South African DOTA 2 players have been up in arms after locally-hosted servers were hit with outages.<\/p>\n
Most of the complaints\u00a0were pointed directly at MWEB, who are responsible for the hosting of the servers.<\/p>\n
In a statement on its GameZone <\/a><\/strong>site, MWEB has now addressed these issues directly, pointing out that while they are responsible for hosting the DOTA 2 servers in South Africa, Valve is responsible for managing them.<\/p>\n Servers for Steam games like Dota 2 and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive are hosted by MWEB GameZone but managed<\/u><\/b> by Valve.<\/p>\n The fact that we don’t manage the servers for Dota 2 means that unlike the 50+ servers we host for other PC games, we have very limited control.<\/p>\n We teamed up with Valve to provide a platform for South African PC gamers to at least play Dota 2. I want you to know that we are doing everything in our power to aid Valve in making the experience as enjoyable as possible.<\/p>\n According to Valve, one of the servers hosting Dota 2 instances in South Africa needs a reload. We are busy with the reload process, and will hand it back to Valve to do their part of the configuration.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n MWEB has said that the server issues will hopefully be fixed by this weekend.<\/p>\n Have you noticed issues with South African DOTA 2 servers?
