the client reaches the site again after its move to a new server

since the afternoon of 2026-09-26 the site answers from a new server with a certificate from another authority, and the client refused it: the store tab showed an error and a paid session could not start. the client now accepts the new server's certificate chain as well as the old route's, so both ways to the site work, and a routine renewal of either certificate does not need a client update.

evolve spends about half as much of each frame, and a client freeze is fixed

the dll and the shared script layer now cost less per frame: on the heaviest combo the frame share fell from about 4.8 ms to 2.7 ms and the worst 1% of frames from about 48 ms to 10 ms; idle in a crowded fight went from about 3.0 ms to 2.0 ms. orders and drawing are unchanged. the client could freeze when a script created, moved or removed a particle while the game thread was busy; particle calls are now made where the engine expects them, and scripts see no difference.

the menu is rebuilt around a named rail, a group column and cards

The rail on the left names its tabs and adds Home and Keys. The group column lists a tab's groups with their icons and a search of its own, keeps the hero you are playing at the top, and turns a group's children into tabs on its page. Options sit in cards: a switch that owns other options heads its own card with its spell icon and folds away while it is off. A bar under the page says what the option under the pointer does and what its default is, a changed option is marked and resets in one click, sliders with named values are drawn as words, and hotkeys as keycaps with hold or toggle beside them. The menu speaks Russian or English (switch in the header), scales itself from the screen height (100% at 1080p), and has a new look: a blue-black palette, lit switches, smooth scrolling, and a short motion on every icon when the pointer reaches it.

Home shows the first-run steps, the hero you are playing with its switch and key, and what is switched on right now. Keys lists every bind of every script and settles a key that two actions share in place.

Scripts get notifications (notify.show: cards the client draws, with buttons and progress, and a status pill for toggle keys) and movable panels (ui.panel): with the menu open, every panel and the notification slot can be dragged, snaps to the screen's middle and edges and to other panels, and stays where it was put. New in the lua api: ui.group_meta, ui.menu_lang, ui.menu_search, and hint, section, names, reset and is_default on controls. renderer.blur_behind no longer hides everything drawn after it in the same frame.

icons load on the first frame, and the menu keeps its sections through a reload

icons are read straight out of the game's own files instead of waiting for dota to have shown them. before, an icon the client had not drawn yet this session came back blank, often for the rest of the session, and even the ones it had drawn took several seconds after inject. every panorama image now resolves on the first request; 120 hero portraits load in about 40 ms, once.

the menu lost sections after a script reload: Misc could show only one script's groups, a search result for a camera setting opened a page without it, and Theme came back empty. a lowercase "misc" was being kept as a second tab beside Misc; it is one tab now, and settings saved under the old spelling still load. the theme registers its settings again on every reload, and a change made just before a reload is saved first instead of lost.

order timing: orders one script hands over leave in the order it gave them, and a script's own queued orders no longer use up the burst allowance of the orders behind them, so a sequence is not split or reordered on the way out. the release event now names the ability each order was for.

Pack models that come with a metadata file load again on ordinary accounts. Outside developer accounts they had been refused at startup, so motion prediction and several planners never started.

The order-timing model and its tick table load as soon as the session is ready. Before, if they were first asked for before that, they stayed off until the next launch.

In-game store: if a listing's price changed after the page loaded, the click no longer charges the new price. The card shows the new price and asks again.

Lua api: http.host_status(url) returns whether a host is allowed, denied, or will be asked about. The compat HTTP.IsHostWhitelisted answers from it instead of always saying yes.

paid content switches off cleanly when a subscription lapses; a dropped connection no longer leaves a paid script unloaded for the session; free listings can be taken from the in-game store again; unloading can no longer hang on the store worker

models and the inference runtime load from the installed folder again on a launcher install, where they had been falling back to defaults since early september; a windows profile with a non-latin name finds its install; a few more ways for a script to reach outside its own folders are closed; a stray file in the scripts folder can no longer crash the game

closed api holes so a script can't read, write or reach past its own jail; the client now checks for a real session before it runs

updates download only what changed

The launcher used to fetch about 49 MB after every release, whatever the release touched. Now a release costs the files it changed: an update that fixes one script is a few hundred kilobytes instead of the whole download. The first update after this release still downloads everything once.

