Valve has released a major update for Dota 2 on PC, bringing both gameplay balancing and a comprehensive list of technical fixes. The update encompasses Gameplay Patch 7.41e and the long-awaited "Summer Scrub," a collection of fixes targeting gameplay and content bugs.
Gameplay Patch 7.41e and Summer Scrub
This update serves as a technical cleanup for the game. According to Valve, the Summer Scrub focuses on addressing intricate bugs reported by the community. Notable fixes mentioned include issues with Abaddon’s taunt and specific Dota Plus challenges for Zeus.
Because the list of changes is extensive, the developer has opted to host the full patch notes on a dedicated page rather than within the Steam news client. Players looking to review the specific balancing adjustments or bug squashes can find the full documentation at the official Dota 2 Summer Scrub page.
International Tournament Features
In addition to the patch, this update prepares the game for The International. The client now supports the following features ahead of the tournament:
- Tournament predictions
- Fantasy team management
- Supporter bundles
- New Immortals and unlockable terrains
Required Player Actions
Players do not need to perform manual configuration to access these changes. As a standard update on the Steam platform, the changes will be applied automatically the next time you launch the game client. If you encounter issues with the update, restarting your Steam client will trigger the download process.
