Report a translation problem
it still says it's associated with another dota 2 account in game
They say it right here: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=5434-QEYO-9636&l=#removeprime
You log in to dota with that account and remove it, that's the only way.
It is the only way because if you have control of the number then you should always be able to log into any accounts tied to it and remove it. Is that clear?
They made it like this because you always can control any account tied to your numbers and always restore it.
Or did you understand this but it doesn't work for some reason?
Can you answer me this:
If you go here in your browser: https://help.steampowered.com/en/wizard/HelpWithSteamGuardCode (don't be logged in
Click "Verify and update my email address"
and enter your phone number into the textfield that says "Enter your account name, previous email address or phone number"
If you do this can you not see or interact with your old account, change email and finally get back in to the account?
If not then please tell us what happens when you try this so we can help you.
This is not the case, accounts can share phone numbers.
The only possible problem I can think of is if the number stayed associated with a dota account somehow even after removing the number from the Steam but that seems unlikely, if you actually removed the number from the steam account and you can't find your other account doing this then tell us.
"The only possible problem I can think of is if the number stayed associated with a dota account somehow even after removing the number from the Steam but that seems unlikely, if you actually removed the number from the steam account and you can't find your other account doing this then tell us."
Let me explain in detail.
I created random account witch i dont know name, lets call it 'randomAccount' and i tied my phone number to it, and associated dota with it as well.
after few month i lost that account, and created new steam account named 'hikola60' and tied that new account to same phone number.
after i playd and reach high enough lvl to play ranked, dota2 asked me to type in my phone number so it can be associated with it , even tho i already associated that same phone number to my new steam account named 'hikola60',
so i typed in the number, and dota 2 trowed me a message that "Your Steam-associated phone number is already in use on another Dota account and cannot be used on this account unless it is removed from that account..." ,
afterward i tried doing all the methods you have suggested, and when i tried to recover my account using that same phone number, it trowed me back to my new account named 'hikola60' (since i already associated new account as well with the same phone number), therefor i am not able in any way to retrieve ANY information about my old 'randomAccount' that has dota2 tied to my phone number.
i hope this makes it clear.
And again, two accounts can share numbers. (on steam, not on dota)
Maybe share a screenshot of what happens when you enter your number on that link? (without personal info)
and yes it showed up only one account when i entered my number.
and now it shows none.
here is screenshot,
how can i share a screen shot?
