    It's matching my Steam user's name, but I want to use a different name ingame... is it possible?

    Cheers!

    I don't think it is possible right now. The in-game name is tight to your Steam name.

    Any idea when this is going to be available, it is ridiculous for multiplayer that you cannot set your own name without changing it in steamo_O

    What name would you prefer instead?
    Is it something with "Super..." from the movie world or what?

    ByTheWay: Just guessing:)

    I know this thread is old and I can't be sure if you were just kidding about the subject or not, but some leagues including the racing clubs on Race Department (Which is happening to be a partner community very close to Reiza for a long time now, figures) and some communities on simracing.gp, to cite two examples, demands your in game name to be the same as the one you use in said communities or, in the case of Race Department and other leagues, to be your real name as a requisite to participate in multiplayer events.

    To make it clear then Im not JUST kidding in my comments above.
    But eventhough I keep a humorous tone in my comments about this - then Im 100% against that people use one name in game and another name in related forum(s) and then often a complete other name in Steam.:rolleyes:
    But I guess that its because people are paranoic afraid that other users could be able to reveal how lousy they drive - by checking their name out on different Leaderboards.;)

    Since AMS2 runs perfectly in game sharing mode in steam, you could, like me, simply use different steam accounts for multiple personalities. Works for quite lot of racing games. You can change the steam display name at any time to your liking on all accounts.
    im Project C.A.R.S. 2 this could be used to bump your MP-rating in a very fast way and in turn, made the MP-rating system absolutely meaningless, except for the license rating.

    bump, still not a thing

    running a league and having names like yoloSwagTron9000 racing looks moronic

    This is a rather new feature and did not work that way when this thread was started more than 2 years ago.

    this is an old feature, coming from pCARS2, and was introduced in AMS2 about 8 months ago.
    But it has no relevance for MP.
    This ingame names are not transfered in the MP protocol, there they exclusively use the steam ID to decode names directly from Steam

    Albeit, you can change your steam name all day long.
