Learn how to report bugs in Dota 2 and help fix the issues affecting your gameplay!
Dota 2 is arguably one of the greatest MOBA games ever made, but even great games can have bugs. When those bugs appear, reporting them and getting them fixed is often the first thing on the player’s mind. But while some games have in-game bug report options, for Dota 2 there’s a slightly different method. Here’s how to report bugs in Dota 2 to the developers, Valve:
How to report Dota 2 bugs to Valve
While it’s not immediately apparent, there is an official place to report Dota 2 bugs to Valve. That’s theDota 2 Public Bug Tracker on GitHub. There you’ll find an index of all the current bugs and their upcoming fixes to Dota 2.
Reporting Dota 2 bugs
Here’s the process for reporting a bug on the Dota 2 GitHub
You’ll likely not receive a response directly from Valve developers. Instead, the reports will likely be collated into a behind the scenes bug tracker. For instance if a dozen or more people are reporting the same bug, the developers will likely flag it as a real issue and attempt to solve it. However, you may receive replies on the post asking for more details.
We would also suggest not using this as a forum to appeal unfair bans, report cheaters, or otherwise complain about the game. There are other avenues for this in-game and elsewhere on the internet, and this GitHub should only be used for real bugs and errors.
