Would love if they would actually move the launch queue a bit on Dota 2 for the SA steam accounts
Been itching to play for ages (and dont want to make a 2nd steam account for it)

From the Dota 2 South Africa Facebook Page:

"ARE YOU IN THE DOTA 2 QUEUE? GOOD NEWS GUYS!!
7 quick steps and you will be able to play!

-Download Hotspot www.hotspotshield.com (This is a a free VPN) It will change your IP to be from the USA.
-Install it and turn it on, it should say something like connection secure and IP is USA.
-Once connected, Go to the steam website IN YOUR BROWSER and you create a new steam profile.
-Once created you log in on that new profile IN YOUR BROWSER. (dont actually open the steam client yet.)
- When you've logged into steam via your browser, go to the the store and subscribe to dota2. It should say you already own dota2.
-After that, log out of steam in the browser and you turn off hotspotsheild.
-Now open steam client and log in on the new profile and dota2 should start to download."

Thanks man - saw similar advice on reddit but I specifically dont want a second steam profile (had this before - was a pain).
Dont play much of anything anymore due to work so suppose I'll just wait till they sort this out.

Im an idiot, I wish I had done this.

All is not lost, its simple to do next reload.

Before you reload, just copy Steam folder away from c:\Program Files (x86) to any drive even removable. Reload your pc and then instead of downloading Steam again, you just run the Steam.exe as admin for the 1st time, from where you copied it to.

It will set up steam pointing to that drive and you will not need to re-download all the games.
