The sun is shining, the creeps are marching, and it’s the perfect time to open up the proverbial windows and give the Dota world a healthy scrub. To that effect, we’ll be working on an update focused on bug fixes that should help get the lanes in good shape as we head into the final stretch before The International.
To assist in our efforts, we’d love the Dota community to put on your bug-hunting hats and sound off on any bugs you’ve encountered during your games. While we will be primarily looking for bug reports, we are also interested in adding some quality-of-life improvements, so if you have any ideas please don’t hesitate to share.
One of the most popular online action games of all time, Team Fortress 2 delivers constant free updates—new game modes, maps, equipment and, most importantly, hats. Nine distinct classes provide a broad range of tactical abilities and personalities, and lend themselves to a variety of player skills. So I just updated Steam, and now it tells me I need to enable Universal Access for Steam every time I launch Dota 2. I have enabled Universal Access, but it still pops up all the time. The real problem though is that I can't ALT + TAB in-game, or chat with anyone unless I do it from the Steam Application.

-nod3d9ex | Disables Windows Aero DirectX extensions; may improve performance in certain cases. |

The trade-off is that the initial load time before the dashboard will be a little longer. |
