Introversion

Hi,

my Steam Version of Multiwinia always resets the Player Name to NewPlayer.

I already tried to find a solution here inside the forums but did not find anything useful.

Also the steampowered forums did not help me here.

Non of my files are set to read only.

Dose anyone have the same issue? Or a solution how to fix it?

Best MMX

I'm gonna assume you know how to get to the Multiwinia folder.

Open preferences.txt

find a line like this:
Change NewPlayer to whatever you want.

Thanks for your reply.

Though I tried that before a few times.
Just verified it again to see if it is fixed now.

1. Checked Player Name inside Multiwinia and is again or still NewPlayer; exited Multiwinia
2. Set my Player Name inside the preferences.txt to "166_MMX.TVR" without quotes; saved and closed the file
3. Checked Player Name inside Multiwinia and is again or still NewPlayer

Inside the preferences.txt the variable was set to NewPlayer too.

Maybe its related to the dot inside the name.

Maybe. I'll try it
You can always give up your dot.

Edit: Okay, weird... maybe it's the _? did you try using a space instead?

Okay I finally was able to locate the issue.

It's because my nick name starts with a number instead of alpha character.

I guess it's trying to interpret the value as a number but not as a string.

Having a underscore or dot inside the name is fine. Only tested it in the middle of alpha characters.

Nice job, brother!

Thanks

Now I only hope this bug report will bee seen by the developers, so that the bug gets fixed.

I would like to use my full name inside the game and not having it to set it every time I start the game.

Have you tried putting the name in with "" in the txt? I doubt it will work, but you can give it a shot

Yes i did, the quotes are then also in my name
