iAwesome 128 Posted August 4, 2012 Hello forum.So if I want two accounts for Arma II Dayz on my computer, do I have to redownload the whole game or is there a way I can just purchase the game digitally without downloading the game and get a CD-key, and somehow swap between two accounts?And is it allowed to have two accounts playing on the same server? I purchased my other copy via Steam. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krtshv 362 Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) Steam *should* update your CD-Key whenever you launch your other account with the other CD-Key.If it doesn't, you'll probably have to Export & Remove your current one from the Registry and import it whenever you want to use that specific account.

Zodiac13 173 Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) Yes you can have 2 accounts. Yes all you need is a CD key. Yes there are ways to switch between your accounts. All you need is a cd key from Operation Arrow Head. Edited August 4, 2012 by Zodiac13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Log in onto my current steam or make a new steam account? Do I need to redownload the game or can I use the files I'm currently using? This is so confusing :(Edit:Zodiac, how do i only purchase the CD key? Edited August 4, 2012 by iAwesome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krtshv 362 Posted August 4, 2012 So, how do I do it? Log in onto my current steam or make a new steam account? Do I need to redownload the game or can I use the files I'm currently using? This is so confusing :(Simply log into your other Steam Account with the other ArmA in it. It should detect that you already have it installed and update your CD-Key.Always remember to run as Admin, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinsdale1978@gmail.com 19 Posted August 4, 2012 I have two steam accounts and two DayZ characters. Sometimes Steam won't switch registry entries but just click the update battleye in the steam menu and it should work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iAwesome 128 Posted August 4, 2012 When I'm on my current steam account and try to purchase another copy, it says I can't cause I already own the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Disgraced 1123 Posted August 4, 2012 The sekrit is....Separate steam accounts.... AND separate WINDOWS user accounts. Works for me on XP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krtshv 362 Posted August 4, 2012 When I'm on my current steam account and try to purchase another copy, it says I can't cause I already own the game.You have to make a separate account for the second character. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iAwesome 128 Posted August 5, 2012 (edited) Ah, I get it. I made a new Steam account and managed to purchase the game without redownloading the game. Obviously, as you're saying steam autodetects installed games, Now I just need to figure out how to swap between the accounts by starting Via Six Laincher.Edit: nevermind, it did that for me as well. Thanks guys! xD Edited August 5, 2012 by iAwesome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krtshv 362 Posted August 5, 2012 Six Launcher will be more complicated. You'll need to go into your registry, export your ArmA2 CD-Key hash (prolly both ArmA and OA) and then load up Steam, let it switch the CD-Key and export the new CD-Key hash. Then, simply double click the CD-Key reg key you want to use inb4 launching. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
