Hello,

how exactly did you change the name of the profile? Did you do it in game or you renamed files or folders in the Arma 3 or Arma 3 - Other Profiles?

Hi

I change the name in-game, yesterday the old name was back as a new profile every time I started arma
but today it now works as expected the computer has been switch of during both nights

I tried to reproduce by changing name back and forth but I do not manage to get the fault again
The old name had an '<' in the name and I did notice some file with name was in the profile folder.

But even after I had removed profile files it was created again, I do not know if there could be some
cloud sync thing or something (but arma is not indicated to use that in steam)

but now it works and I do not manage to get the behavior back (so far at least)

Could be that the Profile under Parameters->Favorites had the old name set?

I noticed it now, the tick box enable but now the selection is blank

I do not know what it previous was but the list also contains one of my test
name during renaming test but that has been deleted

and when I select the deleted name, a new profile is created when game is started

something fishy must have happen, the old name was somehow still in list
and each time I started arma the profile was created.
