Thank you Valve for fixing so many bugs quickly last week (like the Enigma black hole bug) and often quietly (like the Lycan ult bug, which was not mentioned in the patch notes).

Since it worked last time... Below are the known remaining cosmetic/visual bugs. If you know of anything I missed, please comment below with a description and a picture.

Effigies

  • All effigy portraits are still showing default hero models. See below picture.

  • Golden effigy bases are improperly lit {pic}. This Dota 2 wiki page shows what it should look like: {pic}

  • TI5 effigy bases are not lighting correctly either (compare the in-game colors on the base in {pic 1} with the way it looks without any lighting in {pic 2}. People have told me this is my computer's fault. No, this is a game problem: see these screenshots from Arteezy's stream about an hour ago. {Golden effigy outlined in pink} {normal TI5 Effigy outlined in pink}. The stream quality is low but you can see that even on his presumably very good computer, the effigies still have incorrect lighting.

  • TI3 and TI5 effigy textures looking way grainier than Source 1. Regrettably, the only source 1 screenshots I have are of a TI4 KotL effigy {here}. Compare this to the current textures. {pic}. Could be intended, but given the other effigy bugs, I doubt it.

  • Effigies bugging out in general {pic}; several have been on the front page the past week {link}.

Aegis

  • Customers who paid ~$400 to get a level 1000 compendium still aren't getting their Aegis particle effect in matchmaking. It should glow in base in matchmaking games, but currently it only appears in lobby games. {pic} Credit to /u/by-myself_blumpkin

Terrorblade

Has so many bugs he needs his own category:

  • Default base model eye particles are not appearing correctly. {Source 2 pic; note the eyes} compare with {Source 1 pic taken from a stream}

  • Default meta demon's particles (1) do not have the correct blue color, and (2) have a weird green artifact or something in Armory view. {Source 2 in-game} compare with {Source 1 in-game, TB alongside a Rubick who stole meta}. Again, you can also reference the Source 2 pic above. This also affects Illusions!

  • Non-arcana cosmetic base model items (such as the new set) do not have particles around TB's eyes, and possibly other areas. I assume this is because the particles are matched to these cosmetic slots (allowing the Arcana to have custom particles in the face area), but I do not know. {pic}

  • Cosmetic meta demon forms are also reportedly missing their particles (i.e. Baleful Hollow set) and/or bugging out the same way the default ones do (the new set released yesterday). See the bottom right: {pic}. This also affects Illusions!

Couriers

  • Drodo the Druffin's particles are missing in-game and in armory. I am referring to the TI2 particle effect, not the feathers (which are still working). (I saw this in a pro game, so I don't think this is a demo bug.) {pic}

  • Unusual courier effects do not show in the marketplace purchase tab but do show in the armor. To explain, here {pic} is what I get when I select my owned Smeevil in my Armory. Here {pic} is what I get when I select a Smeevil on the market. The easy explanation would be that the market Smeevil is just missing its unusual gem or something. However, I had this same issue several days ago, which suggests to me that it's unlikely the same Smeevil would be listed.

Heroes

  • Alchemist's missing Immortal particles for Greevil's Greed {pic} (each frame is Source 2, just different frames of the animation).

  • Ember Spirit:

  1. Ember's head turns upward too far when he walks now. {pic}

  2. Ember's remnants have weird fragmented textures compared to Source 1 {Source 2 pic} versus {Source 1 pic}

  • CK's Armlet only shows the particle effect in-game from top-down view, but the item appears correctly in the Armory and in Showcase view (suggesting it's a geometry issue just like the Nyx Dagon cosmetic). The bug symptoms are exactly the same as with the Nyx Dagon. {pic showing in-game view with only particles and a missing Armlet}. It's probably worth checking other items that came from that Luckbox chest since that's the only similarity between the two items that both share this odd bug.

  • Abaddon's eyes appear sad from where his helm partially covers the particles {pic}.

  • Vengeful Spirit's Immortal Wave of Terror particle effect was changed to be higher quality, but it still does not attach to the weapon itself. {pic}

  • Greevil parts (any nose/ear/tail/etc.) appear as gray instead of the Greevil's color {pic}. They used to appear as white. Since last weekend's patch these parts are now black. However, they are supposed to be the same color that the greevil is {pic} instead of black. The Dreaded Greevil (which is black) looks as intended, funnily enough.

  • TA's immortal effect does not stack with the Mask of the Third Insight effect anymore {pic} (possibly intended. I'm in the camp that it's not a bug, but who knows.

  • Tidehunter's immortal diving helm's portrait bugs out {pic},

Announcers

Loading Screens

  • When demoing a hero since the new patch, you briefly get superimposed Dota logos as your loading screen. Could happen in real games too. {pic}

Profile Issues

  • MMR does not update immediately after a match on your profile but does in-game.

  • At least some cosmetics do not have tournament tags (such as "The International 3").

  • Trophies sometimes disappear on the profile and return after refreshing the profile. (Related note: please give us the Last Hit Challenge back, Valve.)

