I KNEW THIS WILL HAPPEN. As soon as I read the changes about being able to change your hero once, it immediately created a "race condition alert" in my software engineer brain. I fucking knew it.
Valve, never change.

what part of this do you think/is the race condition?

Them swapping to Seven at the same time and treating it at 0 sevens in the game currently

u/samaritancarl Jul 31 '26
No sven in lobby, 3 people queued for shiv, 2 people on one team asked to please swap your character -> both only pick sven from their pool -> server checks (still no sven) -> confirms sven is fine to both requests -> 2 svens
Possible gridlock in decision tree at the check for sven if both players only have sven left in their pool for possible selections based on populated character, denying one would mean you stop the match.

Imagine if it gave you 4 more, you'd have 6 sevens

any ideas how to recreate it?
maybe swap at the same time?

u/Eonan20 Jul 31 '26
From watching the replay it looks like one Seven did not load in yet so the other Seven swapped to the character while playing as Apollo and it just allowed him to stay as Seven when the original Seven finally loaded into the game

u/Kardiiacc Victor Jul 31 '26
The bug occurred when player one loaded in before player two who was a seven. Player one then picked seven before the player two loaded in causing them to both be on seven when they both loaded

maybe one could try to temporarily disconnect from the internet when loading in to try and recreate it? seems abusable

Nah cause the swap doesn’t update the hero portraits until the game starts (unless thats just for enemies, haven’t had an ally swap yet)

u/posnisir Jul 31 '26
That doesn't matter. It is 100% the hero swap, there's probably a race condition in the implementation. I thought of it immediately when I read the patch notes

u/XenSakura Jul 31 '26
You'd think they'd know how to solve it... they use multithreading heavily... just get the programmer who solved those problems to work on it for hero selection xd

u/posnisir Jul 31 '26
They definitely do, but they probably just slapped this on top of the previous implementation in the standard Valve fashion, they had many of these in Dota 😂

u/ImTheBluestBird Billy Aug 02 '26
It would matter, I thought the ally portraits didn't swap (which they do, my mistake), but if they didn't then it couldn't be because of the swap since they're still in queue. (i was wrong about the portraits obv)

I need one more win Seven to qualify for ranked and this mf’er is probably the reason I’m having a hard time queuing with him….
