An_Orphanage 0 Posted May 23, 2012 I was going to let my brother try DayZ by just making a new char so he could start from scratch.However, when he spawned, he spawned into the exact location as my char and with all my gear. I am not sure if this is a glitch or if somehow chars all share equipment, can anyone advise on this?I did not let him play since I wasn't sure if his eventual death would ruin my character as well.

Mitritch 4 Posted May 23, 2012 If he played on the same computer as you, with the same game copy installed, then he just used your character, because characters are linked to GUID which is shared for all profiles inside the ArmA 2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
An_Orphanage 0 Posted May 23, 2012 Damn, so I'd have to put the all this crap on another computer to let him try it?I am not looking forward to another 14hrs of slow Steam downloads. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vert 0 Posted May 23, 2012 You can backup the steam installs and move them to another PC to install them on there.It needs to be a different CD key though or else it will still be your characters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ihax 16 Posted May 23, 2012 Yeah you would need another copy of the game separate from yours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

worbat 13 Posted May 23, 2012 Honestly, a 4MB line is terrible, and those are the kinds of speeds I would expect out of such a line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stick32 0 Posted May 23, 2012 With my Uverse package I often get 900k+ download speeds. My Uverse package isn't even the top end package either. Let's not blame steam for something that is clearly your isp's fault. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
