Having issues with two people on the same network.

Me and my step brother wanted to play Dayz together after I bought this game for him. however when we tryed to play in the same game with each other there seems to be a strange connection issue. We can interact with the enviroment well and have a decent connection each (yellow chain once and a while but, you will get that anyways from time to time).

However we end up having issues with enteracting with each other. we would just see each other just walking off into the distance, or we would be in the same room but strangely not see each other. However when i walk to my brother and interact with his pack I can still withdraw items from it. not sure what to do now, I don't wanna think that I wasted my money on this so any suggestions will be helpful.

You wasted your money on a free mod? wow.

Have you tried different servers?

Was going to say, some servers block people who connect with the same IP. Try an #LOTC server, we allow as many people as the game will take from the same network.

Ok, so the word "waste" was misused. but the issue wasn't that we where blocked all together, we where able to get on the same server at the same time. However we where unable to really see or interact with each other to any good degree. Yes, we have tryed a few different servers but got about the same results.

A lot of people buy Arma II just for DayZ, derp.

@OP:

Playing with my brother on the same network creates similar problems. We bug on each other's screens sometimes.

I was about to suggest maybe a Proxy, but give what Rapuffel suggested a try first. (Thanks, I'ma try that too bro.)
