Changes to Co-Op Bots Matchmaking Mode
Today’s update also includes some modifications to Co-Op Bots Matchmaking to help improve behavior around disconnecting and queuing in general:
- Leaver penalties no longer apply in this mode.
- If a player disconnects, a bot will control their hero while they are absent.
- Players can now queue for multiple selected difficulties and supported bot scripts simultaneously, instead of only individual selections for each.
- If a player has been in the queue for Co-Op bots for more than 2 minutes, a match will immediately be made including any players that are in the queue. Empty player slots will be filled with allied bots.
Aghanim’s Labyrinth Update
Also included a small update with a number of bug fixes for the Aghanim’s Labyrinth game mode.
Linux Runtime Update
Dota 2 has upgraded the Linux client to use the container version of the Steam runtime. This ensures better compatibility across distributions and prepares for future improvements.