A republish: the client and its offsets are unchanged from the previous build. What moved is the script payload it carries, and each pack's own page says what changed in it.

the menu's search field no longer stands out as a lighter plate: it sits flat on the header and shows its well under the pointer.

the in-game menu plays its brand once per session instead of on every open, slider tracks hold still while you drag, every control in a row answers a click at full row height, long groups scroll without measuring what is off screen, and a reduce-motion switch lands every transition at once. the launcher's toggles are named for screen readers, honour reduced motion, and the rail's six glyphs move on the same clock as the menu's.

the menu's rail glyphs now move when the pointer arrives, the way the launcher's do: the bag swings, the gear turns a tooth, the tiles settle. the motion shipped in the previous build but its clock was never fed, so every hover sat on the still glyph.

launcher: the setup countdown no longer swings between seconds and half an hour. it reads the line rate and the per-request cost separately, fetches the large files first so the rate is known at once, and moves the figure the way a browser's download manager does: down quickly, up slowly, never in jumps.

the store now has three steps, each its own thing: you get a script (or buy it), you install it onto your account's list, and you switch it on in the client. uninstall takes it off the list and keeps what you bought. the same three verbs are on the site, in the launcher and in the in-game store, and a change made in one place reaches the other two.

in the menu the Store tab is a shop, scripts and configs. the Config tab is gone: Settings now leads with your installed scripts and configs, then appearance, input and the danger zone. the scripts list shows one row per script with its version.

script authors: a row that exists both as a file in your tree and as a published copy shows a local | market switch, so the shipped copy can be run and tested without renaming anything. while the market copy is selected, edits to the file do not apply and the row says so. lua gains scripts.owned, scripts.source, scripts.install, ui.menu_open and ui.menu_navigate.

launcher: the store follows the same three steps, and the setup screen's time remaining is now measured from the recent download rate against the whole payload instead of an average that started at fifteen seconds and grew.

the rail glyphs move when the pointer arrives

each tab glyph plays one motion of its own the moment the pointer reaches its cell: the blades cross, the radar sweeps once, the eye blinks, the bell swings from its hook, the gear turns a tooth, the cursor presses, the layers fan, the list rows step in, the bag swings on its handle. once per arrival and not while the pointer sits, since a looping glyph asks for attention and a tab does not.

the rail draws from the baked icon font, and a font glyph is one shape that cannot open or turn. so for the 420ms a motion runs the glyph is drawn as strokes instead, from the same lucide paths the font was built from, element by element, with the moving element transformed; at rest it is the font again, and the two sit on the same pixels. the path flattener in ui2_icons.cpp covers the svg grammar lucide uses, arcs included. the loader's rail plays the same way from its next release.

the client no longer dies when a script loads a font mid-session, and every player's rank is on screen

The 2026-09-19 game build crashes inside the graphics driver when the font atlas is replaced and the old texture is released in the same frame. The atlas is now rebuilt on its own and the old texture is held for three hundred frames before it goes.

players.profile(pid) reads a slot's name, team, steam id, rank tier and leaderboard rank out of the player resource. A new script draws every player's medal as a list per team during the draft and under the top bar portraits during the game; it ships enabled and has its own switches under Misc.

The replay harvest and training tools now use the v5 extractor with a download loop that survives dead and trickling connections, merged datasets address their shards by position, the calibration step keeps a map only when it beats the raw output out of sample, and both shipped models were retrained on 18,884 of our own matches.

