WARDOGS Server Browser Guide

Find the correct browser first

Official and Community are separate destinations. The patch removes unnecessary Official filters because the notice says official modified modes are not present. If you are searching for a community server, use the Community browser rather than expecting an Official filter to find it.

Use text search and check the Show Empty/Full quick-bar options. A filtered-out server and an unavailable server are different problems. Clear restrictive choices before diagnosing an outage.

Join by a persistent ID

The announcement says Community IDs now survive map changes and restarts and become longer for security reasons. Ask the server operator for its current complete ID. An old truncated code is not proof that the server has disappeared.

The same patch corrects the Host button destination and normalizes alphabetical naming. Do not rely on unusual spaces or punctuation to determine a server’s identity.

Features the notice did not ship

Favorites, tiered community priority queues, message-of-the-day prompts, warmup improvements, AFK seeding controls and team-switch controls were described as upcoming. This guide does not provide click paths for those features without a later shipping notice.

If the list or join still fails

Record the selected browser, search text, filters, server ID, game build and time. Check server status for dated notices and queue/kick troubleshooting for the distinction between a login queue and a server join.

What changed

This page follows the September 12 announcement for patch 0.11, replacing advice tied to the earlier single-browser experience. It is not a live server directory.
