Changing name on Steam Version

Post by Heike Steyer »

Hey guys, I have both Disc and Steam versions of Owar (I got the steam one incase anything happened to discs) but currently only have the disc version installed. When i enter a lobby I am unable to change my name and it is locked as my Steam account name. I know this sounds a bit trivial and isn't a major issue but I was just wondering if there was a way to change it? Thanks!

If you have OW in Steam and start OW from CD, when OW gets your nick from Steam.

I know that yes but is there anyway to stop this from happening?

Nevermind, I found a solution. I just had to delete some of the steam files that were in the game folder..
