I don't know the exact issue, but I think I have an idea of where to look: I believe there's an issue with variables used for character names. Some characters don't have names but should, some have repeated names, and some use the wrong name variable in the text.

I know you said you are a programmer (and I am not), so it seems odd that it would be this simple to solve, but... it almost seems like you have a single variable repeatedly being reassigned new values instead of a new variable being generated.

I appreciate you looking further into this! It may be a fix as simple as that, the codebase huge, so I tend to overlook things when moving on to something else, or forget to go back to tasks I meant to do later haha

I could even try to unpack the asar file, but I have zero JS experience so I'd probably just get confused :P

Though... now knowing the core is likely JS, it might be more likely an object issue than a variable issue.

You seem to be on the money:

I found a problem when NPCs are created, the code sets id but doesn't set a name variable, so it fell back to the player name instead
