Patch 0.11 separates Official and Community server browsers, adds text search and improves Community filters. Community server IDs now persist across matches and restarts, so a player can join by ID. BULKHEAD also says community servers receive a 5% end-of-match cash bonus for the next week. The post lists favourites, priority queues and other tools as upcoming—not live—features.
What changed in the browser?
- The front end is split into separate Community and Official browsers.
- Official-server filtering was removed because BULKHEAD says it has no official modified modes.
- Community-server filter reliability was improved and text search was added.
- The quick bar can show empty or full servers.
- Server names are ordered alphabetically regardless of special characters and numbers; multiple consecutive spaces are no longer allowed.
How to find a community server
- Choose Community rather than Official in the browser.
- Use text search and filters to narrow the list by the operator's public name or details.
- Use Show Empty/Full when you specifically need an open match or want to see every listed server.
- Ask the operator for its server ID if you are joining a particular group; the new IDs persist through map changes and restarts.
- Check that server's own rules before joining. Moderation, whitelists and any local rules remain the operator's responsibility.
What does a persistent server ID mean?
Before Patch 0.11, BULKHEAD says community-server IDs could be wiped on a map change or restart. The update makes IDs persist and gives each server a unique, longer number intended for secure joining. It is useful for returning to a specific community; it is not a universal invitation, password, whitelist bypass or guarantee that a server has free slots.
Is there really a 5% cash bonus?
Yes, according to the Patch 0.11 announcement: for the next week, community servers offer a 5% end-of-match cash bonus. The official wording limits this to the stated temporary period and to end-of-match cash. It does not establish a permanent bonus, change every in-match reward, or authorize XP farming or exploit use.
What is still upcoming?
- Community-server favouriting.
- Tiered priority queues for community servers.
- A Message of the Day prompt.
- Improved warmup activities.
- Disabling AFK kicking during seeding and team-switching controls.
BULKHEAD calls these pipeline features, so do not expect them in Patch 0.11 until a later official update confirms delivery.
Maintenance and Asia capacity
The Patch 0.11 notice scheduled roughly one hour of maintenance for September 14 at 08:00 UTC, which is 16:00 in China and Taiwan and 17:00 in Japan and Korea. The announcement also says Asian server capacity has increased. Scheduled maintenance and added capacity are not guarantees that every browser, match or connection issue has disappeared.
Bottom line
For a specific community, open the Community browser, use its text search or persistent ID, and review that server's rules. Patch 0.11 makes those steps more practical and adds a temporary 5% end-of-match cash bonus, while favourites and priority queues remain future work. Use the official browser and normal play—not farm servers or exploits—to keep progress safe.
