment below.
2.Extract it and put the folder 'Reborn_Mods' to \Steam\steamapps\common\dota 2 beta\game
3.Open gameinfo.gi on \steamapps\common\dota 2 beta\game\dota by Notepad
add 'Game Reborn_Mods '
between
'Game_LowViolence dota_lv'
and
'Game dota'
4.Open DotA2 and enjoy it, remember to select the default HUD

It's working fine, no need -addon command

KNOWN ISSUE: CANNOT DOWNLOAD ANY REPLAYS WITH THIS MOD, BUT THE DOWNLOADED REPLAYS PLAYS FINE.

I have been using yhc1994's fix successfully for a while. Thanks so much!

However, I have also been having unexplained client crashes in the same period. Wondering if anyone else using this fix has experienced crashing. It could be something specific about my setup, but I'm not sure.
