Choose the server type
On Update 0.1.2, choose Official, Community, Infantry Mode or Low-Level in DEPLOY before searching. Patch 0.11 previously split Official and Community browsing; check your client version if you still see that older layout.
WARDOGS FIELD MANUAL
Find your room.
Update 0.1.2 adds DEPLOY server choices. Check your installed version, pick the room type, then verify the squad before spending.
All three Bakurani faction spawns and their routes are rebuilt in Season 02. The older community map views are not a current coordinate or route survey. Joining a match in progress obscures the map and blocks the spawn vehicle until the Control Zone is reached, under the new team-switch rules. Official servers now have region-based maximum ping limits, shown through browser tags and filters. Sustained high ping can cause a kick and prevent rejoining that server until the next map transition; the notice does not publish exact limits. BULKHEAD Season 02 notes · checked October 15 UTC.
Updated 2026-10-15 · Official notes checked 2026-10-15; the older player-report review date is retained.
BULKHEAD says DEPLOY now offers Official, Community, Infantry Mode and Low-Level servers. Official Advanced Filters return, and Join shows connection status followed by queue position when queued. Confirm your client is updated before using the new flow. These are developer-reported interface changes; Kingy has not reproduced them in-game. The Patch 0.11 steps below remain useful for Community search and persistent IDs.
Steam · Update 0.1.2 patch notes ↗THE ROUTE
Five moves to
the right room.
Use the browser as a decision tool. The fastest join is the one that leaves the whole squad with the same server identity.
Search Community servers
Open the Community list when you are looking for a hosted room. Use the server-name search and filters to narrow the list before you commit to a join.
Use Empty and Full as quick filters
The new quick controls are useful when a squad wants an open room or wants to avoid a server that has already filled. Recheck the list just before joining because the player count can move.
Share the persistent server ID
Community server IDs persist longer after Patch 0.11. Share the ID with your squad when you want everyone to search for the same room instead of relying on a moving name or list position.
Use Host only when you are hosting
The announcement adds a Host button for the Community flow. If you are joining someone else, search for their room or use your normal Steam join path instead of creating a new server.
RECOVERY NOTE
When the list
is empty.
Confirm the browser state first
Patch 0.11 introduced separate Official and Community lists, name search, filters, and Empty and Full controls. Update 0.1.2 reports newer DEPLOY choices, so confirm your installed version and visible search/filter state before treating an empty panel as a connection failure.
Use a shared ID as a diagnostic
A post-patch Steam report says a player could join with a valid Community Server ID while their Community list stayed empty. If a trusted squadmate has a current ID, trying it can separate a discovery problem from a connection problem. It does not prove that every ID will work or that the browser is fixed.
Recheck the filter sliders and regions
In a later reply, the same player reported that the list returned after manually moving the filter sliders, especially the minimum and maximum cash/reward values, and selecting European regions instead of the automatic option. They could not tell which change helped. Note your current settings, change one filter or region selection at a time, then refresh. Kingy has not reproduced this recovery; it may not resolve your case.
Do not stack unconfirmed fixes
The same report says cache clearing, file verification and reinstalling did not restore that player’s list. No official repair is documented here. Avoid copying BIOS, security, configuration-file or download changes from comments while you are still identifying the symptom.
Report the exact state
Include the client build, region, selected server list, search text, filter and Empty/Full state, time of the attempt, visible error, and whether a valid ID joined. That gives support a reproducible browser or connection case instead of a general “no servers” report.
PATCH READ
What changed
in 0.11.
Official and Community are separate
Choose the correct server category before searching. Community discovery now has its own name and filter controls.
Community IDs persist longer
Use the ID as the squad’s shared reference. It is more dependable than telling everyone to click the same moving row.
The cash bonus is temporary
Patch 0.11 announced a 5% end-of-match Community cash bonus for one week in September. That window has passed. No extension is established by the fetched notices, so exclude it from current income estimates.
Do not farm exploits
Cash exploits were addressed. The official policy says exploit abuse can bring bans and cash/XP resets, and XP-farming servers are not a safe shortcut.
Patch 0.11 browser changes come from the official Steam announcement. The empty-list branch is a September 15 player report with a September 18 update; the discussion was rechecked September 27. Its filter/region recovery is anecdotal, not a support fix or Kingy reproduction. The Patch 0.11 future-feature list is historical. Update 0.1.2 separately documents daily UTC restarts and RCON restrictions; it does not confirm every item from that older list as live.
