- Fixed a bug preventing skyboxes from appearing in the Dota VR Hub.
- Fixed a crash when entering certain unicode strings in chat.

Player Cards
- Which player card is silver/gold is now randomized in the card list.
- You no longer have to confirm when dusting a duplicate common in the pack open dialog.
- In the card selection popup, it's now sorted by team then player name.
- The team selection dropdown in the card selection popup is now sorted by team name.

* Fixed player card pack dialog erroring if you clicked the pack again while it was opening. No cards were lost by this, it was just causing the dialog to show an error message rather than the cards received.

The International 2016 Compendium update has arrived, bringing with it a host of new and classic features designed to let you interact with the biggest tournament of the year while using your powers of prediction to score Battle Points.

COMPENDIUM FEATURES
Undertake the Fantasy Challenge by unwrapping your 15 Player Card Packs to stack up a roster of Dota elite; fill out a Bracket Prediction to see how close you can predict the flow of the Main Event; or flex your knowledge of the overall meta by making Tournament Predictions. Then, once the tournament begins, make your in-game Battle Predictions during live matches of The International to work towards a new set of Achievements. The stronger your performance, the more Battle Points that await you.

DOTA VR HUB
This update also includes the release of the Dota VR Hub. Put on a headset and join your friends and other Dota fans to watch live matches or replays in Dota VR Theater, where you can stand surrounded by heroes and watch the action unfold on an enormous screen. Immerse yourself further by jumping through the minimap into the game itself. Watch from a bird's-eye view or plant your feet on the ground to watch the battles rage around you at full scale. We will continue to improve the Dota VR Hub as we approach The International, so try it out and let us know what you think.

Head over to the Compendium Update page and VR Hub FAQ to learn more. We've also added a convenient Notifications dropdown next to the Armory button in the client to help keep track of all the new things included in our updates.

TOURNAMENT NEWS
