Multiplayer lobby drops after five minutes

Multiplayer lobby drops every time at around the five minute mark, both as host and as client. Single player is stable. Multiplayer lobby drops every time at around the five minute mark, both as host and as client. Single player is stable.

Which specs do I need for the test build?

Wondering whether a 1660 is enough for the test build, or whether that is wasted effort. Wondering whether a 1660 is enough for the test build, or whether that is wasted effort.

Earn your seat in the next test

Dota 2 is out, and that is what makes it worth covering: you can play it tonight, and what you write goes on your tester profile.

  • It counts. Reports build the profile we read when a studio asks us for testers. An empty profile is why most applications go nowhere.
  • First in line. Cover Dota 2 and you hear about its next playtest before it shows up on this page.
  • Two minutes is enough. One bug, one performance note, one honest paragraph. That is the kind of thing a developer can act on.

No test announced yet One mail the moment a test opens. No other mail.
