Change nickname in game

[AcerolaOrion]

How do you change your nickname? I mean like I don't want to use this steam nick as csgo nickname. Sorry for my bad english, you know what I mean.

Thanks before.

From what you meant you mean you want to have a seperate username in CSGO and a seperate name on Steam right? Answer is no, the thing is, CSGO is part of Steam and if you have a name like "Ayy Lmao" on Steam, it will apply to CSGO. If you change Steam name, CSGO will also do the same. It is not like other games where certain ones will require you to register through their website and let you choose your username sadly.

I mean i remember in the past u could actually have a separate name in game from steam name by using console command *name (anything u want)* and it would change it for u, but i think it involved something with disabling steam cloud but i dont know whether it works with cs2 now, it worked for me with older games like hl2 deathmatch and others
