Dota 6.62 Beta - Dota-Allstars 6.62 Beta Map Download (Beta 9)

Dota 6.62 BetaDota 6.62 Beta - Dota-Allstars 6.62 Beta Map Download. Ok, before you're getting excited, let me say a couple things. This map is another public beta and published on PlayDota. Dota 6.62 only has one purpose, to adjust with the new Warcraft 1.24 Patch. There should be no changes between Dota 6.61b and Dota 6.62. If you found something different, try to reproduce it and help IceFrog by reporting it.

Here is what IceFrog said about this map:
This version most likely has many broken abilities and functions right now. A huge amount of code has been at least partially rewritten for this patch. Various untested new functions in 1.24 are being used, anything can go wrong.

The first step is to have everyone here test in either single player or with a couple other people, test everything in the game and report which ones are broken.

There should be zero functional changes between 6.62 and 6.61b. If you aren't sure if something is bugged or not compare it with 6.61b.

The only concern for this version right now is to make sure the map code is functional. Do not use these subforums to report anything unless it is an issue that is unique for 6.62/1.24 or to use it as a suggestion forum. There are many potential issues so we need to keep things organized and focused on the task at hand.

The bugs aren't just limited to abilities. Items, commands, game modes, game behavior, rules, upgrades, timers, etc are all vulnerable to bugs.

After we pass Phase 1 of the testing (testing by yourself or with a group of people on westfall), we will then start to do regular 5v5 games to find what other bugs were missed. You can do these games now if you want as well, but we will formally start them after we have had extensive tests on the rest of the stuff first. There are many bugs that will only be easy to catch in multiplayer though, so you are encouraged to try and play with a few people at least.

Thanks in advance for all the help.

Test 3:
=======
- Fixed magic stick, essence aura, Curse of the Silent, Last word and all spell conditional abilities from not behaving properly. Now they should all follow the same rules as before.
- Fixed a large number of buffs from remaining stuck on you after you die with them on, like God Strength.
- Fixed invulnerable throne issue
- Did some temporary experimental changes to see how it affects the fatals and memory glitches that have been appearing. Keep an eye on these and report them. Report any fatals or permanently stuck visual effects you find.

You must play the above map with Warcraft 1.24 Patch. To get the new patch check this post.

Well, i think Blizzard is waiting until Dota 6.62 can be played without a bug in the new patch before release it. Here is another things that IceFrog said about reporting bug.

Before you report a bug, try to reproduce it. You should also compare it with 6.61b to make sure it is an issue that is unique to 6.62/1.24.
If you want to report Items and Ability bug, go to this thread, other bug aside than that, go to this thread. Let's help IceFrog by reporting bugs shall we? ;)
