DOTA 2 Leak

Post by Inevitab13 »

Found a link to a leaked DOTA 2 client today.

http://media.dota-2.vn/client/Steam.rar

However, the file downloads at around 1KB/s for me. Could someone else download this and verify that it's legit?
Cheers

It's 404 now, could you upload it somewhere please?

If you downloaded it, is it client? Are there viruses in it?
---EDIT---
Yes, it's a build, but lacking many necessary files (mostly there are no files in folders). Magnet link: magnet:?xt=urn:btih:99E628FF3714AD27FF8901E2786D714BBD228CAD&dn=Steam.rar&tr=http%3a//tracker.torrentbox.com%3a2710/announce

VPK files are full.

I think there are no viruses, but who knows?
---EDIT---
Sounds from the same website: http://www.fileserve.com/file/yH44U3q/D ... _sounds.7z (this is the only hosting I found).

Not uploading to FTP because needs virus check.

That archive doesn't seem to want to open.

Is this the same leak some Vietnamese Beta tester leaked?

Apparently there is some "ep3" code in it -> http://lambdageneration.com/posts/dota- ... hree-code/

I would love to see those files :P

Managed to get a copy here: Torrent link removed, no posting of torrent sites on BA!
No viruses, archive opens perfectly.

Torrent is legit and so far I haven't had any AntiVirus notifications, thx Inevitab.

I didnt try out the client though so I dont know if it works...

The mentioned source files are listed in this file (its included in the leak): http://www.dota2.cyborgmatt.com/dota_re ... t_good.txt
Here is basically the most important stuff listed: http://www.flamehaus.com/bbs/viewtopic. ... 1#p3624301

So is there anything that can be done with those EP3 files to see them in action or examine them?

no, they are just filenames listed in a txt (something like when you run a dirlist command that makes a file with the content of the folder) ...that's not the same which was leaked :)

I think it's packed with LZMA2, you need latest 7-Zip.

When I got the DOTA 2 leak I made another steam account on steam to try it out. It is functional, today there were 104 testers playing. Sadly I couldn't play with the testers because I don't have enough files to even play the game in gameplay.

Pretty sad the leakers account is in the login menu. :P

Now THAT is interesting, looks like Ep3 will feature the return of the Egon!
So could someone upload what was actually leaked?

(Or PM it to me.)

So is there any way to get the necessary files required to run the game?

I haven't downloaded it yet but presumably there would be a way to crack through any sort of release date check or something by changing the time server it connects to.

I tried connecting to the known DotA 2 beta servers when it first leaked, but it complained that I needed Steam running to connect to the server.
I'd rather not have my account banned so I didn't pursue it any further.

I'm pretty sure it's a bit late for that, Valve's servers would now be out of date with the leaked client

Excuse the bump but which build was this? Is it from before the public beta?

Does the build have a server.dll?
