How can I change my In-Game Username?

[Myristica]

Hello,
Is it possible for me to change my in-game username? It currently uses my Unicode based name, and it doesn't look like Eco supports Unicode (My name shows up as "???? ????"). It's only a mild inconvenience, but I'd rather not change my Steam username if I can help it.
Thanks

You can't. The name in Eco is the steam name with which you joined the server. If you change your steam name and then freshly join a server you will have a different name.

Hello, this doesn't work

As I said above, the name cannot be changed once you already joined a server, it must be a new one or the same after they have reset their map. The name you join a server with stays until the server is reset.

Tbh a feature to atleast pick a username should be added. Maybe in the character creator.

Or at least an error check to discard bad characters in the name, so you don't end up seeing a dozen people named "Unnamed #2 #3 #4" or variations.

Invalid characters are replaced with spaces, "Unnamed" appears when all characters would be invalid and the name would hence consist only of spaces, which is invalid in itself. We do plan to add the ability to choose a Eco specific username now that we have persistent avatars.

i will take credit for this feature ;) not for asking for it here but for doing it in my post from 2019 that i had forgotten about. where devs said it was not possible and too much work so it would not be happening lol
