Name not changed everywhere

[FullLifeGames]

First of all, great work!

With this tool, I was able to change my last name, as I screwed up on character creation.

What is, however, still happening, is that in the main menu screen, the old name is shown.

Not that big of a deal, but would be great, if it could be changed as well.

Thanks!

Thanks for the issue. Does it show in subtitles and the character screen? The game must fetch the name from elsewhere when showing it on the main menu.

The new name appears in subtitles and the gear page for me but the old name is present on the character select screen / main menu.

Hm. I'm guessing it's fetching it from SaveGameList.sav.

That's where it fetches from. You can update it there with this workaround method.

• Back up all your saves first obviously
• Go in game and delete the character
• Create a new character with the name you want
• Exit game
• Move your backed up saves back to the save directory

I did notice by doing this you don't have the house banner either. I suppose that info is saved in that file as well along with whatever other things there are in that banner. I would guess the workaround for that is to go far enough in game to select your house and then replace the save with your backed up file.

I went to test this but of course the game is updating now and I have slow internet. But what happens if you change the name to something censored like Janusz (Swedish name but contains an English word that may not be allowed)

I will test as soon as my game updates, but looks like a 4 hours wait at this point.

EDIT:
My game updated much sooner than I thought! After testing, I confirm it bypasses the censorship and works just fine - aside from the prev reported issue of not showing the correct name in the main menu.

Just confirmed you can do this. Play through the sorting ceremony on a new character and then you can copy your old save over and it will show the new house banner so it's not empty.
