6 months my azz, this problem only showed up when people linked accounts, which isn't even a month old yet, and it's going to happen to everyone who has a different cryptic and PWE username.
Excuse me? It HAS been around for over 6 months and that is a FACT. But it was fun watching you insert your foot in your mouth. It has indeed been happening since the game went F2P. I HAVE reported it multiple times way longer than any 1 month that you state. I am still waiting for even a reply from Cryptic or PWE. In fact I have a ticket open on it right now. I'm still waiting for a reply on that one too.
And I'm old, not dead.
If your're so smart how come you don't own everything?

I have this issue and it's ridiculously annoying. I've lost count of the number of times it's lead to logging in being bungled because I forget that STO is changing the username to the wrong name.
It doesn't surprise me that this hasn't been resolved yet because on one of my alt characters where I cannot drop an item which stayed in my inventory after completing a mission which cannot be droped and has been there for a year now.
I don't think it's install specific. I've logged in on a friend's machine and when I log out to log into another toon it still uses my old Cryptic login rather than my new PWE login. I think the game code just hasn't been updated.
I'd rather they just got rid of the in-game re-login screen and made it so you could switch toons w/o having to log out and log back in, just select the other character and switch. The only time you should have to log back in is if you wanted to in some way AFFECT the account like deleting a character, adding a character or renaming a character, etc.
This isn't just a "small amount of people have it" issue. This is everyone that has a different cryptic account name.
They know about it I'm sure and as far as I know there is no local registery edit doable to change it to work properly.
