The_Lungy 3 Posted December 27, 2013 Alright I have a question, I recently built my first PC, and of course I wanted to tryout DayZ standalone. I started playing and I'm almost completely geared up. Now, I feel bad because my brother would like to play too but he cant because I cant find a way to have two different characters, and wouldn't like to lose all my gear :c Is there any way you could have two different profiles on DayZ, with different gear and everything? if there is, how do you do it? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flyingpurplehippo 17 Posted December 27, 2013 Steam family sharing.Have him log into his account on your PC while DayZ is installed, then when he tries to run it you'll have to give him permission. In-game, you can't have 2 profiles.I'd like to see that addition, that way I can play with my friends with one character and do my own thing with another. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although having 2 profiles in game would be cool can cause alot of abuse regarding gear hoarding.For Ex; One profile hoards good loot, drops it somewhere on the server on the ground second profile would log in and take the loot off of the ground and voila.

Don't allow the profiles to log into the same server within a certain time frame. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
