Server Not Appearing on the List

Fixing a missing or expired GSLT causing your server not to show publicly.

Issue

Your server runs fine, but doesn't show up in the in-game server browser for other players, or the console shows a message like:

Could not establish connection to Steam servers. (GSL token expired)

Solutions

Missing GSLT

If you haven't set a Steam Account Token yet, your server will only be joinable directly by IP, it won't be publicly listed. Follow our guide on getting a GSLT and enter it into the "Steam Account Token" field in your startup section.

Expired GSLT

If a GSLT isn't used for a long period, it expires. To fix this:

  1. Go back to Manage Game Servers and click "Regenerate Token" on the token you're using.
  2. Copy the newly generated token and update it in your startup section.
  3. Restart your server.

One token, multiple servers

Each GSLT can only be used on one server at a time. Using the same token across multiple servers will cause authentication issues and players being randomly kicked. Get a separate GSLT for each server.
