Mr.Global 0 Posted October 29, 2013 Hello guys! I bought a new pc for myself to play dayz with my brother at home but i've been having an issue that other players already experienced before,always that i try to join the same server he's playing one of us gets connected and the other one gets kicked for no reason. i use one key of Arma2 Op arrowhead and the same steam accont as him but i play using dayz commander and playwithsix so i realy dont need to log in on steam to play. I dont know if anyone can help but i hope you guys could! TY! :D And Bohemia please try to fix this bug please. GG for everyone! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frytek 130 Posted October 29, 2013 (edited) Guess what...You cant play multiplayer on one key with your brother...And it is not a bug. It protects from piracy (kind of). Edited October 29, 2013 by Frytek Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

creature 1189 Posted October 29, 2013 Yes but other players cant even with more than one CD key False. Buy another copy of combined ops. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
callsignBravo (DayZ) 323 Posted October 29, 2013 False. Buy another copy of combined ops.yeah that would fix it, but you might also not have the bandwith you need to support two players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NagsterTheGangster 388 Posted October 29, 2013 Could be a connection issue but its more than likely the fact your trying to run two accounts simultaniously with one CD key, so buy a new ARMA 2 copy with Ops and thatll probably fix it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dancing.Russian.Man 1631 Posted October 30, 2013 It doesn't matter if you're on Steam or not.The CD key generates a GUID, which is used to identify you as the player. When your brother joins a server, the GUID for the CD key is bound to that server. (So it cannot be used by other people.)When you join your brother on the same server, that same GUID tries to bind itself to the same server for another time. That's where the problem is. The GUID can't be active in two places at once. (Or in one place twice.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mos1ey 6301 Posted October 30, 2013 (edited) Fun fact: everyone is using the same internet. And as above - you aren't being kicked for no reason, or because of a bug... You're being kicked because you're both trying to use the same key... You need to buy another copy of ArmA 2. Edited October 30, 2013 by mZLY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
