How to install and use DotA Client
08 Dec 2007 Quan Quach 156 comments 17,135 views
The most recent version of DotA Client has been released as of 2/18/2008.
Download the file here
The most recent program that promises to reduce delay and latency is DotA Client. DotA Client claims to reduce latency even further than ListChecker and GGC. I have played a few games using the default setting (90ms), but my friends tell me that its just about the same as LC (100ms). I will play some games as a host using dota client to see how it works out, and I’ll post my results here.
Installation is a breeze. In addition to all this, DotA Client also does a bunch of other neat things like stat tracking and anti-hacking.
- Install dota client
- Run dota client
- Sign on to battle.net
- Follow the on screen instructions!
—————————————————————————————–
All the information below applies to the 1.72 beta version. The latest version has an even easier installation interface.
-
After you download it, install the program. It is not required that you restart after installation (at least I didn’t have to). Also, you DO NOT need winpcap for this program to work, which is nice because winpcap seems to cause some trouble for ListChecker users.
-
Open up the program, and you should see the following:

In addition, you should see this at the lower right hand of your screen

-
Next, open up Warcraft III, and sign onto Battle.net
Once you do this, you should see the following in your DotA Client service Log.

-
Now, since most of you probably don’t play DXD league, you should probably change the server setting to “DotA Gaming Network Prime”

If you don’t, you would have to use the !setmatch command before you start the game or you will run into this error shown in the image below. But like I mentioned, this is more geared towards dxd league games, so I would just switch the server.

-
And that’s it. Now you can create games like you normally would on battle.net with much reduced latency. This is much easier than installing listchecker. The recommended latency is 90ms for this program, which is the default. You can change the latency via the “Game Hosting Latency” option as shown in the image below:

-
The extreme setting isn’t really recommended and can be unstable, but I used it a couple times and it seems to work okay for me. Then again, I have a fiber optic connection so that probably makes it a little more stable.