The hero-motion model now predicts 0.3 to 4.5 seconds ahead and is ahead of the plain constant-velocity lead at every horizon; a switch under Misc returns every script to the plain lead. Scripts gain a per-script cloud store through cloud.*: a private key/value space per user with a quota, and an opt-in dataset channel that sends nothing unless switched on.

rebuilt for dota build 25196390, the 7.41e point update that landed this morning; the previous build crashed on it after loading scripts. also in this build: a presets api for scripts (config.get, set, save, load, list), and the release itself now stops when a saved setting does not survive a reload or a pack's combo key lands nothing.

the last-hit assist was not last-hitting anything

It filtered every candidate through the unit's name, and the compat layer answered that name with the entity's class instead — npc_dota_creep_lane for every lane creep, where the whitelist holds npc_dota_creep_goodguys_melee. So the test was false for every creep in the game: measured in the lab, eight enemy creeps died within reach over 45 seconds with the key held and not one attack order went out. The same gate sat on the incoming-damage tracker and on the ranged-creep priority, so those were dead too. With the name fixed: 32 of 34 last hits and 2 of 3 denies across five waves, melee and ranged.

attack speed was off by 2.5x for every pack that asked

The api returns increased attack speed as a fraction and the compat layer handed it over unchanged, while every caller divides by 100 — so a hero at +115 was read as +1.15. The last-hit timing came out at 1.253 s per attack where the engine said 0.495, and a ranged hero's attack point carried 286 ms of phantom lead. Dodger, Batrider, Chen, Clockwerk and Naga read the same number. The attack point also assumed a base attack speed of 100; it is 110 on some heroes, and it now uses the base the engine reports.

Eight neutrals that exist in the current patch — the ancient frog camp and the split doom golem — were missing from the whitelist and are back.

a finished Dagon was invisible to every pack

A maxed Dagon reports itself as item_dagon_upgraded, a name the item dump does not carry, so the shared item layer never found it: the family lookup missed, and the item chain that fires from the combo key skipped it. Every hero holding a finished Dagon was carrying an item nothing would press. It now resolves, and casts — 598 damage from the combo key in the lab.

the combo stops spending your BKB on nobody

The self-item batch fired on any combo target within 900 with the buff absent, so holding the combo key near one passive enemy spent a 95-second BKB. Every item in that batch is a save, none is an opener. It now needs actual threat — the module's own danger predicate, or two enemy heroes inside the same radius. Measured: full health beside one passive enemy no longer spends it, two heroes in range does, and being hurt with an enemy in attack range does.

Queen of Pain

Sonic Wave refused anything past 700, which is its cast range, not its reach: the wave travels 900 and widens to 450 as it stops. Reach is now derived from the live ability rather than either published number, the aim is clamped onto the cast circle instead of the shot being refused, and the hit test no longer discards the last 450 units. A target at 1000 went from "out of range" to 625 pure damage.

A Lotus Orb also vetoed spells it cannot reflect — the check had two arms that both said "blocked", so the argument distinguishing a targeted spell from an untargeted one did nothing. Scream of Pain and a Scepter's ground-cast Shadow Strike now go out into a live Echo Shell; a genuinely targeted spell is still held, and Blade Mail still blocks either, because it reflects damage rather than the spell.

Her combo over eight seconds against the same target: 1265 damage at the start of this audit, 2022 now.

Queen of Pain: Shadow Strike lands again with a Scepter

Aghanim's Scepter rewrites Shadow Strike from unit-target to point-target — the engine clears the UNIT_TARGET bit — and the combo went on issuing a unit-target order for it. An invalid order is discarded in silence: no cast, no cooldown, no error. Measured in the lab, 24 orders over eight seconds landed nothing, while the ability's cast phase never once became true across 256 samples. Scepter is her second-most-bought item, so this was most of her combo for anyone playing her that way.

It now ground-casts at a lead point when the live ability reports an area — the same marker the pack already read for its detonate branch. Re-tested: two orders, two landings, the slow on the target, damage over the same eight seconds up from 1265 to 1608–1860.

