On May 5, Valve released a patch for Dota 2, which updated localization files for 22 languages and made changes to the UI.
Localization changes:
- Fixed the description for Io and the text ability for Keeper of the Light;
UI changes:
- Reduced the size of the glow in the menu when there are new notifications.
- Minimap icons for some objects were changed to generic blobs. (Towers on minimap are blobs, wards are blobs. They now look the same as allied couriers or techies mines. You now can't tell a sentry ward from observer ward).
- Some units/buildings lost their "selection circle". Creeps don't have a circle (when you hover mouse), making it subjectively harder to last hit. Towers don't have an "attack" circle (when you hover holding Alt), making it harder to avoid being attacked or place vision.
- Changed the popup interval for some Dota Plus challenges.
- The Dota 2 game client on Windows now uses DirectX 11 by default, it used to be DirectX 9 before.
