Change name

[MarijnDegen]

I've been playing the new renegade for quite some hours now, but i can't figure out how to chamge my username from player to my normal game name, how did you guys did it??

Open Renegade X via the launcher, there is a box to change your name.

Or use Steam if you want o be on the leaderboards.

We are looking at adding the name entry option into the in game menus.

its unreal engine, see if setname playername works when u open the console window, think on my keyboard thats the @ key to the left of my tilde~ char.

havent tried this but it worked in other unreal engine games, unless that got scrapped.

EDIT: nah just tried, doesnt seem to work, commands accepted but doesnt change, which is good in some ways.

Open the console by pressing the ~ key on your keyboard and type 'setname '.

Open the console by pressing the ~ key on your keyboard and type 'setname '.

i tried earlier and it didnt work, wonder if its because i added the game to the steam library and launched that way instead of normally.

I really wish you will be able to make an ingame account independantly from steam. I have nothing against steam but i really don't like the idea that i have to make an account on a program i never use in order to get on the leaderboard or something.

Today I was able do change my Name with the "setname " command.

Open your console or just use the chat Button F2 or F3 - delete "typeMSG" and then type in the command above.

Works!

Open the console by pressing the ~ key on your keyboard and type 'setname '.

This does work, however it is easier to do this:

Launch the game launcher. On the top of the launcher, there is a little box you need to press to change your playername. This playername MUST be identical to your Steamname ONLY to be tracked for leaderboard purposes. Other than that, your playername can be anything you'd like.

NOTE: You can't type in your name as: "Android 17" with a space between d and 1; it will only show "Android" ingame. Use an underscore "_" to devide into 2 words.

Ingame the underscore is visible, but removed within the commandbox by typing: "setname Android 17"

With regards to leaderboards:

I find it being unaffected for steam to be linked to ren-x. All I do is start up steam THEN start up the gamelauncher. Make sure my playername is the same as my steamname and voila, I'm tracked. The only thing you need to do is have steam opened before starting the gamelauncher.

I'm on the leaderboards and I only did the above mentioned. No reason to believe otherwise.
