Hey,

Is there any chance we'll be able to change this in the future? I didn't realise that this callsign would be the one tied to our paradox accounts and multiplayer, figured it was for single player, and just threw a quick name in for the craic.

Slightly annoying that I'm stuck with it now... still, a minor complain for what's been a solid launch of, so far anyway, a fantastic game :D

Harebrained Schemes is fast becoming one of my favourite developers! Can't wait to see what they do next (more Shadowrun please!)

I would also like to know this since I did the same thing, not seeing anything stating it was going to be for those purposes. I also assumed it was for single player; I would have used something far different had it mentioned something.

Same thing happened to me!

Same for me. Thought I was picking a Callsign for single player campaign; got an error; put in a generic name to debug the issue and, yeah, now it seems I am stuck with it

I did the exact same thing. Thought it was tied to single player callsign. Would be nice if they let you know that the Callsign was actually for Multiplayer identification so I would have know to enter my usual multiplayer game name I like to use. Maybe instead of calling it just a callsign have it listed as Callsign (Online Player ID). Just a thought.

At the very least I'm glad I'm not the only one who did this haha. I ended up creating another Paradox account because I didn't want to risk progressing too far on a name I would possibly not be able to change, but the game should definitely clarify this.

I asked the support of the paradox, they told me that there is no way we can change ourselves, but if you talk to the support they change for you.

Yeah, I submitted a Support ticket to get it changed and included in the ticket what I wanted it changed to. They had it changed within a day. While I do think the game should make it clearer what that Callsign is for (Online/Multiplayer ID) I do appreciate the quick turn around Paradox's support team did on fixing my Callsign.