The right-click fallback also cancelled the casts it was meant to follow: a suppressed cast step fell through to an attack order issued 25 ms later, and the guard that should have held it covered 68 ms against a 300 ms cast point. The hold now covers the ability's own cast point and refuses an attack while a cast is still inside it.

the panel shows the spell, not its paperwork

Turning a spell off in the icon grid now takes its own settings off the page — Axe's panel drops from 48 rows to 36 the moment Berserker's Call is excluded, instead of leaving twelve rows describing a spell that is no longer in the combo. Hidden rather than greyed on purpose: grey is this menu's word for "you cannot set this yet", which is a different statement.

The outline numbers are gone from the screen. Indentation carries the hierarchy instead. The labels the config is keyed on are untouched, so nothing you had saved moved, and search still matches both what you see and what is stored.

Also fixed in the same pass: a hero panel was drawing the icon grid AND the parent rows it replaces, because the grid was attached before the pass that hides a group's controls. Auto Pick had the same fault over its 260 rows. And three heroes whose ability switches hang on a sub-panel — Lycan among them — were getting no grid at all.

pick spells by their icon

A hero panel in uTEA now opens with a strip of that hero's spell icons. Click one to include it in the combo — the tile lights up, an excluded one is dimmed. The numbered sub-options under each spell stay where they were, and every switch keeps its existing config key, so nothing you had set is lost. It can be turned off in .uTEA → 6. Ability icon grid, which puts the plain rows back.

Auto Pick and Auto Ban become grids of hero portraits instead of 130 captioned checkboxes each, and the priority slider now appears only for the heroes you actually picked.

The control behind it is ui.icon_grid, a general one any script can use: N cells, each with an icon, a label and either its own value or a link to a control that already exists. It knows nothing about dota — the icon is a path the script hands it. A spell whose art the client has never drawn falls back to the label's initials and stays clickable.

96 of 118 hero panels get a grid. The other 22 caption their switches by behaviour rather than by the spell, and keep plain checkboxes.

Also: 31 hero panels carried no unit name, so the menu could not follow you onto them — Axe, Lion, Rubick, Techies and the rest left the hero dropdown wherever it was and hid the panel belonging to the hero you were playing.

delete a script from the menu

A script the build does not own — one you dropped in yourself, or one an older version left behind — now has a Delete beside it in the scripts panel, two-step like the preset delete because the file does not come back. A script that ships with the build has no button: the next update would fetch it back, and switching it off is what that case wants.

This exists because an old version wrote plain scripts into the install and they shadow the marketplace copy of the same pack — the client keeps running last version's code while the switch in the menu appears to do nothing.

a script you switch off stays off

The payload ships the owner's packs and the marketplace lists the same ones, so an account that owns both had two copies of a pack and two rows to switch it with — and turning one off in the menu changed nothing, because the other copy went on loading. The session now says which file a listing is, and where the install already carries that file the installed copy is the only one that runs and the only one the menu lists. Its switch is the switch. A listing that is not a file anyone installs keeps its own row, as before.

one copy of a pack, not two

The payload ships the owner's packs and the marketplace lists the same packs, so an account that owns them ran each one twice per frame — two sets of handlers, two menu registrations and double the cost, which is what made a 120 ms hold on the combo key unhittable. A bundle whose entry file the install already carries is now skipped in favour of the installed copy: that is the build that shipped with this dll, and every member already resolved to it.

a preset no longer loses the settings of a marketplace pack

The saved preset was applied before the marketplace packs registered their controls, so those controls kept their registration defaults — and the autosave then wrote the defaults back over the saved values. It went unnoticed while the marketplace carried only small packs. The day uTEA arrived through it too, one launch was enough to lose the combo key, the hero the menu was pointed at and every panel switch, which reads as a pack that ignores its own settings.

