I run a dedicated server, what do I do?

You will need to set up a GSLT token for your server. It's quite easy to do.

You can register GSLT tokens here: https://steamcommunity.com/dev/managegameservers (You must log into your Steam account before doing so)

After you have your GSLT token, all you have to do is to add the following to your server start up procedure or launch shortcut: -SetSteamAccount=

All servers require a unique GSLT meaning you will need a token for each server if you run multiple. Do not share your tokens with anyone!

Dedicated Server Guide Update

To host a dedicated server, you can follow the original guide which has been updated to reflect this change.

If I’m just a player, do I have to do anything?

Nope! The only change might be that some dedicated servers may no longer appear in the server browser, meaning the dedicated server owner has not set up a token yet.

The latest update also decreases the game's size on disk by about 2 GB.

See you in space!
