Character disappeared :(

[elomolom 0]

My player disappeared yesterday. This is how it happened. My brother also wanted to play this game so I bought it to him through steam. Logged off my steamaccount and logged in on his.

We use same computer. Then I watched him play abit and later when I am logging in on my account and using my character, it is gone and I am on my brothers character. What the hell happened? Different steamaccount, but same computer. So now I lost my character and I had like everything. Was on day 7 with over 100 zombiekills. How am I getting it back? :( It is a shame you can't use same computer to play on different characters even if it is different steamaccounts.

Please help!

Log off steam, log back in on your account, start ArmA 2 Operation Arrowhead NORMALLY (No beta patch, just standard game), and hit the multiplayer tab. You can get out again and start ArmA as if you were playing DayZ. You'll be back on your account.

You have to do this process everytime you switch Steam profiles. Starting up ArmA 2 normally updates the CD-key your game is using, and that CD-Key decides which character DayZ will pick for you.

Your character is safe.

OMG, thank you very much! I thought I had lost it for sure. Glad that I did not need to begin over again. :)
