[FIX] After Several Attempts to Connect, the Server Did Not Respond [FIX]
I've had this problem several times, and it has been frustrating me ever since. It is usually caused by a routing problem either from your Internet Service Provider or from Valve's DOTA2 servers.


How to Fix:

1. Find the IP address of the server you are trying to connect to. You can do this by typing "status" in the console when you are connected to the server. You could also ask a friend/player that is connected to the server to find the IP address of the server for you.

2. Type in the console "connect (insert the IP address of the server here)".

If you often face this issue, I would recommend noting the IP address of the server you are playing in at the start of the game.

I would regularly bump this thread to make it easier for people, who are facing this issue to, find this thread.
