New Dota 2 Neutral Item Can Crash the Game Client

Players have discovered that the newly introduced neutral item, Pyrrhic Cloak, can potentially crash the Dota 2 game client. This issue emerged following the release of patch 7.38, which introduced the problematic artifact.

The game crash can be triggered when at least one Pyrrhic Cloak is present on each team. If the item holders use the cloaks on each other and one of them takes damage, it results in an unexpected client shutdown.

Due to this bug, organizers of the DreamLeague Season 25 tournament had to prohibit participants from selecting this neutral item. Additionally, they implemented other restrictions to address various issues that arose with the 7.38 patch.
