DotaCR has been updated, and now supports dedicated servers, so you can create a lobby and play without needing to set up a server or portforward!

If you already have DotaCR, it will prompt you to update.

If you don't ready have DotaCR, download it here: http://dota2cr.com/client.zip

Note that your Antivirus may tell you one of the dll files is suspicious - You can safely ignore this, if you don't believe me then upload it to VirusTotal.

For those interested in hosting dedicated servers, the dedicated server manager is here: http://dota2cr.com/server.zip
Please note dedicated servers do require port forwarding and so on, so make sure to test by running a non-dedicated server first!

Happy Dota-ing!
