v1.4.74-Languages, Focused Reviews and Reliable Live Drafts

Latest
  • New Feature

    Choose your language across the dashboard, settings, quick capture, Picker, lane guidance and personal match summaries while keeping saved inputs.

  • Improvement

    A redesigned dashboard, compact match history and focused review tools keep controls within reach. Picker explanations appear on hover, and MMR tracking is simpler.

  • Improvement

    Habit narration stays available through matches and queues. Listen follows the selected notebook view across every page; priorities, personal categories and new teamwork, farming, camera, teleport and survival reminders help focus practice.

  • Bug Fix

    Spell tracking recovers Watch state more reliably, handles levels and talents, and clears stale evidence. Hero artwork and ability data are refreshed.

  • Bug Fix

    Custom draft ban detection respects resized saved grids while retaining the window capture policy tested for smooth gameplay.

  • Improvement

    Configure F4–F7 reminders in Settings. Saved analytics remain visible while background refreshes run independently.

v1.4.73-Reliable Picker, Focused Habits and Dota Hero Library

  • Improvement

    Picker recovers missed draft updates and failed window loads, keeps controls responsive while builds load, and restores reliable native clicks and role selection.

  • Improvement

    Item builds use a compact six-slot strip with clearer purchase order, ward choices, neutral enchantments, and other pro options. Lane-danger advice is integrated into Picker controls.

  • Improvement

    Habits prioritize selected reminders, cap review sessions, support optional looping and narration-popup editing, and keep narration playing through queue and post-game transitions.

  • Improvement

    Spells now uses a Dota hero gallery and dedicated ability pages.

  • Improvement

    Tray Dashboard state follows the actual window, restores in one click, and Map can open as a desktop preview when Dota is closed.

  • Improvement

    Referral reconnect recovery and Pro conversion measurement are more reliable.

v1.4.72-Personal Picks, Setting Timers and Compact Controls

  • New Feature

    Own-pick recommendations can use linked match results. Picker clears stale hero builds before a new draft and favors pro-game builds with recorded starting items.

  • New Feature

    Dota setting timers support match-end restoration and manual team-chat actions.

  • Improvement

    Timer controls and habit cards use a more compact layout with clearer playback and drag priorities. Match-clock controls stay together in a responsive toolbar.

  • New Feature

    Configure habit autoplay between games, with updated reminders for ward vision, proactive teleports, last-second healing, and planning BKB activation.

  • Bug Fix

    Includes the signed automatic-update and shortcut repairs from 1.4.71. Existing settings are retained when upgrading.

v1.4.71-Automatic Updates Resume After Dota

  • Bug Fix

    Protection errors now stop a release build, and packaged file hashes are verified before publishing. This prevents stale integrity data from closing an updated app at startup.

  • Bug Fix

    Downloaded updates now resume automatically after Dota closes. Starting DotaSense with Windows gives updates a short startup grace period instead of deferring them indefinitely.

  • Improvement

    Automatic updates use silent setup, preserve your settings, and can finish when you quit outside Dota so the next launch uses the updated version.

  • Bug Fix

    Windows update policy follows the verified public release while retaining staged rollout controls.

  • Improvement

    If an older version already deferred an update, close Dota and choose Install downloaded update or Retry update in the tray once. Manually copied apps, missing updater configuration, or the withdrawn 1.4.70 build need one installation of the latest signed release; keep your saved user profile.

v1.4.69-Reliable Dashboard Controls and Updated Picker Guidance

  • Bug Fix

    Fixed a startup race that could leave the dashboard close button hiding a different window.

  • New Feature

    Added dashboard zoom controls and improved navigation at larger app sizes and in shorter windows.

  • Improvement

    Improved Picker lane-survival scoring, allied draft coverage, role handling, and duplicate or empty-card detection. Edit your hero pool directly in the floating Picker.

  • Improvement

    Match reviews show recorded item purchases in their actual order, including small items and repeated consumables. Steam history, saved-match navigation, replay details, and private Analytics recovery are more reliable.

  • Improvement

    Refined habit organization, priorities, startup reading controls, and reminders. Post-game reflections open through a review action.

  • Improvement

    Kept the main pages focused on controls and moved walkthroughs into Help.

v1.4.62-Compact Habits, Flexible Playback, and Richer Game Reviews

  • New Feature

    Browse ten compact habit cards per page, choose your card size, and open notebook tools when you need them.

  • Improvement

    Post-game reviews open on request with match context, focused ratings, saved notes, and a next-game focus.

  • New Feature

    Listen to complete habit reminders with pause and resume, full reading text, playback plans, and independent event and habit audio controls.

  • Improvement

    Account-aware game history includes richer replay statistics, lane matchups, healing, objectives, inventory events, and recorded MMR progress.

  • Bug Fix

    Improved local Steam history recovery, automatic MMR tracking, retained draft guesses, and lane-aware picker recommendations.

v1.4.60-Fewer Minimap Updates and Less Background Traffic

  • Improvement

    The minimap redraws when its ward markers or plan change, while keeping the latest clock for manual placement.

