Troubleshooting

ldd ~/'Steam/steamcmd/linux32/steamcmd'
1)
I only do singleplayer local bot matches; LAN usage is untested
2)
Linux 64-bit
3) , 4)
Error! App '570' state is 0xE after update job.
5)
https://gitlab.steamos.cloud/steamrt/steam-runtime-tools/-/blob/main/docs/container-runtime.md implies medic is next; https://steamdb.info/search/?a=all&q=Steam+Linux+Runtime
6)
instead of clicking-off a selected enemy hero and automatically moving your hero, it'll keep the enemy hero selected and not move your hero
7)
apparently relies on a Local Dev Script feature and the scripts being in a bots folder at dota\scripts\vscripts
