Dota 2
[Troubleshoot] Can't Self-Cast with Alt since latest update
I did change a few settings, but I did not change the ones that seem most obvious to me.

I have the following on:
In hotkeys:
"Double tap ability to self cast"
"Smart Double Tap"

In Options:
"Double Tap Ability to Self Cast"
"Smart Double Tap"


I don't believe I changed them, and yet self-casting no longer works.

Any ideas?

I've tried restarting, unchecking and rechecking the options, and played multiple games with self-casting not working.

Alright, I've uninstalled dota, deleted any extra files, and reinstalled. Alt self-casting still doesn't work. In fact, double tapping self casting isn't working. It was working fine about a week ago, and now it doesn't.

Has anyone else been having this problem? I'm highly interested in hearing who else is having this issue?

oh man i thought it was only me, before the last update i can use Alacrity to selfcast using alt+D or alt+F, but now i ahve to disable the quickcast to do that is that normal?

I'll test disabling quick cast and see how that affects things.
SquarelyCircle Jun 26, 2016 @ 1:13pm 
Yup. That's it.

Sooooooooo..... Anyone have any idea if valve is going to fix this? It's clearly a bug. Of course you should be able to quick-cast on self. I ONLY use quick cast, so I don't even have normal cast keys bound.

Hmm... I rebound my keys to all normal cast, and then rebound them again to quick cast, and it seems to be functioning normally for bloodseeker's Q and for TP scrolls.

Despite working, I had to do this again the next time I started the game.
Already reported the bug on devdota forum.
Waiting for any response.

Hey, this bug was like 5 years ago. If you've got the same bug, it is likely a new one, and a new post should probably be created.
I haven't played dota 2 in several years. They've just constantly changed so much that I can't keep up with it. I don't want to have to learn a new game every few months. Consequently, I don't remember at all whether I got it working or not.
Sorry.
