Team Fortress 2 name change


There is a problem with trying to change yourname in Team Fortress 2. To Change your name in Team Fortress 2 you just need to enable the console. I have been having this problem down in AREA51 and in the end its really easy to fix.  Valve has tied the whole name change thing into the Steam friends section which sucks. Anyone who knows Steam Friends, especially if you’re a Steam Cafe owner,knows how painful it is. The Steam friends login just doesn’t seem to work.

A quick work around for this is to go into console and type:

setinfo name Kiwi 

Just replace Kiwi with whatever your gaming name is. I think you will have to do this at the start of each level change, but hey it’s better than been called ‘unknown’
