Confirming match: global Dota 2 outage

All around the world, players are experiencing issues with finding and entering Dota 2 matches. Some players have been unable to access the game for several hours.

Players on Reddit have expressed their dissatisfaction with a new problem related to accessing Dota 2.

The issue lies in the fact that when starting the match search, the server stops responding, and the process gets stuck at the match confirmation stage. Even after restarting the game, the problem remains unresolved. This issue is particularly noticeable among players from South and North America, where most of the complaints originate.

Resolving the Issue

Regarding a solution, discussions on forums suggest that players are unlikely to influence the server's operation. It is possible that the servers are overloaded, especially during tournaments and mass events. Some players recommend spending at least 5-6 minutes in the matchmaking queue, as this may help the system more accurately match a game. However, there are cases where even after an hour of waiting, the server remains unresponsive.
