  When playing on a server, your character name currently displays as your Steam ID. IT would be cool if it could be the character name instead

  When accessing the map our Steam name is shown. Can we get the option to make this show player names instead to make it easier to tell who is who? Or an option to hide/anonymize the names?

  A simple suggestion to show your in-game character name as opposed to your steam name when playing co-op with friends for greater immersion.

  It would be nice for immersion if the server had an option to show character names instead of Steam handle.

  The name I gave my character does not show in game, Steam name does. Please change to Character name.

  When I play co-op with my friend my name isn't even my steam name. It is the nickname my friend has for me on his end.

  I was wondering where this option was in the game, I guess it just doesn't exist.

  Can we have this? I mean: you normally chose a character name for a reason. Showing the steam name (or only the steam name) does not really make sense for me, if you are playing with your community or friends.

  Add this with an option to also show Steam user.

  Or at least have there be an option in the settings. Seeing your friends' characters with their Steam id over their heads just looks kind of weird. Showing the actual character's names would look SO MUCH better.

  We name characters so that we can identify them and keep them unique. It breaks immersion to see "TimmySlayer1234" Steam name on the character that you'd really like to just know as Kelly.

  I really want my characters name shown. Have my User Name somewhere else.
  
  I also would like to see the name of the server/world while in-game. Where is it?

  I don't know how but my literal real life ID is showing when I am playing with my friend. Instead of my selected character name or even steam ID. Anything other than that would work.

  This is a REAL problem for content creation. Many ppl don't want their actual steam name put out there. Some ppl don't even like it showing up on community servers in game.
