The first bug fix patch for Dota 2 7.00 has yet to emerge, despite an abundance of bugs in the newest build of the popular MOBA. Now, one member of the Dota 2 community has taken it upon himself to attempt to expedite the process, with a little help from the Dota 2 subreddit.
Dota 2 fans were absolutely beside themselves last month when version 7.00 delivered the most substantial changes to the MOBA in half a decade. Dota 2 is a much different game in 2017, from the user interface down to the roster, but it’s nigh impossible to deliver an update that big without introducing some new bugs. Unfortunately, the newest Dota 2 patch emerged just two weeks before Christmas; a period when many game developers take time off to be with their families. As a result, we’ve gone nearly a month without one of the incremental updates we usually see in the wake up major Dota 2 patches. And fans are frustrated.
In an effort to expedite the patching process, redditor DimitrijaT has compiled a list of bugs, discovered by himself or another member of /r/Dota2, from the latest build of the game. And it’s already more than 4,000 words long. It’s not necessarily a complete list, and some of the problems mentioned seem like they could be one-off issues. But many of the listed bugs include links to photo/video evidence of the problem. But we have to imagine that such a sprawling compilation of problems, along with evidence for several of the bugs, will prove helpful to the Dota 2 team when they start preparing the game's next patch.
To see all of the bugs discovered in Dota 2 7.00, or to submit a new issue to the list, head over to DimitrijaT’s thread.
Dota 2 is currently available for Windows, Mac and Linux.
