Can I take my GUID to another machine?

[-Greenie- 12]

Hey there, 

 

I'm heading down south for a month over Christmas where my mum and dad live, he has DayZ installed on his machine and plays it. I play on my machine which is 1000 miles away but want to carry on my character while I'm away on holiday at his house, can I do that by taking my GUID or something else?

 

Cheers

You can actually. If you are on Windows do this.

 

Open Regedit and then navigate: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Bohemia Interactive Studio\ARMA 2 OA

Then open KEY and copy everything its inside and paste it on a notepad. When you are at his house start Regedit again and navigate back to the KEY registry and paste yours in there, just make sure you backup his before so he won't need to reinstall the game.

You can't just paste a CD key in there that looks like this 54632-asda3-35241-asda2-151sd it won't work. The CD key is translated differently in the registry in specific format that only registry can read something like this (0000 10 01 01 01 10....). Also I forgot to mention that its very case sensitive 1 wrong letter and nothing works anymore.

I don't know if GUID is linked to your registry, Steam, or your profile (in ArmA). So Maybe, yes, no respectively.

your CD key  is your GUID its what makes the game know you are different from others. try and change your key and you will see.
