Troubleshooting

“Your Dota 2 is out of date” on launch
The client build and the server disagree. Re-download — the archive is pinned to the build this server runs.
Stuck on “connecting to the Dota 2 game coordinator”
Either your account is not verified (step 1 above), or the server is restarting. Try again in a minute; if it persists, ask on Discord.
I signed in but the queue rejects me
Verification is per Steam account. Make sure Steam is logged into the same account you used here, not a second one.