  • Improvement

    Live timer and combat updates go to the app windows that use them, reducing background message traffic.

  • Bug Fix

    Delayed initial ward data and earlier side-selection replies no longer replace newer live updates.

  • Bug Fix

    Ward timing remains exact across fractional-minute starts and expirations, clock jumps, and rewinds.

v1.4.59-Less Background Work During Matches

  • Improvement

    Reduced dashboard redraws, hidden picker updates, and repeated live-state processing during matches.

  • Bug Fix

    Enemy spell cooldowns and buybacks follow the game clock and remain frozen during game pauses.

  • Bug Fix

    Fresh reminders take priority over older startup reads, and timer listeners clean up when a window reloads.

  • Improvement

    Player, account, team, and spectator changes remain immediate while frequent combat updates use less background work.

v1.4.58-Habit Reminders, Replay Analysis, and Steam Referrals

  • New Feature

    Track laning, map-play, and teamfight habits, assess completed games, and save notes and a next-game focus. Habit history stays on your device.

  • New Feature

    Read along with spoken habits, create personal reading plans, and schedule reminders with independent audio and text controls.

  • New Feature

    Invite Steam friends from the app and track eligible Premium referral rewards.

  • New Feature

    Replay Coach adds comparisons between games, win-probability charts, clearer hero portraits, and narrated video reviews.

  • Bug Fix

    Draft detection handles custom and scrolled hero grids, recovers missing picks across HUD layouts, and clears stale builds when a new match starts.

  • Bug Fix

    The idle timer logo stays hidden until Dota 2 runs. Manual timers and layout previews remain available.

  • Improvement

    Improved counterpick recommendations, team-role assistance, match-history discovery, and replay coaching explanations.

v1.4.54-Discover Everything Included in Pro

  • New Feature

    Find Pro directly from the desktop app header and timer screen, with subscription offers that reflect your free, trial, or subscribed status.

  • Improvement

    Account settings explain all eight Pro benefits, monthly and annual pricing, annual savings, and trial terms.

  • Improvement

    The website highlights Pro on the homepage and compares every benefit with the free toolkit on the pricing page.

v1.4.53-Smoother Picker and Richer Replay Reviews

  • Bug Fix

    Improved mouse responsiveness and window focus when opening DotaSense alongside Dota 2, with refreshed hero picker controls and build navigation.

  • Bug Fix

    The picker retains your selected role during live draft updates, with additional draft-detection and spell-tracker corrections.

  • New Feature

    Added Roshan pit reminders using the bundled Roshan sound, plus updated rune ward and neutral item reminder sounds.

  • Improvement

    MMR goals show weekly games tracked and remaining. Replay Coach adds net worth charts, tower timelines, and measured context around deaths.

v1.4.52-Resizable Map Overlay

  • Bug Fix

    The map overlay now has a resize grip in Adjust mode so its size can be fitted to the Dota minimap on 4K displays.

  • Improvement

    Map labels and ward markers grow with the map. A manually saved size stays in place after restarting DotaSense.

v1.4.51-Replay Coach and MMR Goal

  • New Feature

    Added Replay Coach and an MMR goal view, with updated ward research data and desktop layouts.

  • Improvement

    Voice Relay can use a compatible virtual audio device already installed on the PC, including VB-CABLE. The installer does not include a virtual audio driver.

v1.4.50-Readable Timer and Picker Overlays

  • Bug Fix

    Dragging the timer or draft picker layout corner now scales its text, icons, and controls along with the window.

  • Improvement

    The selected overlay size stays in place after restarting DotaSense, including on high-DPI displays.

v1.4.49-Automatic Update Repair

  • Bug Fix

    Restored the updater configuration in the signed Windows installer. Release checks now verify that the installed app receives it.

  • Bug Fix

    Temporary update failures now retry automatically. Windows or security software access blocks still offer the download page.

  • Improvement

    Older installations missing updater configuration need one repair install of 1.4.49. Later updates can run inside the app.

    This installer has no bundled voice relay driver, matching the three most recent public releases.

  • Improvement

    Published a signed installer. If antivirus blocks an older updater, install 1.4.47 once from the download page to restore future automatic updates.

  • Breaking Change

    Gameplay input automation and spectator GSI paths are disabled; voice relay, picker auto typing, and automatic team chat remain temporarily unavailable while companion-safe replacements are reviewed.

v1.4.23-Draft Picker Flex Recommendation Reliability

  • Bug Fix

    Improved draft picker recommendations when visual scan noise marks every exact flex hero unavailable.

  • Improvement

    Kept exact carry-to-mid flex picks available before falling back to plain role suggestions.

  • Improvement

    Published the verified Windows desktop release while macOS and Linux downloads remain gated until matching artifacts are ready.

v1.4.22-Out-of-Box Windows Voice Relay

  • New Feature

    Published a Windows production test build with the approved DotaSense Voice Relay fallback bundle included in the installer.

  • Improvement

  • Improvement

v1.4.21-Optional Voice Relay Mic Button

  • New Feature

    Added an optional voice relay setting that can press the selected Dota mic button while DotaSense plays enabled timer and event callouts.
