Ship name is wrong when I board.

    I've bought a sloop, named it something and entered the game. Got startled by the Pirate Lord and went to my ship the Wealthy Witch.
    Wait...that's not what I named it. Why is it called that? Probably a bug, I'll leave and come back.

    I came back, got startled again, went to my ship and the banner told me it was a different name captained by someone who isn't me.

    Anyone know what's up? I figure maybe the game has a surge of players and not enough outposts to put people on but...I can't find the supposed owner of this sloop on the island so I'm just baffled.

    Do you have HUD option Replace Gamertags on, the one streamers use to not show the name of pirates on their server ? It does impact names of ships as well.

    @lem0n-curry That was it.

    I didn't even know that was a thing. Thanks for the help, I thought I was going crazy.
