I've enabled the experimental beta on steam to download the update (from 0.12.26 to 27), it reset the multiplayer username in options->other.

FWIW, I had my username and MP server reset multiple times on 0.12.26 without an update... never got around to reporting it.

Were you playing on multiple computers from the same Steam account? It might have something to do with Steam Cloud.

No, I only have factorio installed on one computer.
The previous update (25 to 26) also reset the name. Maybe you included the config file in updates?

The multiplayer username is not saved in config, but in player-data.json

Are you using the steam version?

I've had the same issue with steam. Steam's cloudsync seems to delete your player-data whenver there is an update or you add/remove mods in the mods folder. If you disable cloudsync it won't reset it.

I haven't managed to reproduce this issue, is it still happening? It seems like a steam cloud issue, more than a factorio issue. Moving to pending.

It just happened again 2 times in a row out of nowhere - after restarting the game the name was removed. All other settings are unchanged.
