multiple cd-keys + DLC

[Azrail (DayZ) 211]

i have this problem:

i use 3 different cd keys to switch characters.

i used 3 steam accounts to buy Arma 2,

one to buy one copy of ArmA 2 CO + BAF + PMC

two to buy two additional copies of ArmA 2 OA.

now, when i switch between keys, i get this error

if i now delete the folders BAF + PMC and run DLCSetup\BAF\datacachepreprocessor.exe,

it installs both DLC's and then loads the game.

i can load the game fine from that point on, until i switch to another cd key.

is there any way to simplify this?

Yes...stop using 3 keys to play DayZ. Like seriously...what reason do you have for having 3 CDkeys, aside from abusing the game? Ones a Bandit, ones a Hero? Maybe you just humanity boost with all three? Dup items?

Seriously...thes best way to simplify this is to just use one key.

I guess after switchign keys in registry or whatever the fuck you have to do for this shit...try to verify files.

Jumping the gun here, aren't we?

i ask for help and already get accused for cheating and abusing the game,

what did i think when i made this post?

ok, while we already at it, lets give this a try.

to make it easy for you, here are some examples:

one for tactical squad play, one for playing with newbs, one to just fuck around with and do fun stuff.

well basically that's my setup, and it works like that for quite a while now.

but i would appreciate if i could use my BAF & PMC DLC for all three characters, without having to

reinstall them everytime.

i don't care if you like it or not, i know that i play this game legit, and mostlikely more hardcore then you do.

unless you want to contribute anything useful to this topic, like a solution to my problem,

gtfo please. thank you very much.

You could make 2 additional copies of the game directory, each with a different baf/pmc install :]

thats actually a sweet idea, install the DLC, rename the DLC folders, then install again for the other characters.

then i only have to rename those folders when switching characters, gonna make me a batchfile to import

registry keys & rename folders. i will post again if this one succeeded.
