Today the Dota 2 team is introducing <a href="http://www.dota2.com/leaderboards">public leaderboards</a>. These leaderboards show the players with the highest solo MMR in four geographic divisions:

• Americas
  
• Europe and Africa
  
• China
  
• Southeast Asia

Here is an FAQ with some details. (We may need to change the requirements in the future. The latest information will always be on the Leaderboards website.)

<strong>Q. Who is eligible to appear on the leaderboard?</strong>
To qualify, a player must have all of the following:

• At least 300 lifetime matchmade games played. (Unranked or ranked PvP matches only.)
  
• At least 100 lifetime solo ranked games
  
• At least 15 solo ranked games in the last 21 days in the same division
  
• Official player info on file

<strong>Q. How do I know what division I'm in?</strong>
It's the division in which you have played the most solo ranked games in the past 21 days. (In case of a tie, we use the division that has the more recent match.)

<strong>Q. Does a match still qualify towards the recency requirement if somebody abandons, times out due to network problems, etc?</strong>
Yes, provided that MMRs are updated. If the match is thrown out for any reason, then it is not a qualifying match.

<strong>Q. How do I give you my official player info?</strong>
If your solo MMR puts you within reach of a leaderboard, and you meet the eligibility requirements but have not provided your official information, we'll send you a notification in game that will make it possible to provide this information.

<strong>Q. Which server regions are assigned to which divisions?</strong>

• Americas: US West, US East, South America
  
• Europe: Europe West, Europe East, Russia, South Africa
  
• China: Perfect World Telecom, Perfect World Unicom
  
• Southeast Asia: South Korea, SE Asia, Australia

<strong>Q. When are leaderboards updated?</strong>
Daily at 22:00 GMT.

<strong>Q. Where's the global leaderboard?</strong>
The MMR of each division is on a different scale, and comparing MMRs across divisions is not currently meaningful.

<strong>Q. I’m on the leaderboard and I want to change my official information. Is it too late?</strong>
We’ve unlocked everyone’s official information, giving all players one more chance to make edits. Once you enter the information again, it will be locked for a period of time and you will not be able to change it! Please note that there may be a delay of up to one day between the time you change your information and the time the new information shows up on the leaderboard.

Hey Survivors!
A couple breakthroughs today with Hotfix 13a, a brand new patch for The Dead Linger! If your game does not update automatically, we recommend verifying your game cache or restarting your Steam client.

<strong>Patch Notes for Hotfix 13a - "Blue Sky and Duplication Fixes"</strong>

- New sky system added, simple but better! Some features may be missing from old sky, but performance has improved.
- The moon is gone for a short while with the new sky.
- Blue sky/black screen issue likely fixed with the addition of the new sky system.
- Graphics settings are persistent between sessions now.
- Fixed a ton of instances where duplicate objects may spawn in the world.
- Fixed a duplication issue where rocks were spawning twice in rocky lands.
- Small performance increase due to less (or no) duplicate objects spawning.
- Cylinder-shaped hay bales should no longer be flying in the air, which was caused by the duplication glitch.
- Hunting bow position in first person hands is fixed.
- Crossbow string showing up when zoomed in on the crossbow has been fixed.
- J-mac position in first person hands is fixed.
- Survivors can now see their weapons properly in multiplayer.
- Punch and kick ranges have been fixed.
- “Gameplay” settings menu has been added!
-Disable Pickup Messages - This turns off the messages that display every time you pick up an object.
-Disable Status Messages - This turns off the messages that display when you get hungry, or your weapon decreases in durability.
- Console commands “options” and “settings” now bring up the settings menu.
- The timerate console command is now in minutes, with 1 minute being the lowest value. For example: “timerate 1 1" is 1 minute day, 1 minute night.
- Resolution dropdown menu now shows the current resolution by default.
- Door creak sound effect is now linked to the ‘Sound Effects’ slider.
- Backpack opening sound effect is now linked to ‘Sound Effects’ slider.
- Massive holes in the terrain should no longer be present.
- Fixed issue where you sometimes may end up tilted when sitting on a bicycle.
- Fixed issue where houses were disappearing in certain circumstances.
- Fixed a substantial shader error causing very low framerates in some circumstances.
- Fixed an issue where the 'Refresh World' screen might be upside down.
- Fixed a few visual issues with the status bar icons in the inventory as well as backpack visual elements.
- Fall damage values have been doubled. You now take twice as much damage from fall.
- If a survivor is on a water tower ladder and quits the game, joining a new world does not carry over their previous climbing state.
- Horde aggro has been reduced from 85% to 70%, so they are more alert!
