2 licenses - one PC - yet shared settings?

[monolith1985 109]

So me and my brother both play on the same PC, we each have purchased DayZ on our steam accounts.

Since the beginning I was always set as arma 2 preset controls, plus my own tweaks and changes, while he uses dayz preset controls, with his own tweaks and changes.

But lately, we seem to be sharing settings, he hasn't played for a while but when he went on, he had all my controls, which he changed, then when i go on, I have to do the same

 

any reason why this could be? Seemed to never be an issue before.  only thing i can think is I edited my config files for scene complexity, object view distance etc and marked it as read only.  But since the issue I have made his config files the same.  So thinking its not that....

Are you playing the on the same Windows user account? If so the Documents > DayZ > DayZ.cfg will be shared, so that would make sense.

yeah we have the same windows account, however in the documents folder there is 2 user configs for me (standard and .vars) and 2 for him.  plus it didnt seem to be an issue at the start, and we have always used the 1 windows account, but different presets
