DOTA 2

News

A small update to Dota 2 on January 8 fixed some major and minor bugs, as well as solving some issues with Frostivus chests.

While it still feels like the Winter break for some, Valve has been hard at work updating Dota 2 (we hope), and yesterday evening released a small patch fixing some frustrating bugs and other issues. Released for Dota 2 late on Jan. 8 (but Jan. 9 for the rest of the world), the untitled update fixed one crucial issue: Frostivus 2023 Treasure Chests missing some of the more unusual variants.

As per the post on the Dota 2 Steam Page: “Some items from the Frostivus 2023 Treasure Chest were missing unusual variants. Those have been added. Over the next couple days, unusual items from these sets that should have been dropped will be granted.”

Beyond this Valve has been fixing a few minor bugs and issues, including particle issues, and Lina apparently getting permanent Fiery Soul stacks. You’re telling us Lina is broken in January? Feels like 2023 all over again. Here’s a full breakdown of the fixes:

These fixes were apparently made over the past few days, so if you didn’t notice it, you can be forgiven. Valve hasn’t given a date for their next big patch, but we kind of expect it to drop in February, right in time to disrupt some tournaments.
