Dota 2 Update - 3/31/2026: patch history

Dota 2 Update - 3/31/2026

Over the past few days we've addressed the following issues:

• Fixed Meepo being able to duplicate Dusts of Appearance by buying a Dust of Appearance on their courier, dropping that dust on the ground, picking that dust up by Meepo, right clicking on the single Dust of Apperance and sending it to the stash, repeating that process 6 times to fill the stash with Dusts of Appearance, buying multiple Dusts of Appearance on the courier, dropping that stack on the ground, picking it up, and then using Dust of Appearance on a Meepo clone.

• Fixed Spirit Breaker's Greater Bash not being purgable when Spirit Breaker has Aghanim's Scepter

• Fixed Spirit Breaker's Aghanim's Scepter repeatedly bashing units more than intended.

• Fixed Tiny's Tree Volley doing more damage than intended when thrown trees are hitting multiple units.

• Fixed Nyx Assassin's Mind Flare not always triggering Phylactery/Khanda on a target if the initial target had a Linken's Sphere

7.41 Gameplay Patch

Patch 7.41 is out now and you can check out the patch notes here.

• Added an overhead indicator when a consumable item is being used on an ally or given to one within 1200 units (e.g., Tango)

• Item recipe components are now consistently ordered from most expensive to least expensive to make Quick Buy more predictable (exceptions include boots, Blink Dagger, and a few others)

• Trying to craft a Neutral Item while your inventory is full and your Neutral Item Slot is occupied with an innate item (e.g. Witch Doctor's Gris Gris) will now fail instead of automatically consuming the item

• Deprecated support for GPUs that do not support DirectX 11/SM5. Upcoming graphics features and performance improvements require DX11/SM5, and a future update will remove support for older devices. (99.96% of active players have DX11/SM5-capable devices.)
