Unable to establish a connection to a gameserver.

[Luke Hordaland]

Hi! Since today (23.09) I can't run DOTA 2 at all. I do not play much online, 99% of the time just 30 min with bots. And this will simply do not work - I get the message "Disconnected from server // Unable to establish a connection to a gameserver."
I have pings lower than 11ms and fiber.
I had no issues yesterday nor months before.
Any hints?

I am having the same problem, since the 23.09 I can't run Dota. I get the same error message and I'm also using a Macbook.
Tried everything possible but nothing is working

What server?
Did you tried to connect to another server?

I tried every server. Always the same problem.

Open up Windows CMD and use a "ipconfig /flushdns" command

Already flushed the dns, still not working.

Find the IP adress of the Dota 2 server you're trying to connect and ping it (idk how to do it in Mac)

This is because of chinese players playing outside of their region..
