Question about using 2 computers.

Recommended Posts

Im 15 and my parents are divorced so I only play DayZ at my dads. But when SA comes out I am going to buy it off steam and download it and my dads and then at my moms I will go on Steam and download SA there off same steam account. So once I do so when I play will I be using the same player on both computers or will I have a different player on each computer?

And no, just because Im 15 and play doesnt mean Im a complete panzy.

You will have the same ID on each copy of the game since it's on the same steam account. Yes, you will have the same character on both computers.

I believe you'll be able to use the same account since it'll be Steam dependent or if DayZ requires an actual account for you to create since it's going for an MMO-Survival style game type. Using a different computer shouldn't matter.

Hello there

Whereveer you log on to your steam account you will be able to play. But you'll only be able to play at one place. ie your dad cant log on and play on the same account while you play at your mums.

Lastly, your last sentence makes no sense to me. How does being 15 = a "panzy". I'm 43 and i'm not a pansy, although I do get weepy if animals get hurt in films.

Ok thanks. A guy on my server I play on sais I'm too young I later killed him and he called me a panzy many times for no reason. He needed to grow up.

1 steam account, one key, same character.

And by the way, Lok, your responses always make me laugh.

Thats so true so I went to his recent posts and laughed at all of them. Especially this:

Will they be left in the Chernarus + map though? It is frustrating seeing all that lovely edible grum and ones not able to scoff it.

There's a moth on my screen btw. > < Just there.

Anyhoo crops pl0x.

i have a slightly similar but different question

currently on the mod, you can go to the menu and have 2 player profiles (or more), for example, mine, and my brothers. it doesnt allow us to have a unique character on the same server. but it does allow us to have different names, looks etc so we can play as different characters, as long as we are on different servers...

so will standalone allow for more than 1 profile on the same account. I share a PC with my brother at the minute and dont wanna have to buy the game twice

Hello there

"legally" you have to have a copy of the game for each "seat" or person using the software. So, If two of you play, you really need two copies. But the game may handle more than one profile so if you don't tell anyone you might each be able to play with a unique char, but not at the same time. I might be wrong though anyhoo shhhh!

If you want to play at the same time 2 copies are needed.