[...] If you’re looking for an alternative to Listchecker, try DotA Client! [...]
Thank you I’ll try then I’ll post my opinion !
This works for me, unlike LC, thx buddeh!
I have been informed that DotA Client can be pretty buggy at times. Causes some problems here and there, but works for me for the most part.
I think in general LC is more stable. Can anyone else lend their thoughts?
p.s this works on pvpgn servers
would anyone happen to know if i use the same ports as wc3 when forwarding this program? my friends router doesnt let him host with this on and im gonna foward it for him, thx.
otaconx
I have my ports 6112 forwarded for warcraft, and I didn’t have to do anything extra when DotA Client was installed. I just hosted and it worked fine.
how do you work this program on pvpgn server. It works normally on uswest, but not on pvpgn server. “unable to log in”
does DOTA client have a command to check ping whenever im hosting games?
cause i would like one that is like WC3BL but that shows the ping INSIDE warcraft without having to wait for the list to scroll from right to left. . .
On pvpgn server this is what you do:
open dota client
(ignore the messages that it gives you)
open warcraft and log into server
alt tab and right click dota client (should be where msn is and stuff)
Change hosting latency and a box should pop up saying Hosting Latency Changed.
The lag will keep saying connection failed to Dgn but dont worry about that.
p.s Quan
Yeah didnt have to do much, just needed to change some settings nothing to do with ports. thx
sorry for double post
‘The lag will keep saying connection failed to Dgn but dont worry about that.’
not the lag, the message LOG. lol srry about that
Got problem with pvpgn server
9:58:24 AM : Talking with the DotA Gaming Network initialization server…
9:58:27 AM : Loading subscription information…
9:58:28 AM : DGN/DSS connection error: unknown.
9:58:36 AM : DotA Gaming Network server connection timeout. Trying again…
and it keep going down same thing
how to i fix it?
you ignore it
Haven’t run into that error, but otaconx seems to have the solution. Ignore it.
I have installed lc succesfully and it runs fine untill i atempt to create a game on bnet. A popup containg the following shows up:
Connecting to uswest.battle.net on port 6112
Connected
Sending auth info
Received Ping request
Sent Ping reply
Received auth reply
Calculating checksum
checkRevision() failed
Is there any way to fix this problem so that i can use lc in my games? What is failing?
how do u ping the other players?
10equals2:
This is the dota client page. I would suggets reconfiguring the .ini file.
e[z]:
I used banlist to ping when I use dota client.
In general, I use listchecker because it seems more stable.
I dont have a “game hosting latency” tab, and it never registers my LC games on the DXD servers, what gives?
i use a apple mac, can i use this? (on OS X i cant run parralels).
mine keeps saying
1:37:25 PM : Talking with the DotA Gaming Network initialization server…
1:37:33 PM : Initilization server timeout. Trying again…
over and over again
mine keeps saying
9:31:24 AM : DGN/DSS connection error: unknown.
9:31:32 AM : DotA Gaming Network server connection timeout. Trying again…
over and over again
If the host uses dota client does all the players in the game get better latency or is it only the ones who are using dota client?
Darp:
Yes, if the game is hosted using dota client, all the players in the game will have better latency.
Everyone else:
Sorry, I do not know how to fix those problems.
Well i was hosting a game with dota client and i get this error right when i host.
Run time error ‘5′:
invalid procedure call or arguement
yea me too… i got that run time error thing too…
hey guys,
if u play pvpgn servers and you get the:
DGN/DSS connection error: unknown.
DotA Gaming Network server connection timeout.
Don’t worry about, it still works fine, just change the ping to 90 or whatever.
It happened to me, but still works. I know this because I went on to the Lordaeron server and it worked, and no errors came up. I think it says this error because pvpgn servers aren’t the originals.
Hope this helps!
dwrghtip…
dwrghtip…
ping wuz already 90
I’m so happy that i can play with 55ms, although my friends doesn’t seem to see a difference with 55ms and 90ms, they said before without Dota Client, they had an average delay of 0.2seconds. (doesn’t sound like much but if you play pudge or have a hero with long animations, it might be annoying). After i use dota client they don’t seem to have any delay at all, almost as if they were hosting.
i just have a question, how do you ping people with dota client? or maybe it’s not possible
WHenever i use dota client, i just use war3banlist to ping. the new warcraft banlist (beta version) allows you to use /latall command.
so can i use this on a mac or not?? the FAQ gives a link but i cant go there, needs registration or something, which i did but still says im not permitted to see the page..
ok this dota client thing banned me for using CC. ffs i always use CC whenever I play public games incase some random decides to ruin the game by intentionally feeding or whatever. (i’m basically sick of remaking a nice full house game just because of 1 person).
Question 1:
I’m banned for using a third party program, can I still benefit of the 55ms thing?
(I’m logged in, but the little light in the right corner is red instead of green).

17:07:24 : Reducing Warcraft hosting response latency… (Krrios solution)
17:07:25 : Hosting response latency reduction successful! (55 ms)
————————————————————————————————–
Question 2:
I’ve looked at their website for more info, but couldn’t really find anything. Like what is the DXD? (Is it Inhouse league?) in that case, what is the difference between the leagues (dota league/tda/inhouse)?
Thanks!
u can only use the program if u are playing from a computer in the USA right ?
This aint working to me of any reason im from sweden and i cant host

and what does this mean.
DotA Client will not query any of the remaining non-sanctioned player(s) status for at least another 10 seconds as all of them have been flagged for status flood control: onehundredcents (20 secs)
onehundredcents - player
DXD is an inhouse DotA league based on the west server.
Anyone find a solution to the Run-Time 5 error (I don’t get it, all these programs work perfectly for me (LC, DC, BL, everything…), but my friend is getting problems).
Hi anyone know abvout this message?You were banned from DSS (PID: 6430) for a forbidden kick app on February 10th, 2008
Armz, that maens you probably used CK with DC on. DC’s main purpose was to detect cheaters.
its say that i use an older version. something with b170000…
but i need b180000 to connect to the server…
i have the newest version of dc but it doesnt work since 2 days
i have the same problem with impi87….
i open dota client run warcraft log on bnet but nothing appears in dota client log and says not connected
i try the admin bypass still doesnt work
i try turning off firewall still didnt work
when i exit warcraft it says name/id not found
or when i log in bnet it says name/id not found
and yes i am using an administrator user
also my anti virus was off
any1 no how to fix

Hey. DC is way better than lc in my opinion. The DC log keeps saying Server timout because i guess too many people were using DC and they had to upgrade to a bigger server or something like that. try running it again and it should be fine. Great Tutorial!

