DOTA 2
News
Players with low behavior score could be trapped in matches that couldn’t be unpaused by “less toxic” players before this update.
With a huge update coming to Dota 2 on August 31, it’s no wonder there were a fair few bugs and missed features. As a result, a big list of fixes and updates were made live late on September 1 to kick off the new month of Dota 2 play. But in particular, one major issue was fixed.
Dota 2 games that couldn’t be unpaused
That issue was that a low behavior score prevented you from pausing and unpausing. However, this was quickly abused, as per a story from Reddit user u/EffectiveHousing2582 shared:
As per the post, one player went to eat, realizing they had the highest behavior score in the entire game, and paused. This trapped players with lower behavior scores from even being able to unpause for over an hour.
Luckily, that problem is no more as Valve quickly fixed the issue in thelatest patch. Now if you’re trapped in a pause by a malicious player with higher behaviour score, you can still unpause after five seconds and continue playing Dota 2:
And here are the full patch notes, just in case you’re interested:
Changes to Armory and loadouts
Fixes to reports and commends
Overall, there are a lot of quality-of-life fixes. But we’re still chuckling over the nine Dota 2 players trapped in a game, unable to unpause, as they’re all as toxic as one another. Although, we wouldn’t be laughing if it happened to us!
