WARDOGS Patch 0.11 Notes: Server Browser and Cash Bonus

What is new in WARDOGS Patch 0.11?

Patch 0.11 is the server-browser update released after the September 14 maintenance window. It separates Community and Official browsing, improves the way Community servers are found, and adds a direct Server ID route for regrouping with friends. It also started a one-week 5% End of Match cash bonus for Community Servers.

The update is aimed at making player-hosted matches easier to discover without changing the three-team Control Zone match structure. Use the Community Server Browser guide for the button-by-button route and the current search workflow.

How did the server browser change?

The front end now has separate Community and Official browsers. Official-server filtering is removed because the current Official browser does not need modified-mode filters. Community filtering is more reliable and now includes text search, so players can search by a server name instead of scanning every row.

The quick bar adds Show Empty/Full controls. The update also sends the Host button to the correct location, sorts server names alphabetically regardless of special characters and numbers, and prevents server names from using more than one consecutive space.

How do Community Server IDs work?

Community Server IDs now persist between matches and restarts, with each server receiving its own unique ID. To join one, open DEPLOY, enter the Server Browser, click JOIN BY ID in the bottom-left, type the six digits, and select LOOKUP. A displayed ID such as 700-118 is entered as 700118.

The ID route is useful when a squad is already in a match. Select the server row to see its details and read the ID from the panel, then send the digits to the rest of the group. Steam invitations remain available after a player joins a server.

How does the 5% cash bonus work?

For the week after Patch 0.11, Community Servers provided a 5% End of Match cash bonus. The promotion is now historical. The bonus belonged to the match-end payout; it was not a 5% increase on every Control Zone tick, revive, transport run, or other mid-match action.

The cash guide now covers safe routes, Update 0.1.2 economy rules, Hot Zone income, transport, logistics, and the cost of each life.

What other fixes shipped with the patch?

The patch fixes various cash exploits, addresses more GPU crash paths, and increases server capacity in Asia. The economy-abuse policy in the same announcement says repeated cash exploit abuse can lead to a timed ban and a cash and XP reset, while content that teaches economy exploits can lead to a permanent ban. XP-farming servers can also trigger permanent account penalties.

Those enforcement notes matter when choosing a Community Server. Use ordinary player-hosted matches and avoid servers or videos that advertise ways to inflate cash or XP outside the normal match loop.

Which browser features are still coming?

The announcement lists Community server favouriting, tiered priority queues, a message-of-the-day prompt, improved warmup activities, AFK kicking controls during seeding, and team-switching controls as upcoming features. They are planned browser improvements, not extra buttons required for the current Server ID flow.

What should you read next?

Use the Community Server Browser guide when you need to join a named server or regroup with a squad. Read the server status guide for maintenance and access checks, and the official news index for the chronological announcement archive.
