Additional Changes

 * Fixed a problem that could cause frame rate hitches, especially for players subscribed to a large number of hero guides
 * Added a mechanism to Steam for Dota to tell it when you are in a match, so Steam should not patch the game. Steam never downloads updates to the game, or custom game items that have already been completely installed, once you launch Dota. This change ensures that Steam will also not update Dota if you exit the game or crash and try to relaunch Dota.
