Error Erroneous Nickname: Reserved for services

[Archimedes]

Hi, the game can not connect to the IRC Server. It seems the geekshed IRC does not like my nickname and rejects the connection with a "Error Erroneous Nickname: Reserved for services".
Since the name can not be configured in-game the only option seems to changing my Steam name? And I would really like to avoid that, since I am somewhat proud of sticking with the same name since ever :(

=> I would really like to see the devs add an option to change the nickname in the TTS configuration.

(Yeah, I could do that by proxying the really simple IRC protocol and rewriting my nick on-the-fly. Or simply suck it up and change my steam nick - but I would really like to avoid either of that)

He probably played via family share

Knil I don't think that will help on his specific case.
I've tried using his nickname "Archimedes", and it doesn't even connect.
The /nick command will only work after it's connected, which seems like it will not happen originally.

Like Sekkuar said, family share. And so far I really like TTS :)

I suppose /nick won't work prior to connection setup (unless your client implementation updates the initial connection nick as well), but I'll give it a try tomorrow when I'm back at my place.

Nope, /nick only works after connecting to the server - so it's useless for rejected connections ;-)

@Knil: I know it only affects those with a nickname that's reserverd on your IRC server, and not too many people go by the nick of "NickServ" or "ChanServ" or ...; but any chance you will fix this? Pleeeease? =)

(Fix means either add a textbox to the menu, or make the default nickname editable via a text file or give something like /setdefaultnick or make /nick also set the connection-nick or ... well, anything? :))