What a fuck!!!!
i am banned in april 13 !!! i didin’t even kicked anybody i never used app NEVER!!
now i am banned why he fuck!!?
how i can fix it!? .TY
I love when people get caught hacking or using kick app and then claim they never use. We’ve had over 500 appeals in the last month and not one of them was “not” using it. Although, they seem to claim it at first.
Heya!
Looking for alternative of Listchecker, but little afraid about DC banning, please answer.
First of all, I don’t use any kind of hacks, so “cheating=ban” reason excepted.
Here’s small situation:
[It is NOT clan/inhouse/league game, just public.]
If I’m hosting b-net public game with DC and leave(or somebody else leave) among the game, I/he will get banned for it?
To ease my understand, please input among answer number in brackets:
(1)In this situation you/he don’t receive any ban;
(2)Ban account(I can register new and continue play);
(3)Ban on DotaClient(I can’t host/play with/on DC anymore);
(4)Permaban on B-net(way to buy new WC3 boxes);
If it will be (1), then tell me what server I need to choose(DGN Prime/DXD DGN Server/another) and what commands to enter for start game.
I want just play like on public, but with anti-lag features.
Thanks for reading!
DC can permaban you from bnet
cant*

THIS IS SOME SERIOUS ISSUE THAT MANY PEOPLE ABOVE STRUGGLED
SOMEONE PLEASE GUIDE US THROUGH THIS MISERY!
Hey I just got this program, Is it compatible with Vista?
I know a network workaround with most program that i use. But if i do that with certain programs like this i know it will not work.
Hi People,
for all of you that tried using DC on Vista.
Right Click on the Desktop Icon and select “Run as Administrator”!
And Restart after install before you want to use the Client only works after restart!
If that doesnt work. Could be your firewall blocking it without you knowing it.
Have fun
I read some of the comments and most people seem to the problem.
So just “Run as Administrator” and you should be fine.
I have Vista 64bit so that should not be a problem.
you stink nice try to infiltrate my pc.

What do you want? You need some programms to run in this mode because Vista Blocks certain processes. Had the same Problem with BanList. Maybe think next time before you write an answer here. And you can infiltrate your PC your self because I really dont care about other peoples PC’s.

You have to Start Warcraft and select a server. You get conneted “AFTER” you join the B.net so start Dota Client then Start WC3 + B.net then it should world.
The one with the Auth ID Problem
Did you install WC3 or your PC or did you just copy it? Try to install WC3 with a valid key then it should work!
DotA Client works well with lesser setups and require lesser knowledge of the program to use it. However, there is one feature that LC has that DotA Client does not and that is the “/refreshbnet” feature. In LC, you can type this in or set it as a hotkey using Blist. This allows you to refresh your game tremendously well. I can fill up any game within seconds and never have to wait. I can quickly get full houses on my other custom games as well; Pudge Wars, Line Towers, Footmen, etc. The refresh command on LC is the only reason why I think it is a little more “up there”. If Dota Client can incorporate this into its program, it would be awesome! If any other people find ways to put/use this command on Dota Client, please let me know. I’ve used Blist’s autorefresher, which works okay but is nothing compared to LC’s “/refreshbnet” command. I am sure that programmers can easily add-on this feature to Dota Client. I’ll be waiting for it!
Using DotAClient with Vista
On Vista it is pretty tricky to use. You have to either setup the program to find your War3 executable file or do this another way that I do…
2 Ways to make Dota Client work on Vista
1st Way:
1) Right-Click on the DotAClient application (a shortcut of it will work also)
2) On the pop-up, click on “Run as administrator”
3) Vista will now ask you for permission to allow the program certain rights to your computer
4) Click on “Allow”
5) Now you can use DotAClient, enjoy!
2nd Way:
1) Right-Click on the DotAClient application (a shortcut of it will work also)
Now you can use DotAClient, enjoy!
2) Click “Properties” on the pop-up
3) Inside of properties, click on the “Compatibility” tab on the top
4) On the very last option, it is titled “Privilege Level”, click on the box “Run this program as an administrator”
5) Press “Okay”
6) Now open up the program, Vista will ask you for permission to allow the program certain rights to your computer
7) Click on “Allow”

