[0.17.42] Shown player name doesn't update when opening another users save.

Post by jkgamer2000 »

So I downloaded a map created by another player and then loaded it.
I noticed that the minimap and "last used by" name was the other player's name and not mine, even though I would have expected it to show my name.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Download this save: https://redmew.com/saves?directory=publ ... -05-23.zip (Redmew Diggy SP variant)
2. Open it as you would open any single player save file (play->load game).
3. Open minimap, turn on player names and notice the player name that is not yours.

Thanks for the report. That's working as intended: the name is in the save file and not related to what your current local settings are.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
