Puffy 64 Posted June 23, 2012 Whenever I go into the character creation and create a new character, I try to click on the "PLAYER 1" in the character name slot. Nothing happens. I've been playing on servers as PLAYER 1 for hours now because I can't type in the player name field. Any idea why guys? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gregblast 0 Posted August 17, 2012 (edited) Got the same problem here...@TV.: your link leads nowhere, just a 'File not found.' page.@salty: can you read the posts before replying with nonsense ?@Whiteshadow197: if you go to your 'arma 2 operation arrowhead' and remove your 'PLAYER%201.ArmA2OAProfile' file (or other ueseless profiles) the game will create one with your Windows name automatically. Not the best of course but that's already better maybe. Adding other profile files by duplication and rename doesn't work. The game doesn't take them into account (in our case). All that might be linked to a security issue... Edited August 17, 2012 by GregBlast Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gregblast 0 Posted August 17, 2012 Alright I found what the "problem" was in MY case (don't know if this is the same for you but must be somehow related). Here's what I posted on another thread here : http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/18383-help-with-my-profile-name/"Well ok it turned out to be a security problem linked to my Windows documents folder which is only accessible through VPN because it's on a server. ArmA 2 stores player info in there in an ArmA 2 folder and of course it was not accessible while I was not on the VPN. Once again the developers of the game could have taken this potential case into account and allow creation in the game folder (like they actually do with that PLAYER 1 profile or the windows name profile automatically created but not editable in-game).But they forgot about that..."

Rokochan 26 Posted August 17, 2012 use dayz commander to launch dayz under the settings tab, or launch arma2.exe. when you get to the menu screen it should be the first screen.click on "player profile" inside the profiles menu you should see your default name ( probably something windows has set for you ) there are 3~4 options.DeleteNewEditClick on new to make a new profile. After you made a new profile click ok and search for your server. after you get into a server make sure you reconfig your controls/ and settings. as they are reset to default Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
