tandwan 250 Posted April 26, 2013 I have noticed people who have had multiple DayZ characters which they swap between. They may have one character in one area and another in another area. Now I know this involves multple CD's but is it just as simple as having a completely new Steam and a new CD key installed on that or what? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Allyourbase51 38 Posted April 26, 2013 (edited) What is the purpose of this inquiry?^ This, why do you want to do that?Regardless, the simplest way to do it would probably be to modify the registry with your different keys in order to "swap" between the "accounts." I will not tell you how to do this, if you really want to, there are resources to be found elsewhere. I believe that you might have to have the multiple keys under different accounts for that to work, however, due to the fact that i'm not sure whether or not you can actually have multiple CD keys associated with the same Steam account.

tandwan 250 Posted April 26, 2013 Yes, Sacriel was the reason I had this idea as he has multiple characters in a certain area for his stream. The idea sounded legit enough to gear out multiple characters so you could just stay in the action longer. I am less tech savy then him and was wondering if using various forms of steam would be the way to do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steak and Potatoes 13480 Posted April 26, 2013 ^ This, why do you want to do that?Because if he wished to change his name he could simply go to player profile, however if he is inquiring about mutliple GUID's I'm curious as to what one would need them for.

I am less tech savy then him and was wondering if using various forms of steam would be the way to do it.The best way to be sure, i suppose, is to tell you that "Google is your friend," and leave it at that.Because if he wished to change his name he could simply go to player profile, however if he is inquiring about mutliple GUID's I'm curious as to what one would need them for.Stated reason is that he wants to have multiple characters that he can gear out in the same area, idk how i feel about that, though. If both/all of the keys are legitimate, he's fully within his bounds to do this, but i feel it is in an ethical grey area i'd rather not delve into.

Fraggle (DayZ) 15720 Posted April 26, 2013 Locked. I didn't see any flaming though :/. Just legitimate concerns over peeps using multiple GUIDs. Oh well. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
