I’m pretty sure it’s intended, if not i have the same issue.
I don’t like showing everyone my name but at the same time it feels intentional since a name on a nametag would look more “professional” than “GamerFart46” or “UnicornStrand739” idk some people have crazy usernames

I thought the whole idea is it's a public-facing Username to protect your identity? Other games will not allow you to have offensive usernames to both protect identity and prevent abuse.

I’ve seen some wild usernames online

#

Yobo the all seeing is here

I literally cannot see a username without 67 in it while playing a multiplayer game

I haven’t seen 67 ones yet

The game actually uses your meta username. That’s why it’s there. If that’s your meta username that’s gonna be your name in game.

#

I’m pretty sure to my knowledge it ignored displays names

It may be for you but it's not for me.

#

I play loads of vr games. This is the only one to display my real name

languid turret
#

Is it your display name or your actual username username?

#

Check

#

Like the name you used when you made your account

Is it your display name?

#

Just check where your real name is and change it

#

That’s not a game issue. The game just takes whatever name you have on meta and puts it in game

#

Just find where ever your name is and change it to something that’s not your real name

#

Should be in the settings somewhere

I just figured out a workaround. I still consider this a bug. My meta profile was synced with my Facebook a feature meta offer. This means you can't change your name (without changing your Facebook name, it came up with a warning when I tried). You can only change your meta username. I had to stop syncing my Facebook with my meta account then it would let me change my name to match my username.

#

There is nothing in the app that says 'display name' I can see. Just name or username

#

Unless I'm missing something for people who sync with Facebook and don't want it displaying their name per Facebook this is the only option

But this whole thing with showing your real name is not a game bug

#

All credit goes to meta

#

Gotta love meta

#

Do you have the design?

#

Depends if it's actually what they intended or not

(I hate meta)

dusk rover
#

If its as designed then agree it's not a bug

#

it's not like meta ever screws up software ever! hahahaha that'd just be crazy haha... ha...
-# ha...

languid turret
#

And your meta name happen to be your real name

#

Again, meta is stupid. Blame meta

OK I'll suggest that like every other game I play they should allow me to use a my username or a name I select
