I can't join bot hosted games

[cazzacalico]

Hey, I have never been able to join a bot hosted game by getting the name, for example: Dota #123 and typing it in the 'Game Name' and clicking 'Join Game' once i have done that, it pauses for a few seconds and you see the name at the top of the list then it comes up with an error. See attachment for screenie

Thanks~!

If your ping is too high bots will block you from joining their game.

Or he's banned.

No my ping is not too high and I haven't been banned because it happens to every bot game no matter what map or clan.

Well, my friends had this problem too, so they just went to there start - computer - then something and did something then they could join, it was like something is blocking you from it.

Do those bots use banlists?
It could be the case that you're on a banlist (for hackers). And maybe bots use those.

But probably whoareyou is right although he isn't very clear.

Well what I mean is your computer's setting is somewhat different than everyone else's and so the Bot's are kinda blocking.
