Update 0.11

Released 14 September 2026. A server browser patch: the developers admitted community servers had been underserved and started fixing that. They also announced a hard line on economy abuse.

The version number is the one from the developers’ announcement (Patch 0.11). They called the next patch 0.1.2.

Original on Steam

In short

Two server browsers: official and community servers are separate.
Community servers keep a permanent ID — you can join by number.
Cash exploits and GPU crashes fixed.
Ban policy: abusing economy bugs means a ban and a cash and XP reset; farming XP on farm servers means a permanent ban.

Server browser

The list is split into Community and Official.
Filters were removed from official servers, since there are no modified official modes yet. 0.1.2 brought advanced filters back.
Community server filtering is more reliable, and there’s text search.
A community server’s ID persists across matches and restarts. The number is longer for security reasons.
Show Empty/Full were added to the browser quick bar.
The Host button goes to the right place.
Server names sort alphabetically regardless of special characters and numbers. No more than one space in a row.

As an apology, community servers gave a +5% end-of-match cash bonus for a week after the patch. That’s over now.

Other changes

Several cash exploits fixed.
More GPU crashes fixed.
More server capacity in Asia.

Ban policy for economy abuse

The WARDOGS economy is shared by every player, so the developers come down hard:

Abusing cash exploits and bugs — a timed ban (longer with each previous ban) and a cash and XP reset.
Content that teaches people how to abuse systems, without trying to report the issue, counts as advertising cheats — permanent ban. Posting about a bug on social media or Discord is fine; the difference is alerting versus promoting.
XP farming is the most serious offence. The developers track which servers you join and know the farm servers. Stay on one for more than a few minutes — permanent ban.

The developers add that stumbling on a bug and testing it once or twice is fine. Abuse is doing the same thing over and over.

What they promised next

The developers are collecting community requests. In the pipeline:

favourite community servers;
tiered priority queues for community servers;
a message of the day on servers;
better warm-up activities;
no AFK kicks while a server is seeding;
team switching controls.

This doesn’t affect Season 2 content, which is being built in parallel.
