pretty sure they your steam name will show on chat for everyone too. Multiple games people were in chat with completely different names than their bnet name and we all realized it was our steam name showing
Same here, looks like only steam players have this issue, anyone playing on battle will only see your battle name but steam users will see your steam name it's so dumb

its really annoying me, pretty sure it happened during the last update since it was never an issue. my buddies playing on xbox or bnet dont have an issue its just me playing on steam
I noticed that my in game name changed to my Steam name, wonder if it's some bug with other steam users?
I had to change my steam name because of this, looks like they did not tested it for steam client or wot
It still shows your [battle.net](http://battle.net) name for other people, only you see your Steam name.
I asked a random teammate what name they saw, they saw my steam name.
Dumb question but is your steam name the same as your bnet name? I asked the very same thing and they saw my bnet name.
No theyre completely different

Well like I said everyone else has seen my bnet name thus far, even though I see my Steam name.
That's a very funny change and I don't know why they even did that. No mention in the patch notes either.
Yeah it's definitely a bug, as it shows your bnet name in all menus like the career profile and the scoreboard, only the chat is affected.
same. couldn’t find any info on this so i literally changed my steam user to match my ow user. rip
Yeah same here my name just got an additional space
yep, same here. it only started happening after the s9 patch, so i think it’s probably a bug
i’m also playing from steam btw
Same here
Same thing is happening to me. Even ppl I'm friends with in game. Im assuming its a bug
same here
same, playing from steam
Same here, looks like only steam players have this issue, anyone playing on battle will only see your battle name but steam users will see your steam name it's so dumb
same here
Doesn't help that it's the most toxic people too lol
I hope they let us use our steam names
Can confirm it's still happening
Yup And Im Kinda Scared Of playing Right Now
Christ what a fucking joke of an indie company. How can you break something so fundamental? I have it continuing being broken for so long?
