Learn what a GSLT is, how to create one for Insurgency: Sandstorm with the correct App ID, and how to connect on ZapX without a token → Learn more
A GSLT (Game Server Login Token) is a login token issued by Steam/Valve for running dedicated servers for certain games. It is linked to a Steam account and registers the server with Steam.
For Insurgency: Sandstorm, a valid GSLT mainly ensures that a server appears in the game's community server list. You can also play on a server without a token by connecting directly using its IP address and port.

To create a Game Server Login Token (GSLT), your Steam account must not be restricted, banned, or community-banned. It must be linked to a verified phone, and you must own the game for which you are creating the token. You can create up to 1000 tokens per account.
Keep in mind that you are fully responsible for your tokens. If a token is misused or revoked, you may permanently lose access to the linked game. Never share your tokens with anyone, and if you do, delete them immediately. If your Steam password is reset, all tokens are automatically regenerated. Tokens that go unused for a long time expire, but can be recreated at any time.
To create a Game Server Login Token, sign in to your Steam account and visit Steam Game Server Account Management.
After signing in, you can create a new token using the form displayed on the page. In the App ID field, enter the App ID 581320 for Insurgency: Sandstorm. Do not use the Dedicated Server ID (581330) or the ID for the older Insurgency game. A token created with the wrong App ID will not work, and neither Steam nor the server will notify you.
You can add a description of your choice in the Memo field. This can help you identify the token's purpose later, such as the server's name or role. After entering both values, click Create to generate the token. The token will then be displayed.
Insurgency: Sandstorm reads the GSLT only as the startup parameter -GSLTToken=... when the server starts, not from a configuration file. Your ZapX server starts with fixed startup parameters. In the Configuration tab, you can change the Server Name, Map, and Scenario fields under Startup Parameters. There is currently no field for a GSLT.
For this reason, you currently can't add your own GSLT to your ZapX server. Your server will still run as usual. If it doesn't appear in the server list, connect through the in-game console using the open command and the IP address and port shown in Overview. For detailed instructions, see our guide Connect to the server.
Running multiple servers If you run an Insurgency: Sandstorm server elsewhere with a GSLT, each server needs its own token. It is not possible to run multiple game servers with a single GSLT.
You now know what a GSLT is, how to create one for Insurgency: Sandstorm, and how to connect to your ZapX server without a token. If you have any other questions or need help, our support team is available every day! 🙂
