We don't have a backed player guide for Black Mesa yet. How many can play depends on mods, world and play style. The price follows memory, not player count.

Your own Steam token (GSLT)

For Black Mesa you can use your own Game Server Login Token. Without one, the server runs anonymously.

Valve sets conditions for the account that creates tokens. The current ones are listed on that page.

  1. Sign in with your Steam account at steamcommunity.com/dev/managegameservers.
  2. Enter app ID 362890 and give the token a memo, such as your server's name.
  3. Copy the token (32 characters, letters and digits only) and keep it somewhere safe.
  4. If Valve revokes the token, create a new one there.

Questions about Black Mesa

How do my friends join?

Through the multiplayer menu in Black Mesa. Depending on the game that's the server list, a direct connection with address and port, or an invite code. Every player needs their own copy of the game.

How did you pick the sizes?

We installed and started the Black Mesa server in our own test run and measured it with no players connected after five minutes. Each size adds headroom for players on top. Nothing has been measured with players yet: mods, big worlds and full lobbies need more memory, so go one size up.
