@wildinferno That's not a bug, it's a feature. Player names are protected by the player token - They wiped GameData/DarkMultiPlayer/Plugins/Data/token.txt and saves/DarkMultiPlayer/token.txt.

I believe this was fixed via 6d7bcd7.

Does your KSP path or your Windows user name have special characters? That sometimes causes quirks with folder-related stuff.

This can only be caused by funny characters in the player name - I'm renaming this to what it really is ;)

The colon : is definitely an example of this.

I'll need to prevent invalid player names from connecting to servers.
