To set a Steam game server login token (GSLT) on a FREAKHOSTING Unturned server, create a token for App ID 304930 at steamcommunity.com/dev/managegameservers, paste it into the GSLT variable on Startup (or Steam game server login token on Game settings) and restart. Our Unturned servers need a valid token: without one the server can’t log on to Steam and never finishes starting.

​
Why does an Unturned server need a GSLT?

A GSLT is a key from Steam that lets your server log on to Steam as an internet server. Our Unturned servers run as internet servers, so the token is required:
  • With a valid token the server logs on, appears in the Internet server list and keeps the same Server Code after every restart.
  • With no token or a wrong one the console shows Failed to connect to Steam servers because k_EResultInvalidParam and the panel stays on Starting. Nobody can join.

​
How to create a GSLT for Unturned

1

Open Steam's token page

Go to steamcommunity.com/dev/managegameservers and log in with your Steam account.
2

Enter the App ID

Enter 304930 in the App ID field. That is Unturned’s own App ID.
3

Add a memo and create the token

Type a memo you will recognise, such as your server name, and create the token.
4

Copy the token

Copy the Login Token. Keep it private, as anyone with it can use your server’s identity.
Use one token per server. If you run two Unturned servers, create two tokens.

​
How to add the token to your server

1

Open Startup

In the Game Panel, open your server and click Startup. See startup variables.
2

Paste the token

Paste the token into GSLT. It saves when you click outside the field.
3

Restart the server

Restart the server and watch the console.
You can also set it on Game settings: under Server list, click Change next to Steam game server login token, paste it and save. It is marked STARTUP because both places store the same value. Remove clears it.

​
How to check that the token works

If Steam rejects the token, create a new one on the same Steam page, paste it and restart. A token that you deleted or regenerated on Steam stops working.

​
Frequently asked questions

​
Is the GSLT free?

Yes. Any Steam account that meets Steam’s requirements can create tokens on the managegameservers page.

​
Which App ID do I use for Unturned?

304930, the App ID of Unturned. Don’t use the App ID of the Unturned Dedicated Server tool.

​
Why is my Unturned server stuck on Starting?

Almost always because the GSLT is missing or invalid. See server stuck on starting.

​
Can I use the same token on two servers?

No. Each running server needs its own token.
