"Admin" bug

Recommended Posts

I've been playing DayZ for a while now, but this bug just popped up recently. My ingame name is usually "Robert," but it is now appearing as "Admin." The name will not change, nor does it give me admin powers. It is present through all servers, and nothing I have tried is making it go away. It does not actually impede gameplay other than making players ask me for help and occasionally having a real admin ban me for impersonation. This is getting on my nerves, and apparently, nobody else has this problem, or I am the only one dumb enough not to find a solution. Help!

You have gone to the main menu > player profile and created a new profile right?

The game uses your windows username for the default profile, so if you are logged in as Admin on your computer you would have that name.

I am playing on a new profile, actually. Neither am I playing as admin on my computer.
