Simple79 1 Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) No not my windows name, my real name is in no way affiliated with my PC. It has something to do with info from my Arma account, I never gave DayZ or Dean Hall permission to that information. IDC if its the same company or not. LET ALONE TO MAKE IT MY IN GAME NAME W NO OPTION TO CHANGE! Ok, I read the post about changing it, and it works....I'd still like to know how they were able to access that information in the 1st place. I never gave it them. Or even steam for that matter.

They haven't stolen your identity or anything, same happens at me when I start Arma first time. It takes the name from your computer. YOUR FUCKIN WINDOWS USERNAME.
