Name is "null" on my Quest 2 with my purchased Pavlov VR?

[Heisenberg]

why isn't it using my steam name?
I've read that there is a "name.txt" you change in there but that seems to be a time before it was on steam maybe? or before oculus link

anyone know who to get it to use my name or change?

thanks

what you are describing(with the name.txt file) is the native Quest 2(Pavlov Shack) version NOT the SteamVR Pavlov game.
For the Quest 2 version you can find all necessary information here: https://www.pavlovquest.com/install

If you bought Pavlov on Quest, you got scammed. Pavlov is currently a free open beta on Quest.
Like the other person said, you have to change your name in the name.txt file, which can be done easily if you use SideQuest.

I said on steam. The whole point of this is I purchased the game on Steam that's why I'm here on steam forums. I'm playing on steam VR and my name says null.
Again I have the steam version I just bought and my name says null. Only information I can find to fix this is for older quest installs. Where you could manually change it.
How do I change my name on steam Pavlov which I'm playing on my quest 2

That's completely opposite of what I was asking. As I said to other guy. I said in the post above should this not be using my steam name.

I'll put it simple. I'm using a quest 2. I'm playing on Steam VR. Ive purchased the full Pavlov VR Game here on steam.
But my name in game says "null"

The only information I can find when googling this issue is for people who are using a very old version of Pavlov that's self installed on quest or the free version on side quest.

This is not my issue. I'm on steam. Own the full game on Steam. Playing on Steam VR. On my quest 2. And my name in game is "null" how do I change this.

That link you provided has nothing to do with the steam version on steam VR on quest. Thanks for trying I guess I didn't make it clear enough on OP.
I thought saying "why isn't it using my steam name" and that I'm using Oculus link that you'd know I was playing the steam paid version on steam VR. Sorry for inconvenience.

Any ideas now. ? Cheers.

Should my steam name be showing or what? Do you own the game does yours. Or you just providing the amazing helpful insist you gave lol :)

no its the steam game installed on PC the full Pavlov game, check my steam profile you can see my games, i dont have that basic pavlov game of sidequest its the Steam version

I am having the same problem you are having, I have bought it the same way you have. I keep searching and all I'm finding is people talking about how you have to look in files, and for that you had to have sideloaded the game, which I didn't. I'll keep looking, and if I find anything, I'll tell you.

Pavlov on Steam simply uses your Steam name, much like many many other games on Steam. Pavlov Shack, which is native to the Quest, uses a text file to determine your name on the Quest. I have no idea what your problem might be if your name is "null" when you play on Steam, are you offline on Steam maybe?

Does your main menu have a plain gray background, or an animated snowing background?

Really strange, that means you're definitely running the latest version on Steam. Hmm... try navigating to AppData Local (%localappdata% in cmd) and deleting your Pavlov folder, maybe?

One of Pavlov's long time community members put on a like a 20 post rant about various issues from the last patch, one of which altered his name on the scoreboard. He was pretty pissed lol.

I would not be surprised if it's another glitch or bug. I've got one bug celebrating its third birthday next month.
