Set a valid GSLT for App ID 304930, wait until it is online, search the Internet list by name or join by IP. If your Unturned server isn't showing in the server list, first check that it has a valid Steam game server login token (GSLT) for App ID 304930. Servers without one are hidden from the Internet list and, on our servers, never finish starting. Then search the **Internet** list for your exact **Server name**. Players can always join with the IP and port in the **Connect** menu. ## Quick checks | Check | Where | Fix | | - | - | - | | GSLT is valid | Console shows `Steam servers ready!` | [Set a GSLT](https://help.freakhosting.com/games/unturned/how-to-set-a-gslt-on-your-unturned-server.md) for App ID 304930 | | Server is online | Panel status | Wait until the map has loaded; if it stays on **Starting**, see [stuck on starting](https://help.freakhosting.com/games/unturned/unturned-server-stuck-on-starting.md) | | Searching the right list | In game, server list | Choose **Internet** and search your **Server name** | | Player filters | In game, server list filters | Clear filters such as map, password or full servers | | Same map version | Workshop maps | Restart the server after a map update so it downloads the new version | ## How to make your Unturned server show in the list **1. Set a valid GSLT** Create a token for App ID **304930** at [steamcommunity.com/dev/managegameservers](https://steamcommunity.com/dev/managegameservers) and paste it into **GSLT** on **Startup**. The [Unturned documentation](https://docs.smartlydressedgames.com/en/stable/servers/game-server-login-tokens.html) says servers without a token are hidden from the Internet list. **2. Restart and wait** [Restart the server](https://help.freakhosting.com/portals/game-panel/how-to-start-stop-and-restart-your-game-server.md). Wait for `Steam servers ready!` in the console and for the map to load. A server with many Workshop mods takes longer the first time because it downloads them. **3. Search by name** In Unturned, open the server list, choose **Internet** and type your **Server name** in the name filter. Searching is faster than scrolling. ## How to join without the server list The list isn't needed to play: * **Connect menu:** enter your server's IP in **Host** and the port in **Port**, for example `203.0.113.10` and `27015`. Both are on the panel's console page. * **Server Code:** the console prints a 17-digit Server Code when the server is ready. With a GSLT it stays the same after every restart. Players can type it in the **Connect** menu. * **Steam favourites:** add the IP and port to your Steam favourites and join from Steam. ## Why do Workshop maps cause problems? The server list checks the map's version before players join. When a Workshop map updates, players with the new version can't join a server still running the old one. By default the server watches the hosted map for updates, warns players in chat and shuts down after a timer. Start it again, or add a [schedule](https://help.freakhosting.com/portals/game-panel/how-to-configure-schedules-and-tasks.md), so it downloads the update. See [Workshop collections](https://help.freakhosting.com/games/unturned/workshop-collections-auto-subscribe.md). ## Frequently asked questions ### How long does it take for an Unturned server to appear in the list? It appears once the server is logged on to Steam and the map has loaded. If it still isn't there after a few minutes, join by IP; the listing doesn't change who can join. ### Why can my friends join by IP but not find the server? They are probably searching the wrong list, using filters, or typing a different name. Clear filters, choose **Internet** and search the exact **Server name**. ### Does a password hide my server? No, but players can filter out password-protected servers. Ask them to check their filters. ### Can I change how my server looks in the list? Yes. On **Game settings** under **Server list**, set **Short description**, **List description**, **Full description**, **Icon address** and **Thumbnail address**. See [game settings](https://help.freakhosting.com/games/unturned/unturned-game-settings-explained.md). ## Related guides > [card] [Unturned server guide](https://help.freakhosting.com/games/unturned/unturned-server-hosting-guide.md) > > Every Unturned page in one place. > [card] [Steam token (GSLT)](https://help.freakhosting.com/games/unturned/how-to-set-a-gslt-on-your-unturned-server.md) > > Required to be listed. > [card] [Stuck on starting](https://help.freakhosting.com/games/unturned/unturned-server-stuck-on-starting.md) > > Fix a server that never comes online. > [card] [Getting started](https://help.freakhosting.com/games/unturned/getting-started-with-your-unturned-server.md) > > Set up and join your server. *** > [!NOTE] > > **Tested by the FREAKHOSTING team** on our Game Panel on 2 November 2026 (Unturned 3.26.3.13).
