Need help with startup param -name=

[Guru Bear 10]

Hello everyone, Was unsure where to post this topic but this board seems to be the best place, Anyway I'm having a little problem with -name= it works fine with 1 word names but as soon as I try for example:

-name=Guru Bear

it creates a profile called Guru and skips out anything past the space, I am guessing that there is some sort of character I should be adding there at the spaces like -name=Guru%20Bear but that also just create's a profile called Guru%Bear.

Any help would be much appreciated :)

Try with quotes?

-name="Guru Bear"

[Guru Bear 10]

Yup tried that, I just get a new profile called "Guru.

Why do you even need this?

Because I'm working on a new ArmA launcher. Almost done with it just I'm just stuck on this -name param.

Create a new account ingame. And check the naming in windows.

Yes, That is what I tried to do with Guru%20Bear as the -name param but that just creates a new profile called Guru%%20Bear...Pretty weird.

Hm hard to say. Best label it as not supported. :D

(Profile name with spaces)

Hmm I believe it is supported though as other arma launchers have managed it, I will keep looking into it anyway...

Ok I have managed to fix this issue.

For future reference for anyone who is interested i fixed it by placing the -name in quotes, similar to what deadfast mentioned but around the whole thing like

"-name=Guru Bear"