Both the boot and the reload now register every control, from both sources, before the preset is applied. Boot also honours the preset you were last on instead of always loading default.

invoker: the combo runs, the panels are there, the ML modules sit under their heroes

A combo started from the shared combo key was started on the key going down and aborted on the key not being held, so any press shorter than the whole sequence killed it two orbs in — every press measured in a real session was between 13 and 117 ms. A preset now runs to completion the way the code already said it should; hold-to-run stays with the dynamic plan, which is started the same way it is aborted.

Invoker's spell and combo panels were registered with the three-argument option form, which defaults a checkbox off, so a fresh install showed no HUD at all.

"Invoker ML" and "Pudge ML" appeared as heroes of their own next to Invoker and Pudge: the menu built its hero list from the path of a registry entry and ignored the entry's own menu override. Their switches were always in the right place; only the node was wrong.

And the hero dropdown no longer strands you on someone else's panels. It followed "has the hero changed", with the answer kept in a global that survives a script reload — while the dropdown itself is rebuilt at its default, which is the first hero in the registry. After a reload it pointed at Arc Warden and stayed there, hiding every panel belonging to the hero actually being played.

tree packs from the marketplace, actually loading

The bundle work shipped in the previous build was refused one step earlier than it ran: the blob reader rejected any kind above 5, so every bundled pack came back "unknown kind" and uTEA, Visual Script and Draft Helper still did not load. All three now open, register and run — 349, 18 and 6 files.

Two rules behind it are now explicit. Where an install already carries a file, the installed copy is what runs and a bundle fills in only what is missing. And a path written scripts/... means the script directory rather than the game's working directory — every pack writes its paths that way, and until now that only resolved in a packaged tree, so a pack could find its own files and then miss the shared compat shims sitting beside them.

marketplace packs that are a directory now load

A pack that is a tree used to ship as a zip, which the delivery route tried to compile as lua; the archive went out labelled "lua source" and the client refused it. uTEA, Visual Script and Draft Helper all died that way. A tree now travels as an EVB1 bundle — one record per file, lua members already compiled — that the client opens in memory and requires out of. Nothing is written to disk. require, fs.exists, fs.read, loadfile and dofile all reach a bundled member, so a pack written against a directory needs no changes.

The client also ignored the kind byte and loaded every marketplace body as bytecode. It now loads what the server says it sent, which is what a server without luac has been sending all along.

menu

A text field kept the keyboard after the menu was closed, so typing went on filling the search box of a menu that was not on screen. Closing the menu now drops focus.

The group you were reading is where you come back to; the menu used to reset to the first group of the tab every time it opened.

The active config is remembered across restarts. It lived in memory only, so a client that came back up always loaded default — and then autosaved your edits into a preset you were no longer on.

updates stop re-downloading the whole payload

A sealed file used to get a random nonce and a random blob name on every packaging run, so its bytes changed even when its content had not — and the loader decides what to fetch by sha256. Between the two previous builds, 4 of 780 files matched; everything else came down again, models included.

The nonce is now derived from the file key and the content, and a blob's name is a keyed hash of its logical path. Identical content seals to identical bytes under the same key, so an update moves the dll and the files that actually changed. This build is the switchover and still arrives in full; the ones after it do not.

scripts panel

Every script in an install that carries both loose files and a sealed .pak was loaded twice — two sets of handlers, two menu groups, double the frame cost. The directory pass now claims a name and the pack-index pass skips it, so a script runs once whichever layer it comes from.

The panel splits its rows into local (a file this install carries) and from the marketplace (bytecode the session holds for the account). The two switch through different ledgers, and until now only local files were listed here at all. Rows are sorted and each one keeps its own hover state — two rows with the same name used to share one, so pointing at one lit the other and its checkbox drove both.

the in-game store tab (browse with previews, listing detail, library, config install, wallet purchase with the browser fallback), the ringless mark, the session heartbeat carrying store_rev so a purchase lands in a running game, marketplace scripts reloaded instead of re-registered on refresh, and the worker-thread exit fix
