Tweakie 199 Posted August 1, 2012 "illegal copies may degrade" pops up for legit versions too.. It is just a server/battleye announcement.And a fair few people keep saying they can't play DayZ with 2 account on the same internet. Dunno how to fix it, except to say, check out the 73 other threads with similar problems Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Furry_PawstarZ 31 Posted August 1, 2012 (edited) This is because you are using the same copy of arma 2, you need to have used 2 different cd keys or else it will think you are trying to log onto the server with 2 characters resulting in one getting kicked. I and my brother had this problem but now works fine. After getting a second copy of arma 2 the problem was fixed.
