ok well here the problem me and my mate decided to play dayz together and heres the problem when i log in and play dayz i got the person i use and when my friend logs in hes registered as the same person that i just logged in with in the same place and equipment and all... when both join on the same server at the same time it never loads, when one of us is in game and the other tries to join the other gets kicked or says bad cd key...

(just a side note too hey bought the arma2 compined op and gifted me the game when he got the money)

keep in mind too we have different computers,different routers/ip and we live like 30km from each other...

any tips anyone?

Kind Regards Kurlzy

Both of you go to start menu, type in regedit. Launch regedit. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SOFTWARE / Wow6432Node / Bohemia Interactive Studio / ArmA 2 OA

On the right side of the window click the file that says KEY. Do both of you have the same key? Also, do not post the key here, it's what identifies your character. If you give it away anyone can play your character. I presume somehow both of you have the same key, you both didn't happen to use the same game copy for install did ya?