Wow…try to help some people out here and they think your trying to “infiltrate”. Lol. You have to allow rights to your computer if you want to use certain programs like banlist, dc, or lc.If you don’t want help or think its BOGUS then just keep it to yourself.
For people who want help here are some tips:
-You have to sign into Battle.net for DotaClient to work.
-Make sure you are on the “DotA Gaming Network Prime”
I don’t know why anyone would question the legitimacy of this guide. It’s very thorough and very complete. Nice work turtie!
On a separate note, new patch means that all previous versions become invalid. This eliminates all programs that reduce latency including:
1. LC (Listchecker)
2. DC (Dota Client)
3. DR (Delay Reducer)
4. VCK (Visual Custom Kick)
We should totally game sometime. How are things?
Hi….. i have installed my DC for a few days ago it worked as it should and no problems. Then suddenly one they it said that it couldn’t find my battlenet Id account so it wouldn’t connect…. what is wrong??? it worked with same account days ago and suddenly it can’t find the account ?? what am i going to do??
dota client stopped working for me after i installed the fucking new patch.
WHAT THE FUCK?????
AND BTW DOTA CLIENT DOESNT EVEN HAVE FUCKING PINGS
and i know how to run it as administrator on vista, because it was working perfectly fine…until the dickriding motherfucking new patch was installed…if i need to dl something or something like that. please give me a link.
and btw it keeps saying:
Name/Login ID not found

You need to wait until a new version is released due to the recent patch.
you damm asshole
no one joins my games. everything looks good but no one joins. does this auto refresh?
So when i go to run my DC it keeps saying that there is an issue and i should try yto run an admin rights bypass. when i do that i just get a box saying that it failed…. Can ANYONE help me cause im trying to run DC cause i have LC now but i cant use my wc3bl autorefresh so its like pulling teeth for people to join…
I am just wondering. Does using LC get you banned in battlenet?
people cant join my games on dota client, but they can on list checker
know hte problem?
Replies:
@lol?: When using Lc you change the ports on your battle.net. what you need to do, since you’re now hosting on bnet and not on lan, is go into gameplay in your options button of WC3 and change the port back to 6112, or your standard hosting port.
@Steven: Lc does not get you banned on bnet.
@xXmdsb08Xx: You need to refresh LC by typing “/refreshbnet” Should fix your problem.
By the way, I do like DotA client, but I cannot stand how it doesn’t ping, refresh, or give the ability to use other programs to refresh. I agree with Frozen_Firebat. And by the way, we ARE trying to help you guys. We could be playing DotA all day and just let you noobs quarrel and become more and more confused but instead we spend time on here to make sure you can play and have fun. Do NOT flame us. Do NOT be an ass. It’s not a very mature thing to do. Also, please try your best to speak English, for you will most likely get the best help that way. Thank you and I hope I solved some problems.
look i have done all the instructions but when i host after2 min i get this message
Sagiteera Wispers: dont think that your hosting is working mate (this is in green writing)
plz help

I am also receiving this message:
Reducing Warcraft hosting response latency… (Krrios solution)
21:34:12 : Could not reduce hosting response latency: Unknown reason. Try restarting Warcraft.
I also have tried using W3DR and i am getting a message like this
7/30/2009 2:18:22 AM: Could not change pre game delay value (LAN/NET, 998, 998)
Are there any guru’s out there that might possibly know what could be causing this?
It seems as though im not the only one with this problem as i used to be running w3dr perfectly fine, then out of the blue i got that error. Now no delay reducing program works. I tried using dota-client and it will not work either. It seems to me that the error is being caused by something other than the dota-client, that the error has something to do with our computers. If anyone has some networking knowdlege i would be very greatful. This problem is killing my hosting.
Have been trying for quite some time to figure out what can be causing the error.
Thanks for your time.
