14 DAY TRIAL // After deploying the special Wraith Night themed update for Dota 2 earlier this week, Valve has now rolled out a brand new patch for the game designed to solve a few bugs spotted by players since then.
Dota 2 is one of Valve's most popular online games and the studio is taking great care of players by releasing themed updates all the time for the free-to-play experience.
Now, after the Wraith Night in-game event that went live earlier this week, Valve has just confirmed that a brand new patch is also available for download.
The update fixes a few bugs with the Wraith Night mode as well as some issues spotted by players in the new ranked matchmaking system, which was also added to the game this week.
Check out the full changelog below, via Steam.
* Wraith King has risen * Fixed Recruits sorting in the wrong direction * Fixed Captain crowns showing on all players when spectating CM games
* Added matchmaking preference to use themed or classic map * Ranked matchmaking will always use the classic map. (This is to minimize fragmentation of the matchmaking pool) * Tuned quality thresholds in ranked matchmaking to wait longer and require a higher quality match * Private lobbies will use classic map if tournament version is selected in lobby settings * Fixed bug causing full parties of 5 players to wait needlessly when searching for Wraith-Night or Coop Bot matches
Frostivus: * Rebalanced both Shadow Fragments and Shining Fragments rewards * Fixed towers sometimes becoming invulnerable * Fixed CM hero selection being limited after a Frostivus game * Fixed buy back cost not being reset on new game with increased difficulty * After defeating Wraith King end panel now correctly shows up and shows fragment rewards and allows voting * Added conversion of Shining Fragments to Shadow Fragments
The new update is already live on the PC platform via Steam.
