Playing Conan and changed my in game name while logged in game. Played another 3 hours then logged out. Got the above message when trying to log in. I’ve tried changing steam name to match but nothing works. I am locked out. My steam name is zihera was playing that name the went into a mod to change character and changed the name to Yamanu. Once I logged I could not get back in. I even changed my steam name to match and it didn’t help

Do you have symbols or special characters in your steam name?
