How to Create a GSLT Token for Your ETS2 Server

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

1. Go to Steam Game Server Account Management
2. Log in with a Steam account that:
   • Owns Euro Truck Simulator 2
   • Has a registered phone number
   • Is not VAC-banned or limited
3. Enter App ID: 227300 (the base game ID)
4. Add a description (e.g., "My ETS2 Server")
5. Click Create
6. Copy the generated token

⚠️ Important: Use App ID 227300 (base game), NOT 1948160 (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.
