Meshuggah (DayZ) 2 Posted July 18, 2012 When I install the new patch and try to join a server through Six Launcher I get a battle eye error that says "Bad player name". Anybody else get this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tkunne 1 Posted July 18, 2012 Jep, got that to, my ingame name is just Michael, don't see how that can be a bad player name. Played yesterday without a problem..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikey182 3 Posted July 18, 2012 Ive got this problem too. Mine is "mike"I played yesterday without a problem (After trying for an hour to find a server that worked that is).I know this is alpha - The in game bugs are understandable. But the getting down to playing this game takes the absolute biscuit. Which is a shame as the game is interesting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WraithTR1 0 Posted July 18, 2012 I had to launch the game out side of the DayZ mod, and in the settings there was a place to put in the name you wanted to use, sorry don't have access to the game right now to say exactly where it was. Once I did that got rid of that annoying issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Meshuggah (DayZ) 2 Posted July 18, 2012 Yepp. I can confirm that this works. Just go into arma operation arrowhead on steam and make a new profile. This will not delete your stuff and I now look like a zombie :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

exciniscineris 32 Posted July 18, 2012 I've seen a lot of people reporting this lately, i'm not 100% sure but I think its a problem with a six launcher update? or at least that's what I've been hearing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dima88 0 Posted July 18, 2012 What helped me:Start normal Arma OA and make a New Profile (dont erase old One) and select it. Close, Start DayZ.Worked for me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M O N S T E R 599 Posted July 18, 2012 The reason your name is bad is because your creativity is on par with the difference between falling from a crane and falling from a lighthouse.-MONSTER Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Disgraced 1123 Posted July 18, 2012 What's the player name?A lot of players are trying things where their name turns into a blank when they connect, or are using unusual characters.Use regular, basic characters and I'm sure it will go away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DreamerBrian 7 Posted July 18, 2012 I can confirm that this works as well. Thanks for the help! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
