Issue: Duplicate player and Custom Node Names
winderine|5/14/2026
Palia MapThis was definitely solved before, but has occurred again. I don't know how long this has been the case, but the user is showing up as a "Other Player" node and custom nodes aren't showing their names.

Oh yeah, I'd been noticing a phantom "other player" marker dogging my steps also
Please check again @Ren fyi
Still here for me after closing the game and closing/restarting the companion app. Let me know if I should try a full PC restart

@Dusk was experiencing this also: discord.com/channels/320539672663031818/1148606731010723900/1509254370183876730 (I've also had the "discovered other player" issue)
Looks like the fix was not correctly deployed - can you check again?
closed the game, closed and restarted the companion app, opened the game again, same result unfortunately...

check again please
No sir...

Let me try a PC restart and see if that helps
It's THGLApp right?
8.1.4 is the latest version
Hmmm mine is stuck on 8.1.2 for some reason, so yes, trying a restart...
wait
*waits*
now
8.1.5
8.1.5 on deck post-restart, and no phantom Other Player :)
Thx!
