Valve has unexpectedly released another major patch for Dota 2

Valve has responded to player feedback and released a major update for the Dota 2 client, addressing a significant number of bugs and issues from Patch 7.35.

This information comes from the official developer blog on Steam.

One of the key fixes was closing the server-crashing exploit that caused the reset of post-match statistics, which some unscrupulous players exploited. It's possible that a wave of punishments for abusing bugs may follow soon.
