MechanicalMan Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 OOI, how will we set our user name in game? Will there be a 'account' creation or some such thing? If so where will we be making them? Like the old GameSpy accounts from Renegade olds of old. 0=MM=C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volumed Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I think it's going to work with ingame profiles (Would be the most logical) and we life in the steam generation today. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoundShades Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I believe the game lets you log in freely under a name that you just type in the options menu. However, there is progressive leaderboard tracking, and that is done through Steam. So basically, the game isn't installed on steam, the game doesn't run through steam, steam doesn't launch the game, but there is a detection where steam can tell you are playing RenX and tracks it on the leaderboards through your Steam. From what I heard on that, it now makes more sense than ever for this game to be on steam (optionally downloadable through steam, also with a standalone installer).

PermaGrin Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 2 ways so far.... If you have Steam enabled, the game uses your Steam name. Using Steam, currently is the only way to have your stats tracked, I believe. Alternatively, the launcher will allow you to input a name to be used in the case that Steam is not being used. As far as I know, this method does NOT allow your stats to be tracked at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFJake Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 The steam public name is changeable, I'm assuming they are using this (I would not accept my steam account name being shown). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renalpha Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Wouldn't they use your steamid instead of your name. Would make more sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodlesocks Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 It uses whatever you have your steam friends name set to =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
