Players should ensure that Dota 2 is up-to-date by checking for updates in their Steam Library, as relaunching the game may download necessary patches.

Dota 2 players are currently facing a frustrating issue known as the 'Confirming Match' bug, which causes the game client to freeze during the match confirmation process.

It's important to note that cancelling the match search results in a matchmaking cooldown, as the game interprets this action as dodging the queue.

Additionally, toggling between manual and automatic server selection in Dota 2 may help resolve connection issues.

Restarting the internet connection by powering off the modem and relaunching Dota 2 can also be beneficial in some cases.

This bug is typically linked to server issues, particularly during game updates or when the game coordinator is down.

As a result, players often find themselves waiting for Valve's tech team to address these server-related problems.

To mitigate these issues, players can manually select a nearby server if the primary server is experiencing problems.
