No worries — this is a common issue! Here's how to fix it:

✅ What Likely Happened:
Even though you changed your name, Steam friends might still see the old one because it’s cached (saved locally) on their side.

🛠️ Here’s What You Can Try:
You already changed your name — that’s step one done!

Just make sure you changed your Profile Name, not your account name (which can't be changed).

Ask your friend to do this:

Go to their Friends List

Right-click your name

Click “Manage” > “Clear Nickname” (or Edit Nickname and delete it)

Steam allows friends to set custom nicknames for each other — your friend may still be seeing one they accidentally saved.

Restart Steam (just to refresh things)
