Duplicated DayZ Character

Recommended Posts

Hello,

I have no intenstion to exploit this, im not sure if it can be exploited but i have duplicated my character on another computer, both characters can log in at the same time, i would like to know how to resolve this so that there is only 1 character left, i believe it is because i logged into my new computer which transfered my new character to the new GUID but it did not remove it from my old PC.

I think that one of the GUID's would need to be scrubbed from the DB but i do not want my character wiped of my new pc.

please help!

ok to clarify, I have given my old pc to my brother and purchased a new one for myself. I installed Dayz onto the new system and logged in with my steam account, my brother has logged into my old computer using his steam account though were both still using my profile.

Is this based on the CD key the game was originally installed with? will it require a re-installation from his profile to work? also it caused me to fkn spawn in the debug wilderness and i had to suicide after an hour of running VERY pissed off

Yes. The character is bound to your CDKEY. Is your brother using a separate copy of Arma:OA? Until he reinstalls the game with a different cdkey he will keep on logging onto your character and if he dies, your character will be fresh when you log back in on your own pc.

Cool thanks, I thought that might be the case, the version of arma 2 was installed from my steam though he logs into his own steam to run it the reg entry will still have my CD Key, cheers
