Having problems with watching games

[Hakanix]

Hello I am having this issue with watching games for a long time now. I can't watch any live games. I could watch games with dota plus if I click watch in time but if I press normally watch game I just sat through aprox. 2 mins of loading screen and back to the main menu. I have tried redownloading the game or verifying local game files but nothing helped. I am having no problem playing the game but cant spectate any games that I didn't download. I saw someone else having this problem at reddit also.
This is the console when I press watch games hope this helps