  • Finally, does anyone know if this Steam inventory bug which prevents some people from even buying items off the market was fixed? See this dev forum thread. I have been wondering if the changes to the Armory might have fixed that.

Neutrals

  • Neutrals keep playing their attack/healing animations or have no death animation at all when they die.

  • Neutrals something keep stuck in weird animation positions after returning to the camp.

  • "Dominated siege creeps use the death animation from their original and not current team," {pic]} by /u/craig_k

General Gameplay Source 1 Parity Issues

  • Riki's backstab sound effect is not playing on hit. {For proof, just start a bot match and compare it to this video of how it used to sound.}

  • Alchemist's Acid Spray is literally almost impossible to see on Radiant. {pic} If this is an intended balance change, I think it should be noted.

  • Tower models are not showing their damage taken as the tower's HP dies. Note that all of the towers (t1, t2, and t3 in that order) are in perfect condition despite being near deny range: {pic}. In Source 1, the model would break and deteriorate to reflect the state of the tower.

Unverified/Subjective Issues I would like people to test in their own games:

  • Personally, though I get 59-60 fps everywhere else and during most teamfights, I get consistently low FPS (constantly changing between 40-50) around the Radiant Secret Shop and Radiant top Tier 1 Tower for no apparent reason. This occurs even when it's an empty bot match with just my hero, and it occurs even through fog.

  • Chronosphere slows my FPS to 30. No other ability in the game does this. I realize this isn't a bug, but perhaps it is something that Valve could work on. I would bet that it's due to the particles created when Faceless Void moves around in Chrono.

Have you posted this to the dev forums?

Just saying, FishCakes seems to have come back to dota (an oldschool, 2011-time developer who left dota in 2013) and he's the guy behind the recent cosmetic fixes.

[–]admiralallahackbar 35 points36 points  (14 children)

Have you posted this to the dev forums?

Yeah, you just replied to my dev forum post.

[–]FishPls 3 points4 points  (13 children)

Heh, i just think that guy doesn't read reddit, so you may have better chances at the forum.

[–]You can't run from Spirit Breaker!LisandreL 5 points6 points  (1 child)

It's more like they do not read their own dev forum but reddit only.

[–]Who puts their skeleton on the inside?pepe_le_shoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's certainly what it seems like, given how things posted on reddit get fixed very quickly, and threads on the dev forums sit for days/months/years without even being acknowledged.

[–]admiralallahackbar -2 points-1 points  (10 children)

To my knowledge, the black hole bug they fixed was not posted about anywhere else but here, suggesting to me that at least someone in charge of fixing particles does read reddit.

[–]FishPls 5 points6 points  (9 children)

Yeah, but all the Arcana fixes last week were fixed because they were posted to the forums. (I saw FishCakes viewing the thread)

You forgot that you still can't use announcers and hud skins of other players

[–]JukePlz 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Also:

  • Neutrals keep playing their attack/healing animations or have no death animation at all when they die.

  • Neutrals something keep stuck in weird animation positions after returning to the camp.

I haven't been able to utilize shared announcers in reborn (friends have rick and morty). When I click to change over, nothing happens and I still have the same announcer that I had equipped before (same as not being able to change sets on respawn, maybe).

At one point there was a bug allowing you to see pets when heroes were in fog. Not sure about the specifics of it or whether its been fixed.

[–]This certainly is text.Treemeister_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure it's still in there, unless they stealth fixed it in this patch.

[–]Lord_Valour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a visual/cosmetic bug but I'd like to shine the spotlight on this. All-hero challenge doesn't show up for some profiles. Mine included. I can only see which is my current hero from my choose hero screen. A friend has the same problem even when I view his profile. Yet I can view other players all-hero challenges on their profiles normally.

[–]Blumengarten 0 points1 point  (2 children)

The demon form of the tb set also has its own white particles (which should really be blue without the arcana) which aren't changed when equipping the arcana so you get a mix of white and whatever prismatic gem color you chose for particles.

[–]admiralallahackbar 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Those aren't the set's particles. The TB default particles (which all non-arcana sets use) are bugged. It's just much more obvious with the new set.

[–]Blumengarten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I see. Thanks.

    TB's Purgatory set Metamorph missing it's "background" on the portrait. I'm pretty sure this isn't intentional because back in S1, Invoker's Glorious Inspiration also doesn't have its background, but was fixed in S2

    TB's Eternal Purgatory set's weapon does not have any particles effects. http://i.imgur.com/Inh6ExK.jpg

    And i do remember seeing particle effects on the weapon in the workshop

    [–]Whelpie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I've got another one for you. Try using the Tentacular Timelord set for Void with his immortal. This was in Source 1 as well, but it's still incredibly annoying. Basically, the loadout pose and the portrait freak out switching between the two poses rather than just picking one at random like with, say, using two different Doom loadout pose gems.

    [–]jkaos92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I want to add: FIX THE DAMN FPS DROP.
    I did this post yesterday and it seems like i'm not the only one to have huge problems. It's ok to fix small bugs too, but Dota 2 it's almost unplayable for a lot of us right now. My Dota 2 graphics regressed from ultra-setting to Super Mario in 1 month.

