OG_FC Posted December 2, 2018 Posted December 2, 2018 Got BOS through Steam,my name in game that I see is player 123etc. Tried linking my steam account I guess you have to do that to change your name in game? But every time I try to link the accounts it tells me I have the wrong user name or password. Not sure what password there asking Steam, this site, some where on Mars? Seems a little more than easy, to accomplish such a simple task. Any Help would be greatly Appr.
Hursty Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 I've got a non-steam BoS and have same issue, cannot change name …...
Hursty Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 Ahh … found it. To change your name login here and change it: https://il2sturmovik.com/account/
OG_FC Posted December 10, 2018 Author Posted December 10, 2018 Thank You Hursty but I am already logged in with this account I can"t change the Player name 123etc. it shows when I fly? When I try to link accounts thru steam it always gives me error message 4 wrong user name or Password. I think I might have to change my account name here to 123456 or something Crazy stuff just to get my name right in game I don't use icons anyway once I get use to the Game ,still a newbie with this sim... ~S
Herne Posted December 11, 2018 Posted December 11, 2018 Hi 51st _FC Make sure that the game is not launched. Then adjust your account settings as seen below. Once applied launch the game and you should see your new name in the game logs / stats
OG_FC Posted December 11, 2018 Author Posted December 11, 2018 Thank You Again for all your Help, Trying that Now. Will it make any difference that I bought the game through Steam, I see all the Versions of the Game you own are listed under your Avatar ? Sorry if these seem like stupid questions, Again. Thank you

Thank you no it should make no difference that you own the game on steam, I do too. The badges I have on the avatar are a perk for pre - orders. I also purchased Battle of Moscow but it does no show up because I did not pre - order. Edit: You may be required to link your steam account with the game account if you have not already done so. Not sure about this though, but if you play the game through steam as I do then I would suggest it is worth doing if you have not done so already Edited December 11, 2018 by =11=Herne
OG_FC Posted December 11, 2018 Author Posted December 11, 2018 I tried again to link my accounts same thing message 4 wrong username or password. I am not so much worried about the user name I want to buy BOBP but I have to have Bos installed if I can't link the two accounts how will I be able to Fly BOBP? I changed my password again on this site but again it says wrong user name or Password/ I changed the password on steam again #4. I have never been known as a rocket scientist, but I am not stupid either, just an old IL2 Guy who wants to fly the jug again... Thank you for taking time to try and help me not sure what I should do. But I do appr. your kindness trying to help out. ~FC
Herne Posted December 11, 2018 Posted December 11, 2018 You can log a support ticket through the website. It might take them a few days to get back to you, but they should be able to sort it out for you. Hope it all gets sorted out for you soon.

I don't talk about the login of Steam! Make really sure that: - Your e-mail address is the same you use for login into the game AND login into the main IL2 STURMOVIK homepage here If you have two different login names (e-mails) then you won't be able to link your two accounts. Cheers 1
OG_FC Posted December 11, 2018 Author Posted December 11, 2018 Thank You my account name on steam is different than the one here, in game user name in steam is the same as here. I guess I need to create a new account here with what I use to log into Steam. Thank you Very Much.

Hold on - when you talk about log into Steam, you actually mean when you log into IL2 Great Battles launched through Steam, correct? Login infos of Steam (Steam as interface per se!) has absolutely nothing to do with the login of IL2 - just to clarify.
OG_FC Posted December 11, 2018 Author Posted December 11, 2018 Thank you for clarifying that, I guess I need to start a support ticket or something I don't want to buy BOBP until I am sure I will be able to fly it, with my friends that have it already.. Thank You again I just sent a support ticket to the Dev's hope they get back to me pretty quickly or not I guess. I am an old USAF Crew Chief I have a special place for the P-47 it is one of my Favorite Planes flew it for 13 years daily in IL246, spent many a day on war clouds Boomin & Zoomin and on the deck poundin the Ground. Can't hardly wait to get it up and going again in BOBP. Thank you for all your time and help ~S FC.
OG_FC Posted December 12, 2018 Author Posted December 12, 2018 Just a heads up for anyone that has the same issue/ 1C sent me a reply this Morning to fix the issue very Impressive Indeed.
Herne Posted December 12, 2018 Posted December 12, 2018 So you are all sorted now ? See you in the skies o7
SR603-Floppsy Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 (edited) I have the same problem. How do I fix it. Or maybe I need to contact support as well. Thanks for any help. It is very frustrating. I just bought Stalingrad, Kuban and Bodenplatte but wanted to change my pilot name from player-12345 to something else. I was told I needed to do this via my il2 account but it will not accept my login during the link process. Edited October 28, 2020 by SR603-Stinger
DD_Crash Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 The old way in the original Il-2 was the easiest way. Start the game and change your name after the game has loaded from the main screen. Why after logging in you can't have different pilot names is a mystery to me.
