2 DayZ Clients?

[atikfrantov@yahoo.com 1]

Is it possible to run 2 dayZ clients on the same machine if i have 2 cd keys?

For multiple characters, or to be played at the same time?

I have a charecter with awesome loot that i use to play with my friends, i bought a second key just to have a second character to play the time im alone...

You'd have to have have two different steam accounts with two different cd-keys. Don't think their is a way to be running both at the same time for whatever reason you would need to do that.

If you're using the second CD key to play a second character, there is absolutely nothing wrong, I imagine. Using it as an exploit in some way, by playing at the same time would likely not be OK.

Got it working from this post http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3481582&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=84#post404034285

I need to launch the game outside of steam tho.

I didn't say anything of playing the same time, i agree this is not WOW!!! But i want to play alone and explore, but with friends we spawn together and log out together and if i die hooking up across the map is a pain, that's why i need the second charecter, to run and explore, die a lot and don't care) i had some help in IRC chat, i exported my old cdkey via regedit, reinstalled Arma2 OA, and exported again, now i have 2 reg files, depending on what char i want to play i just load to registry the one i need!

Take a look at the link from mrprofx, looks like its possible, Atik

i just did the same thing without reading it, but it follows exactly the same path i went, but thanks 4 the link, some one may find it useful)

Well. Same situation with me - have character on steam-key account (sd guns, wookie suit, nvg etc.) and I use it to play only with friends at night. Now I bought retail, install it, export key entry from registry and then uninstall.

Looks simply: import retail-key and DayZ on Steam will works on new account, BUT when you launch the game through Steam it's automatically update key in registry and you loading on steam-key account.
