<cat>Play.Hosting</cat>⤶ With the December 2015 update Garry's Mod game servers may now use the Steam Game Server Accounts feature.⤶ ⤶ ## Why do I need a Steam Game Server Account? What does it do?⤶ Essentially Steam Game Server Account helps your players find your server should the IP address of your server be changed.⤶ ⤶ ## How to get a Steam Game Server Account?⤶ The process of setting this up for your server is pretty straight forward.⤶ ⤶ First log into your Steam account and follow this link:⤶ ⤶ ⤶ https://steamcommunity.com/dev/managegameservers⤶ ⤶ Make sure your Steam account matches all the requirements, then enter the required information into the text boxes on the page.⤶ * The first field should always be set to 4000 for Garry's Mod.⤶ * The second field can be anything that will help you identify the specific server in a list of other Steam Game Server Accounts.⤶ Then press Create.⤶ ⤶ After pressing Create, the page will reload and a new entry will be shown on the page, containing the memo, the login token and the app id for which the login token is generated for.⤶ ⤶ From this page you also can:⤶ * Delete any Login Tokens you own⤶ * Generate a new Login Token for given server ( You will need to change it on your server too )⤶ * Set another memo for any Login Token you own⤶ ⤶ **WARNING! EACH SERVER MUST HAVE UNIQUE LOGIN TOKEN!**⤶ ⤶ Once you got your Login Token, copy it and add the following to your command line parameters:⤶ ⤶ ```⤶ +sv_setsteamaccount YOURLOGINTOKENHERE⤶ ```⤶ ⤶ and restart your server.⤶ ⤶ Your server will now have a static SteamID/Steam Account.⤶ ⤶ ## Tips⤶ * Specifying an invalid / expired key will prevent the server from connecting to Steam servers. This can be intentionally used if you do not want to discard the public IP address of a development server.⤶ ```⤶ +sv_setsteamaccount "IAmAnInvalidKey"⤶ ```⤶ ⤶ ⤶
