The Dota Patcher is currently still in development, so there's still some known issues that need to be fixed. Here is the list of current issues at the time i write this post:

Issue: Banlist will not open properly.
Reason: This is because the launcher does not have the ability to stagger program execution, when banlist starts war3 is not fully loaded so banlist complains.
Solution: Implement a delay between program execution
Status: Pending Implementation

Issue: All of the news dates, at least on my system, are listed as December 13, 2003
Reason: News currently is not automatically generated from the dota allstars announcements
Solutions: Ensure news is synced, either through automatic syndication or some other means
Status: Pending Implementation

Issue: A user should be able to have multiple "play profiles" easily selectable
Reason: People may need to change between two or three profiles depending on their current play situation
Solution: Create a way for users to create, manage, and select multiple run profiles
Status: Pending Implementation
