Dota 2 Server Information and Discussion

[okaybrah]

Can't believe you guys closed out the HK servers without adding a viable alternative for those of us in Korea and Japan. Either fix the China servers or bring back HK guys.

Since latest small patch I can't spectate live games. I get this message when trying to enter any game:

WARNING
Disconnected from Server.
Connection to the server exceeded the number of retries.
Server is probably not available.

I can play MM without issues but can't spectate games.

without HK server, China server is overloaded, I have good ping to China server, but it's more lag than those server with 400ms ping...

China server has been very laggy since monday 11/26 (when the Hongkong Server became unslectable)

Every time i am in game, the lag causes the game to almost be unplayable.
I only have 33ms ping on china server, but my char still skips across the screen other players in game on both teams say the same thing. They have low ping, but still experience lag.
-Reconecting doesnt work.
-Playing with lower graphic settings doesnt work.

I've only played on china server for the past month. I used to be able to play on SEA and US west, but because (i took an arrow to the knee JK ) of an update to the game, i disconect if i play from any server but china and am unable to reconect.
Now china server is very lagy..... i love this game... but... I know Gabe Newell said that Windows8 would make me want to "rage quit computing" But its more like Dota2 servers are going to make me rage quit gaming again just kidding... but seriously. Something needs fixed.

Hello,

I just wanted to report that I have pretty annoying lags on Europe West. Before when it was only one server for Europe I had no issues at all. Europe East is about 4 times as far away as Europe West from my location and the ping is about 1/4th. Makes no sense in my opinion and I was wondering if other people are experiencing the same phenomenon.

If anyone wants to ask for numbers:

Ping for Europe West: 130-170
Ping for Europe East: 35-45


Kind regards,

Alex

Coming from north-west Germany and have the same problem. EU west is rly shitty to play on atm with 140 ping for me, while east seems to be normal.

Are there any plans for an Israeli or middle eastern server?

We are currently experiencing an outage in our SE Asia server region. We are working on restoring service.

[Zoid]

And SE Asia is back online. Looks like there was a temporary Internet outage that was blocking access. Enjoy the game!

We just had an interruption in the Steam service. Due to the nature of this interruption, some matches currently in progress may not be recorded correctly. We are taking steps so prevent this issue from happening in the future.

Zoid can you please advice on this issue we have with UPC? There are multiple threads with people complaining about disconnects every 15 minutes.

Hello,
I'm from Romania also and I got internet provided by the "UPC" company as well as my friend and we both get the disconnected / lobby error 24/7. Its going on for like 3 days and counting.

Note* the Internet is GG for other stuff and games.. just the Dota 2 problems.

Is this fixed?

I'm playin from Turkey and have problems with EU east ..

Eu west: 100-110 ms which is pretty much normal for me (sometimes I see 200 ping in this for 3 days)
Eu east: 200-300 ms which means at least 1 second delay for me .. it is very much unplayable ....

and I had no problem before EU split up....

[DeCeNtBoY]

I live in Pakistan South Asia & I don't know why I face ping issues on SEA servers I get 180 - 250 ping which is okay for me but sometimes i get 400 ping.
When I get 400 ping on SEA servers at the same time I get 180 - 250 ping on European servers. Please fix the issue, I have to waste a lot of time in just testing servers by creating lobby to check which one is working fine for me right now which wastes a lot of my time.

[niel999]

Need some servers in South Asia. Or some kind of response or acknowledgment that you are working on them.
An ETA would be nice. I knew almost 20 people who were active Dota 2 players in India but they switched back to dota 1 on that shitty Garena due to high ping problems.
Without any response i might as well switch back to dota1.

[ South America Server ]

Hi guys, I want to know how can I discover the IP of the SA server. I usually play with 150~180ms latency, thats OK but I already have played with 40~60ms and now I want to figure out whats the problem.

I have a 10mb internet connection, and I can play in the US-E with 170~200ms, almost the same as the SA server.

EDIT: Sorry for double posting, but here is the link with A LOT MORE info ( http://dev.dota2.com/showthread.php?...l=1#post407501 ) and Zoid, plz give it a look ^^
