introvertwriter 4 Posted January 21, 2014 I'm sorry if I'm missing something blatant. I purchased the standalone through PayPal, I have Steam downloaded and ready I just don't know where to go from here? Under "My Games" on the bistudio website it doesn't list anything there. Thanks for the help! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weparo 613 Posted January 21, 2014 Well, where did you buy it? BIS or Steam? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
introvertwriter 4 Posted January 21, 2014 I followed straight through the DayZ site which led me through BIS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weparo 613 Posted January 21, 2014 I followed straight through the DayZ site which led me through BIS. Urgh, I never did that. I'd assume that they'll send you a steam key to the provided email. Could someone who acctually did this help him out? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trigger Hippy 176 Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) If you find out you've been conned, just process a chargeback through PayPal and report the guy who did it to PayPal and the mods on here (if it happened on here) Edited January 21, 2014 by Trigger Hippy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OrLoK 16185 Posted January 21, 2014 Hello there The best thing to do is check through your email. Especially your spambox as any info may have got lost there. Im assuming theyll send you a steam key and you can redeem it there. Rgds LoK 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
introvertwriter 4 Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) I don't think I conned thankfully. Everything was through the DayZ and BIS site, PayPal says it was "Bohemia Interactive Publishing" that my payment went to. There just hasn't been a follow up e-mail telling me where to start the standalone download. I feel like I'm missing something but I've searched around pretty thorough. Also nothing in my e-mail yet, including the spam. Perhaps its a PayPal slow-processing issue. Not sure, hadn't ever had that problem before. Thank you for the help everyone.

introvertwriter 4 Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) After everything was done and redeemed through the website I had already had Steam open, apparently it needed to be restarted before the new game would be shown. I didn't explain because it's pretty dorky, but if there are other dorks out there I hope this helps. If you knew my gaming background you certianly wouldn't call me a noob -- and I've worked Steam before.. But this one was an uphill battle! All is good now. Today was my birthday so this was my treat. Edited January 22, 2014 by introvertwriter 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
knoCC (DayZ) 211 Posted January 22, 2014 Happy Birthday! I'm glad you got everything worked out... On that note, I can't wait to kill your ass, steal your shit, and run off into the Balota countryside wearing your face as a mask... *I'm kidding bruh...* (Deep, creepy voice) No, I'm not...

deebz1234 243 Posted January 22, 2014 I believe you log in to your BIS website account and then you can copy the key from there to steam... they should have emailed it instantly. or using steam was the easier option Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
