Factorio Forums

Greetings!


First of all, I apologize for not checking, whether this has a fix or not, since I had no idea, how to Google this.


I tried to play Factorio with my girlfriend (Renephias), on Steam. We went to the game, she created a map, I tried to join...

Then she got some kind of an error. Soon after that we noticed she plays with my Steam nickname.

It seems that Steam or Factorio thinks that she is me. Her character is called Damaskox, when she is logged in her own Steam.

Things we have tried this far:
- We logged out from Steam
- She deleted Factorio and reinstalled it from Steam
- We both rebooted ou computers

No help of this so far.
She tried another game on Steam. It showed herself correctly, so this may be only about Factorio.


So, any suggestions?

Done.
Let's see, how it goes.

Edit: The responded and we got it fixed.

About the fix:
I went in our Factorio directories, opened player-data.json and changed something there.

Before: "service-username": "Damaskox",
After: "service-username": "",

This change asks you to login (again), when you attempt for Multiplayer and/or mods in-game.
