"Append Nicknames" steam setting keeps resetting to off

[Terran]

I want it to stay on, but it is consistently and constantly turning itself off. Not just on tuesday maintenance - randomly throughout the week it can and will do this. It has become maddening. Is there a reason for this? How do I permanently fix this?
Thanks.

This has been around for ages and reported a few times before. I get more berserk than I probably should from how many times a week it occurs. I would set my expectations to it being a feature rather than a bug at this point with how little developers care about it.

Yeah, you might be right. It might be they just remove the option in the future or something. If so I guess I'd have to remove every single nickname from people, because then everyone would be "Someguy/Played CSGO"
Frustrating!!

I lean towards your idea of creeping normality. I also don't know what their plan is other than to... perhaps do away with the bytes of data stored in everyone's accounts for others' nicknames due to costs? It seems to happen more than ever these days with corporations dumbing down; rather engaging in reckless ensh*ttification of their platforms or products. Who knows anymore, however I can only keep my fingers crossed it at least doesn't get stripped from the client settings altogether. And if it does, surely there might be more uproar about that than this issue had prior.

This is probably the 10th time this week it's happened to me. Extremely annoying.
Also if you move friends up to your favorites, it's completely unaffected by any setting. Always goes by the nickname.

Hopefully it really is just a bug...

It happens a lot to me too. 100% every tuesday, and then oftentimes randomly throughout the week!

If you dont know the clear DL cache and delete web page user data, or even steam flush cmd then you have tried nothing. ( i do not say steam cant have a bug. ) but we cant fix your local cache and outdate data page and cookie settings, this is why its call clear web page user data now.

And you can google them things, in how to do.

This is years ago steam had cookie settings they merge them into web user data.

And then you dont mention you have tried them, then its same as you did nothing here, we are not mind readers here.

This is a user forum and we only got what your have typed here, and even we can overlook or miss read what you have tried, also why many helper sometimes repeat solution again.

And be happy here some of us dont see eye to eye in what you have done to try to fix it.

gl understand why this post has such explanation.

According to me, i see no tekst with what you did try to do, to fix it.

Pretty sure the other helper here will see same thingy, ( i did not say we can fix it, its more the procedur you did and did not type it here. )

gl with it.


ps.
I don't know how many times, i have seen a steam user complain over a setting that's there or not, or web content is outdate, even in change avatar logo, all i did was exit steam and start steam then its get update.

And we are back in be happy most steam helper give a crap in what other say, we try trust our experience until that don't work anymore or things get a new issue or side effect with it. (and yet we are not support here ) we are steam user here only.

So flushing the cache? Would...that really stop it from resetting this option?

Did we made steam NO, so how come you think we know what steam flush cmd cover.
and, we other have use and locate the cmd, and its still there made by steam.
this is not a Flush DNS cache, if we need to explan to you what Flush do gl with read steam cmd line options. ( im sure someone at steam support know exatly what that cmd do. ( but they dont write here, and information on the cmd is short to the point as it was made so many years ago.

found on the NET ( gl with it ) + we dont know what else steam could have update or even disable them cmds, such is seen before.. gl with it again.

What is the Steam flush config command?
The Steam flush config command is used in the Steam client application to clear the local configuration settings stored on the user’s computer.

Steam will delete the user’s saved login credentials, custom settings, preferences, and any cached data or temporary files when executing this command.

The primary purpose of this command is to troubleshoot issues related to corrupted or outdated configuration settings that may be causing problems with the Steam client’s functionality.

By clearing the configuration settings, users can reset the Steam client to its default state, often resolving issues related to login problems, download errors, or other matters that outdated or corrupted settings may cause.

However, it’s important to note that executing this command will erase all of the user’s custom settings and preferences, so it must be used with care and only as a last resort when other troubleshooting steps have failed.
