Hello Everybody! I have played Dayz on the same computer with two different steam accounts. Until two days ago, I was able to sign off one char on steam acct#1 and play a completely different character on steam acct #2 (still using the same computer). Switched back and forth as many times as I liked on my same computer. Now, both steam accounts (again, each with a bought version of Dayz) will only load the same one character!?!?! How could this be? I thought each character was associated with each paid steam account, not on the computer itself. I was doing it just fine for a month before this started happening. Another odd thing, I noticed that in my DOCUMENTS/Dayz folder. It creates a new playerPROFILE & VAR file. Both steam account seems to be "sharing it" even though they should load their respective characters. Previously DOCUMENTS/Dayz other profiles folder contained the unique names of each of my steams chars... Has that changed? Any help would be nice. I'm not sure what changed from a couple days ago till tonight.

I'm glad this has some merit. Its nice to help people who are batshit agngry... Having a user for each of my steam accounts pretty much fixed it. Even having just a basic user account on my windows 7 setting only allowed the first steam's account char loaded to be the only one playable (even if i tried to login to my other steam account). So now I have to log in and out of the users to play for a specific steam account. Kinda sucks... It all has to do with the fact that the player profile and VARS files is held in the DAYZ folder rather than switching between the various files in DAYZ other profiles (which is probably no more). I did not submit this to the bug report, because I had trouble figuring it out.

Thanks for all the replies. Its my first time posting on forums... The admin account issue is most likely the problem. Will see if that fixes it.