    Techies Arcana remote mines still don't properly reflect prismatic gem colors. They are always Green no matter what color you have equipped.

    [–]sheeverpurpleyak0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Two more things to add to the list:

    1) Golden T15 Autograph missing pic of autograph, now just shows purple checkerboard, pic2 (it used to be shown as gold in Source 1). Other T15 autographs may also be missing signature pic or complete name of player.

    2) Partial coloration of greevil couriers. Body with pigment, but nose, tail, wings, etc... grey. Almost fixed, but not quite....

    [–]Stryghor puns!TheOneTrueDoge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    The announcer bug is a real shame. Thanks for keeping this list up!

    At this point I am sure Valve searchs for recent posts with keywords "bugs" / "broken" / "fix" / "valve" on this subreddit just so they can find bugs that were not upvoted.

    I remember reporting the Armory Sorting problem 2 times and didn't get enough upvotes to show on frontpage, they still fixed it like on the next weekly patch after I posted it.

    The Windranger response has been there ever since the change that was like 1 or 2 years ago. It was used in Source 1 but one of the Source 2 patches reverted it for some reason. Now it's fixed again, so basically no. Sorry to kill your hype though :(

    Jen Taylor does a lot of other professional voice work. She probably just recorded the lines from her home studio. The audio quality is noticeably different in the replacement clips.

    [–]sketchapotamus 2 points3 points  (11 children)

    Don't worry, the game still secretly calls her Windrunner. In a private lobby if you want to spawn "Windranger" you have to type -createhero windrunner. This command feels far closer to the core of the engine than a stupid name replacing the correct name.

      Internal names dont have to be fixed. "Fixing" them might break much more than you wish would break.

      So they keep the internal strings the same, but change their display name (Internal: Windrunner, display name: Windranger).

        Observer and Sentry Wards - item_ward_dispenser

        item_ward_observer & item_ward_sentry work as well.

        The new tardy name is only for the "Obs + Sentry bundle".


        A few of the commands are simply retarded, like shadow blade, the crit items & the drums, but most hero related ones are fine.

          For reference, there are 15-17 heroes which you will not be able to spawn without guessing/looking them up. Sure, it's better than items but it's not a problem which should exist in the first place.

          Obsidian Destroyer & Skeleton King, but otherwise you should be able to spawn most of them, since at least parts of their name are still identical.

          It is "okay" at the moment, but if they have to change one or two things, they should simple just change all of them, for consistency reasons.

            [–]sketchapotamus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

            item_ultimate_scepter always bugged me. No where near as bad as drums, but it's something that I guessed at like 20 times before breaking down and googling it. The whole system seems like one programmer was adding this stuff in to test things and then never bothered changing it. If two or more people had a hand in it I'm sure they would have settled on some convention.

            [–]TrueTurtleKing 24 points25 points  (6 children)

            I like how we accepted that PitLord is never going to come out so we moved onto ArcWarden.

            [–]I have seen how this war ends.Ruinous_HellFire 9 points10 points  (3 children)

            Honestly, with the Zeus arcana on the horizon, it would make more sense to bundle Arc Warden with that anyways. We got an entire event with PA + Arcana + Oracle as a contract killing thing, so we should get Zeus + Arcana + Arc Warden as a lightning thing.

            [–]i accidentally removed my eg flairDreey109 19 points20 points  (1 child)

            Zeus shits a lightning bolt which develops to a full Arc Warden who will bring an Arcana with him and a quest to slay Axe.

            Axe defends a lightning strike with Axe's axe then his axe becomes a shiny (trigger warning) golden immortal axe filled with electricity which drains all the life from the Dota terrain making it a desert, when finally the river goes so dry it begins to crack and open a pit from which Pit Lord rises.

              Intellectual property involves anything "deceptively similar" which does not only have to be spelled alike. Sounds alike can already be a breach. Yep, technicalities.

              [–]mickeymouse00 0 points1 point  (3 children)

              Yet hearthstone can get away with Harrison Jones or the Hamburglar?

              [–]BEERTUS PRUsmittymj 1 point2 points  (1 child)

              More technicalities then. It can also depend on the person who owns the intellectual rights. Most of the time, people exercise their rights when a competitor or person is in a similar or related industry and claims direct benefits from the usage of someone else's rights.

              In your case: (1) Video game industry doesn't relate that much to the film/food & beverage industry, (2) I highly doubt Lucas Films or McDonald's cares about the video game industry that much, and (3) I highly doubt Hearthstone gains any actual direct material benefit from using the names like people playing Hearthstone or using those cards because of being fans of Indiana Jones/McDonald's.

              In Valve's case of Windrunner vs Windranger, the likelihood of intellectual property violations is higher: (1) Both Valve and Blizzard belong in the same industry (video games), (2) They both have similar games (Dota and Heroes), and (3) Windrunner is a prominent elven family in Warcraft and one of its main characters is a Windrunner.

              Although it should be noted that the courts are also inconsistent in their applications but the above are the basic premises.
