[SOLVED] FS17 Character name getting changed creating new career

Post by WolfmoonCT »

- PC/Mac/PS4/XB1: PC
- Vehicle/Tool/Model/Object: N/A
- Issue: Char name gets changed
- Single- or Multiplayer: Single
- Steps to reproduce: Tried creating new carrer multiple times
- Does it happen on a standard map without mods yes/no : yes

Trying to create a new career single player normal difficulty. Before any mods are chosen. When its asking if the char is male or female, and the name. I want it to be female and named Katie after my wife. I type in Katie click change name and it changes it to Ka!ie. Kate works, but not Katie.

Hi WolfmoonCT!

This is happening due to our censoring filter in our textbos there - not sure what exactly it is why the name is being censored. Maybe part of the word Katie throws some red flags in another language perhaps? For now, please go with another username - I'm sorry, it's currently not possible otherwise.

Cheers!

Ok..
I found the career save .xml file and edited the player name to Katie and it saved it and kept it. So I guess it's a work around.
