Crazy Names display problem

When i type a new name it always only shows half it or only even the first letter? I don’t get it. :???: :???: :???: :???:

Very Clear. (not!)

If you mean that you change your name ingame using the console with the /name command, then it can be caused if you leave a apace in your name. Try changing your name in the game menu.

ive had somthing similar happen, my sn online is AMD|TheJesusZeppelin and when i play on certain servers it wont alwyas recognize the colors and or the entire name. so when i kill someone it pops up in the corner as: AMD|TheJesusZepp killed so and so
and not AMD|TheJesusZeppelin killed so and so
its not really a huge problem or anything its just kinda annoying.

Status messages only show the first 20 or so characters. This includes the ^ color codes, and using too many will cause your name to get cut off sooner.

If you are setting your name in console, make sure you surround it with quotes even if you are not using spaces. Also, if you are playing with the colors to find the one you want, delete color codes you don’t want instead of adding another afterwards. A name like ^rSilent^jAss^i^d^f^n^m^a^xassin will most likely show up as SilentAss.
