Set Up Your Game Server Account Token (GSLT)
Before you start playing, you will have to set your Game Server Account Token (GSLT). This is required for your server to be available to other players and to be shown in a higher position on the official list.
This is done to check that the server is created by a real person, who can be responsible if the server is breaking the game’s terms of service. If it is, the server and your Steam account may be banned.
You will have to fulfill the following conditions to be able to generate a GSLT:
- Have a Steam account that is not banned or limited.
- Own the game you make a GSLT for.
- Have a phone number assigned to your Steam account.
- Not reach more than 1000 GSLT keys generated.
To generate a GSLT key and add it to your server, you need to:
- Go to the Steam Community page here and log in first.
- Go to the Steam Game Server page here.
- Find the
Create a new game server account
