Playing Dayz with friend, on the same game purchase?

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

My friend wants to play Dayz too, but he doesn't wanna pay for Arma 2: Co.

So I had this idea.. I've let him install Arma 2 and Arma 2: Operation, and install Dayz o;

When he logs in, he actually logs in on MY character. And we can on the same times, when we're in different servers. Otherwise one of us is getting kicked.

By the way, we are playing on the same IP, since he always brings his laptop to my house to game together.

(Could this be the problem? Do dayz-characters get saved based on IP?)

Thanks in advance!

Your character and progression are tied to your cd-key, so no.

Just tell him to buy OA and get ArmA 2 free.

Thanks for the quick replies guys.

He downloaded Arma2 free though, so I suppose that the character is tied to Arma 2: Operation?

You need the files from both games to make it work the game runs through combined ops which means it uses both repository's your character is tied to your CD key ...

Yep you need an Operation Arrowhead key, that's why you can play with ArmA 2 free.

It's a bit complicated to get it to run but just google it and you should find a guide.

Alright thank you.

I play with Arma 2 free also, but it was very easy to get it run. I just installed Arma 2, bought OA and installed it, then installed Dayzmod Sixlauncher and it worked :D
