@gabefollower This was noticed on Reddit: https://t.co/36nZ2lDuee
And half an hour later, they renamed this variable. This is the first time I can remember something like this, at least in Dota
@gabefollower For a little context: first, they added the variable m_bHackAllPlayersLoadedForDarkCarnivalPreLaunchModifierApplication, which refers to the Dark Carnival event, which, according to other sources in the code, is being prepared in the game.
@ThourCS2 The screenplay-tools library was added in the Dota 2 update with big-patch-update 7.41 about 10 days ago. So in theory it could be related to any Valve game, or maybe they just decided to reuse the same tech across different things.
@gabefollower i was a bit hasty, there is no update to the proto from the second your screenshot in Dota, this may already be a real deadlock-specific thing
@gabefollower Aren't these just another random lines from Dota?
There was a similar protobuff update for Dota back on January 13th
These timing changes were close to the crafting changes in the Monster Hunter event
