This guide explains how to set a GSLT key on your Insurgency: Sandstorm server. A Game Server Login Token (GSLT) is used to authenticate your server with Steam services and helps ensure your server appears correctly in the server browser.

Configuring a valid GSLT key is an important step for maintaining a stable and publicly accessible server. The steps below will walk you through generating and applying a GSLT key to your server configuration.


#GSLT Key Requirements

In order to be able to generate a GSLT, you must have a steam account which:

  • Is not banned or blocked.
  • Is not limited.
  • Has a qualifying registered phone.
  • Owns the game for the server you are making a key for.
  • Has not reached the cap of 1,000 GSLT keys.

If your server is found to be breaking Valve's ToS, the server and your linked steam account may be banned.


#Obtaining a GSLT Key

  1. First, make sure that you are logged into Steam Community.

  2. Navigate to Steam Game Servers Account.

  3. At the bottom of the page, fill out the App ID value of the game (Insurgency: Sandstorm is 581320).

  4. Add a memo or note if you want. Select the Create button.

  5. Your GSLT key is the Login Token that will appear. You can now enter this when prompted during the setup wizard.


#Adding the GSLT Key to your Server

  1. Access your Control Panel and navigate to the Config tab.

  2. Select the Insurgency: Sandstorm Server Settings and locate the Steam GSLT key.

  3. Implement your newly generated GSLT Key from the previous steps,

  4. Save and restart your server to ensure the new changes apply.
