[solved] Change username => can't login anymore

Postby Frolic » 04 Mar 2012, 13:37

Hello,

First of all, congratulation for all the good work on FAF ! I just discovered it and it is really amazing ! 8-)


Today, I tried to change my nickname, as stated in this post : viewtopic.php?f=2&t=713&start=0

The problem is : now, i can't connect to the lobby anymore. The lobby still try to log me in with my previous nickname. So the error is obvious : wrong nickname.
However, there is no login window where I could change my previous nickname to my new nickname, so i am stuck !

Any idea how to solve this please ?

Problem solved.

I searched for the place where the nickname is saved.
I found it in the windows registry.

For those who have the same problem :

- windows key+R : type "regedit"
- CTRL+F : search for your old nickname
- When its found : right click on it, "change value", and type your new nickname.


However, it is the "dirty" way...
A proper solution would be : when the FAF lobby find a login error, a login window should appear !

this is an autologin problem actually : It doesn't pop the login windows back if it fails.
