Re: Why EA Desktop display old ID?

I have this issue as well while using EA Desktop, under my current ID name it is showing an old ID name I used in the the past.  Could someone clarify which of these two names I have is gonna end up showing while in multiplayer games?

    Hi @Vichax,

    Could you please provide a screenshot of the username that is being displayed?

    There is the option in the EA app to use both your username and to set a display name. When you set a different display name, does that update the old username that you are seeing?

    Here is a screen shot showing my current name on top and a old name I do not use anymore under it.
