Dota 2 Update from August 16, 2026: Bugs with Lina and Nyx Assassin have been fixed
On the night of August 16, the Dota 2 developers released a minor update, fixing issues with Lina’s talent and Nyx Assassin’s ability, as well as the river textures, and updating system files and the interface for The International 2026.
List of Changes
- Fixed a bug where purchasing Daedalus or other critical strike items, except for Revenant’s Brooch, would prevent Lina’s talent from functioning at 150% critical strike chance against targets affected by her passive ability.
- Fixed a bug with Nyx Assassin’s spell range-increasing items that prevented the width of the Impale ability from scaling correctly until the ability was re-learned.
- Fixed the visual effects and animation of the river’s water flow.
- Added interface elements for predictions and rankings for The International 2026.
- Updated the settings and styles of the spectator control panel.
- Updated the client and server components of the game for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
- Updated the Steam Workshop tools and resources.
The update size was 82.5 MB.
Previously, the developers updated the file responsible for the design of the fantasy league page in The International 2026 compendium in Dota 2. Prior to that, Valve had unlocked a feature for the championship’s final stage.
