Two observed behaviors that make things annoying for me:

1. When starting Dota, unless the client window receives focus, the shader caching process does not begin. That means that if I start Dota in a different workspace and am working on other things, the shader caching only begins once I switch to the window.
2. When accepting a match, if I change focus away from the game client, the client does not connect to match and I get dropped from the match unless I switch focus to game client.
