Cannot join servers after logging in from another computer
New, NormalPublic

Description

This is a form to report an issue from the PC VERSION of the game -

I was playing dayz on my laptop and I wanted to play with my brother, so I transferred the game data (the dayz folder) from my laptop to my other computer. I opened dayz with the same account to see if it worked (and it did) and then switched to another account to start playing with my brother. That's when the problem started. My brother was not able to join any server because the game seemed to load my character. So we tried to delete the save files and it didn't work. We fixed it by creating another windows user. My brother was able to play for some time and I was able to play with him. He quitted and than tried to join again. He wasn't able to. Probably same issue as before. We decided to delete everything and reinstall windows and download the game without accessing EVER with my account, but just with the other account. Unfortunately my internet connection is very bad so I am still trying to download it on the other computer. But this is not the main issue.

The main issue is that now I can't even play on my laptop. I click "play" and nothing happens. I try to change server and nothing happens, I deleted the save files, nothing happened. I have no idea what is going on.

Steps To Reproduce

To reproduce download the game on a computer, play it a bit just to be able to recognize your character when you open the game.

Than take that data (the whole dayz folder) and move it to another computer, login into steam WITH THE SAME ACCOUNT, join a server and get out and close the game. Close steam too and log off steam.

Join steam with another account, open dayz and try to join a server. This may work or may not, I don't remember if it did. Get out and try to change server. Now the problems should start, if they don't, close the game and reopen it. Try to change character from the main screen, if the models go into T-pose (mine do) then I guess it's the same bug.
