R315r4z0r Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 I know this might be a stupid question, but I've been trying to find an answer on the forum and haven't found anything. I've asked in game and no one has given me an answer. Basically, whenever I play, my name is defaulted to "Player256." Every time I join a match, I have to pull up the console and manually do a "setname" command to get my name displayed properly. Changing my name in the launcher does nothing and I see no other name change options available. The only thing else that I can think of is that it's probably saved in some file in the game's folder, but I have no idea what I'm looking for. Can someone please help me with this?

Totem Arts Staff NodSaibot Posted February 22, 2020 Totem Arts Staff Share Posted February 22, 2020 Are you running steam? If your name on steam is too long/short or it has incompatible characters, it will get set to player name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R315r4z0r Posted February 22, 2020 Author Share Posted February 22, 2020 Yes, I am running steam. My steam name is the exact same as it is here. I've played this game in the past with the name working fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reivax Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 i guess R315r4z0r is supposed to be readable by Renegade X - i've already seen longer names with strange symbols it's strange.. be sure steam is running when you play RenX by writing !rank in chat, if you haven't statistics then steam is turned off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totem Arts Staff NodSaibot Posted February 23, 2020 Totem Arts Staff Share Posted February 23, 2020 Your Steam profile name is 2 letters long. Minimum is 3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R315r4z0r Posted February 23, 2020 Author Share Posted February 23, 2020 (edited) Hmm. Okay, yeah, so after I changed my profile name, it started to work. Thanks But that leaves me with the question: what's the function of the "Edit name" option in the launcher?
