[invalidnick]

So, thought of making a thread with the Dota 2 Workshop Tools Updates (the ones that has release notes), copy pasted from the devs at http://store.steampowered.com/news/?appids=316570

Disclaimer/FYI: I'm usually (fashionable) late to the party, so if you are active elsewhere chances are you'd already read them, if so; feel free to post any update notes and I'll update the thread (thanks in advance)

Feel free to discuss any updates,

Fixed launch failures due to graphics device being busy on launch.

This fixes the CTD when trying to host/join a custom game through the Dota2 client,

I had this issue on one of my computers, now it runs like a...kitten

Seems like they fixed crashes on very elementary stuff. That's why I dislike alphas >.<

 

[Heinvers]

I wonder if they'll fix the OS probs too anytime.

What specific OS problems are you talking about?

This is quite the read, and I haven't had time to go through and test is all, but it looks like they have added a lot of nifty stuff!

Free to play. Better tools. Better client. Wider audience.

If you aren't looking into Dota 2 Modding I don't know what else to tell you.

Free game as DotA 2 I think less enjoyable that any item that changes the appearance of heroes, in my opinion, buying the items that change apperance. I think that I would like if the game need to pay a R$ (brazilian money) 35.00 to play that be free to play, trend less players stupids I think. But I think that know, that only this value is not enough to pay all employees, other costs and can profit I think. Not have a visual programming language similar to World Editor, not yet like this software. But respect.
