See details in our
Privacy Policy.
â Why can't I find a player?
Possible reasons:
- Wrong Account ID: Make sure you entered the correct Account ID (integer, not Steam URL)
- No data on OpenDota: Player must have at least one public match
- Private profile: If the player's profile is private, OpenDota cannot access it
- Connection error: Check your internet connection
â Does the app support Dark Mode?
Yes! Guild Pulse uses Dark Mode by default to optimize for long gaming sessions.
Dark Mode is designed with Material Design 3 and automatically follows your system settings.
