Kingllama 18 Posted May 20, 2012 How do you change your ingame char name? For some reason it chose my first name alex somehow.....even though i never put it in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dsi24 227 Posted May 20, 2012 ArmAII uses your operating system's username by default, go to profiles on the main menu to make a new one. (I assume this makes a new char for DayZ but I haven't done it myself) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kingllama 18 Posted May 21, 2012 So is there anyway or does it make a new char cause i dont want to lose my stuff on my char. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wüstenfuchs (DayZ) 105 Posted May 21, 2012 You won't lose any stuff of your character. It's not tied to your profile, it uses your game ID to identify you.Next time you create new thread please make the topic more informative.. "How do you?" doesn't tell anything about the content of this thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pack.wolf 0 Posted May 21, 2012 You should also use sixupdater or sth similar so you don't have to switch profiles every time you start the game (since it normally starts with your username-profile active and there's no way to get rid off/change it.Coincidentally, my windows username is also alex :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wasrad 42 Posted May 21, 2012 What? You dont need 6U to do that as you lstart the game with the profile you quit it with.You should also use sixupdater or sth similar so you don't have to switch profiles every time you start the game (since it normally starts with your username-profile active and there's no way to get rid off/change it.Coincidentally' date=' my windows username is also alex :D[/quote'] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
