Standard-Profile name

[Killah92 0]

Hello,

it's really annoying that Arma 3 always uses my real name as standard profile name. I can create a new profile, but where the hell does arma create my standard profile from? It can not be deleted, because delete is greyed out. Where can I change the name?

iirc Arma 3 picks your PC/admin name as the default one, maybe from registry since changing PC or admin name doesn't change the in-game name on reinstall.

 

So no, you can't delete that profile or change it. In main menu just create a new profile and use it from now on.

Profile related startup parameters, parameters section in Arma 3 Launcher.

 

Basically, what you want to do is create a folder with your desired alias and load it via either shortcut startup parameters or launcher parameters.

 

 

For example, create a folder in following location:

"C:\Bohemia Interactive\Arma 3\Profiles\Users\CustomName"

 

Then for shortcut method use a batch (.bat) file containing:

@ECHO OFF

REM Arma III
CD C:\Games\Steam\SteamApps\Common\Arma 3
START arma3_x64.exe "-profiles=C:\Bohemia Interactive\Arma 3\Profiles" "-name=CustomName" "-noSplash" "-skipIntro"

EXIT

Obviously, for CD line, you have to use the location where you installed Arma 3.

 

For Launcher method, in parameters section you define a path and then select the folder in drop-down list.
