User Name change in Profile

[CIA_Matabo]

I know this has been covered in the past and I read all that I could find on the topic, but no answers that are not more than a few years old.

I changed my username in my profile and saved it.  I don't see it changed when I log on to any of the Servers hosting IL2 Battle of Stalingrad.  I've done this in the past with no problem.  Is there a time limit? Is there a limit on how many times you can change your user name?  Some information on this topic would be nice.  Maybe 'Do's and Don'ts.

 

Thanks in advance

There's no limit, certainly (take temujin/boaty_mcboatface/whatever he goes by today for example) - but it often encounters a bug.

 

The solution I've found that works: change your name to something completely different than what you want, save it, and log out.  Log back in, and then change it to the desired name, this time it should save and work properly in game.

 

If not, clear your cache, clear your history, and repeat the process.

 

It's tedious, but it should fix it.

Clear what cache, what history?  Remember we are talking about a forum server and a game.  So, what cache and what history and how do you do that?

Glad it worked!  Just for the record - I was referring to clearing the cache and history in your web browser in case it was creating a conflict with the website. 

 

Cheers Metabo!

Thank you for this workaround. It worked perfectly.
