JoshW 10 Posted June 14, 2013 Ok so my brother bought arma 2 as a disc (not on steam) and he let me put it on my laptop. It worked all well and good but the servers wouldnt let us go on the same one for DayZ. Is it the same IP that we cannot join (would be incredibly annoying) or using the same activation code. I was thinking of buying it on steam but im not entirely sure that they have they same servers or if it is separated to steam and non-steam. Otherwise it would just be a waist of money.

Hi, It could may well be the same IP,though you shouldn't use the same activation code you need to use different activation codes its not the way to do it. I suspect that you both have the same unique game id which is why only one of you can connect to the same server. I would suggest you buy a full copy of the game. Also with regards to the server question, it doesnt matter if its steam or non-steam all the servers are visable. There is no separation, steam is just another way of delivering the game rather than a CD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
