Dayz "kicked off game" A little different then normal though..

[matteater 0]

okay so ive been playing dayz for awhile now and never had any porblems. Recently i got the message "cd key in use". I fixed that and have been playing okay until just recently. My friend got his own server and we were playing on it for a couple hours. I disconnected and came back to the message "kicked off game" it does this everytime i try to join. I reinstalled, checked the verfication and all that other stuff that is suggested.

Now the weird part is that i am infact able to join, but only when my buddy isnt in the server, (him being the server owner). When i join when he isnt in the server im in his charcaterm with all his gear, where he disconnected at but with my name. When he tried joining while i was in he was getting the cd key in use message.

We compared are cd keys and they are completely different! I do not know what to do and all i want is to play some dayz!!! Please help. Thank you.

btw. i get cd key in use for every other server i try to join as well while he is on.

It sounds like you are using the same CD Key. Run OA as admin to ensure the one in your registry is the one for your copy of OA.

your buddy playing you over, send ticket to battleeye with proof that you are the real owner and that he has the cd key too.

Do you both use the same IP address to play online.

no we both bought the game seperately, we found out what it is... we have the same player id? but im confused because we always play together and this has never happened before
