DEVS: I am logged in as someone else RIGHT NOW
I have reported this problem before, and it just happend right now.

I just joined PVE official server #39 again, the same one this happened on yesterday.

I have just appeared inside someones house, as a level 17 character that I have nothing to do with. The character has my name (at least on my screen), but the implant has HIS name.

I want to help you fix this, so I am hoping someone sees this now!

Now I'm getting questions from his clan mate. I don't feel comfortable to stay there. I am logging out but I am available to help you try to figure this out, and log back in, if you respond quickly.

I think it will keep logging me in as him. This happened there twice in a row now.

Again, the server is PVE Official server #39, I logged in from this Steam account, and my characters name is Jarok. But I was in control of someone else entirely, named darkman or something to that effect (the name was on implant). Definitley not my character. Part of a tribe. Started getting questioned by his friend ("you came back then?").

I could log back in again and record it.

I just recorded a short video of myself logging in on this other person, showing their name on the implant.

thats a weird bug, can you actually use the tribes tamed dinos? you can explain the situation to the other tribe members, i'm sure they would welcome the chance to rid the game of such a huge security problem.

I've done nothing but stand where he logged off and look around. I feel very uncomfortable to try anything else. It's not in my nature to take advantage of a situation like this. I just wanted to help demonstrate that this was a real problem.

not saying you should take adventage, but testing how far that bug actually goes might help the devs figure it out, if you explain the situation, i doubt the tribe would be angry

If I were in your shoes I would be scared to click New Survivor out of fear of it wiping the other guys Survivor not yours.

If you have the video, please share it. There's no ability for us to diagnose it live because we have to be able to reproduce it, but seeing it happen may help us in that diagnostic.

I got this exact same issue on OfficialServer5

edit: video removed. Still available privately if a dev needs to see it.

(you haven't missed anything.. just me rambling nervously, stating what I already stated above, and showing a brief bit of me in control of the other character).
