Change Name

Frohman

Hello, just wondering if it is possible to change your in game name for NS2?

I know NS2 takes your Steam friend's name, but I have since changed that and NS2 has not updated.

Cheers,
Frohman

It doesn't take your Steam Friends name though, maybe on initial startup it does?

player

<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->// Set default player name to one set in Steam, or one we've used and saved previously
local playerName = Client.GetOptionString( kNicknameOptionsKey, Client.GetUserName() )<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->
So yes, it does initially set it to whatever your steam-name was at the time of first start-up.

Hi, sorry to use this thread but i didn't wanted to create a new one for this question.

I always had a different nickname for my Steam account and in Natural Selection 2 but it's been several days or weeks if i change my NS2 nickname, it will change my Steam nickname. How can i keep the different nicknames?

Thank you.

Just under the nickname textbox ingame in the settings, you see an option that allows you to disable syncing the steam and ingame name.
