Hi,
Valve announced yesterday a major upcomming change related to running CSGO servers.
CS:GO dedicated servers will soon require Steam Game Server Login Tokens (GSLTs). This is the existing system that TF2 uses for Favorites migration.
This transition will happen in three stages:
§ Stage 1 [NOW] : The GSLT creation utility goes live: https://steamcommunity.com/dev/managegameservers. Please test the interface and report back any issues in creating accounts. Note that TF2 server operators can now use this form to create GSLTs for TF2 (AppId 440).
§ Stage 2: An update to CS:GO's dedicated server will include the sv_setsteamaccount convar that allows you to log in with your GSLT. In this stage it will still be possible to run a dedicated server without a GSLT. Anonymous login will happen automatically if no game server login token is specified. Please report back any issues with logging in using the game server login token or otherwise.
§ Stage 3: Anonymous logins will be disabled in CS:GO. Please report back any issues.
All CSGO servers will be required to use a Game Server Login Tokens (GSLTs). Each server need to use an uniq GSLTs Token.
Account Requirements
Your Steam account must not be currently community banned or locked.
Your Steam account must not be limited.
Your Steam account must have a qualifying registered phone.
Your Steam account must own the game for which you are creating a game server account.
Your Steam account may create 50 game server accounts.
Stage 1 - 10/14/2015
The GSLT creation utility goes live: https://steamcommunity.com/dev/managegameservers.
Stage 2 (TBA)
An update to CS:GO's dedicated server will include the sv_setsteamaccount convar that allows you to log in with your GSLT.
In this stage it will still be possible to run a dedicated server without a GSLT.
Anonymous login will happen automatically if no game server login token is specified.
Stage 3 (TBA)
Anonymous logins will be disabled in CS:GO, the use of a GSLT will be required.
So far this have no impact on your CS:GO servers, but I would recommend you to not wait until the last minute to create your own token that will shorly be required to run your server.
