✅ Works in Multiplayer
Here's how it works:
- Toggle Relay... — your styled name is shown to everyone automatically, no extra setup needed. - Toggle Relay... — Descriptive will ask if you want to connect to an external relay server so other Descriptive users can still see your name. Toggle Relay..., you can enable this function in the Toggle Relay... > Toggle Relay... Menu.
