Second account problem

[Camper-joe 17]

Hey, at home i have two PCs setup, and i have a friend who frequently comes over to play on my PC

i bought him a copy of ARMA II on steam to play dayz with me, however since i have also used my second pc for my dayz account

the save files are on that pc too

yesterday when he went to login to his steam, go on sixlauncher for dayz and play, he ended up using my character instead of a new one.

(so basically we cant be in the same game at the same time)

things i have done to try and rectify it (and its not a router problem because my brother has a 3rd pc and plays with me just fine)

-Uninstall steam,

-Delete all game files (including the ones in my documents)

-Uninstall six launcher

-Reinstall and redownload everything

is there any way to completely wipe every arma II / Dayz thing off my PC? to get a fresh install that doesnt have saves from my account?

any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance

wow, my son played on my computer through Steam (he likes my bigger monitor) and when I came along, kicked him off and logged into Steam I also found myself with his character. I simply rebooted the machine and logged back in and everything was fine. Sounds pretty drastic uninstalling everything.

If none helps, try to delete this from register and reinstal arma

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Bohemia Interactive Studio\ArmA 2 OA

I have 2 acounts on my PC and play them both.

for that u need to create two .reg files with CDkeys and just swap them before loging on another account.

p.s. this way u can launch two arma2 accounts on the same PC at once.

Yeah, he can login if im not in, but then i cant login keep getting (kicked from server) probably because we are somehow using the same character save. however we both want to play at the same time, on two different PC's ill try rebooting again =P but yeah redownloading arma was a pain

I will give that a try, thanks :)

Just log onto your steam account primary/secondary and launch Arma 2 CO without the beta... That makes it so that your cd key on that account is in use on that pc. Afterwards, run the beta and there you go you have your 1st or 2nd account toon.
