How to Create a GSLT Token for Your ATS Server
How to generate a Game Server Login Token for your American Truck Simulator dedicated server for a persistent server ID.
A GSLT (Game Server Login Token) gives your server a persistent session search ID so players can always find it. Without one, the server gets a new temporary ID on every restart.
Creating a GSLT
- Go to Steam Game Server Account Management
- Log in with a Steam account that:
- Owns American Truck Simulator
- Has a registered phone number
- Is not VAC-banned or limited
- Enter App ID: 270880 (the base game ID)
- Add a description (e.g., "My ATS Server")
- Click Create
- Copy the generated token
⚠️ Important: Use App ID 270880 (base game), NOT 2239530 (dedicated server). Using the wrong ID causes the server to crash on startup.
Adding the Token to Your Server
In server_config.sii:
server_logon_token: "YOUR_TOKEN_HERE"Or set it in the Startup tab of the XGamingServer Panel.
Do I Need a GSLT?
- Without GSLT: Server works fine but gets a new session ID on every restart — harder for players to find
- With GSLT: Persistent ID — players can favorite and always find your server
Token Expiration
Tokens can expire. If your server stops appearing in the browser, regenerate the token at the same management page.
