IveDefected 1 Posted June 25, 2012 So we're having a little lan party and I'm trying to play DayZ on my friends computer. We both own our own copies of Arma and DayZ characters. We usually play from the launcher. Would logging on to my steam account and launching from steam allow me to play my character on his computer? Is this possible?

gorkounov 2 Posted June 26, 2012 I believe it should work. The characters are saved for each CDKEY so idk there could be a issue if it's the same computer though I think Steam changes the CDKEY if your using YOUR account. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IveDefected 1 Posted June 26, 2012 We tried using my separate steam and game (and his) and it seems characters are tied to the actual computer. Regardless of which person is running which copy we can only ever use his character on his computer. This would lead me to believe that the keys are tied to the computer's registry. I guess it's just poor design with Arma. I don't think I want to edit his registry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
piemanpm 13 Posted June 26, 2012 http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=12556Have a read of that. It does involve editing the registry, but should be completely reversible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Really the link was a good help though. I didn't find that in my search.Speaking of which thanks for suggesting I use a forum search feature which totally works flawlessly. And thanks for suggesting it in such a presumptively douschy way. It's almost like you half helped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
