Friend sent me a gift, but it will not go through?
My friend gifted me DayZ. He bought it and sent it as a gift but it has not come through. What do I do? I had already restarted and updated Steam, but it's still not here.

Can your friend try to re-send it?

Information: Steam Support > Steam Gifts

I sent a Steam gift to a friend, but that person never received it. What now?

You can resend gifts in case your friend's email gift message was lost. If you are resending to a new (or corrected) email address you should be able to resend immediately. If you are attempting to resend it to the same email address the Steam system requires that you wait 24 hours to prevent the spamming of users. When you resend a gift the previously generated email will become invalid and the “accept” link within it will no longer work. Your friend must use the latest version of the email when accepting the gift.

If the recipient does not see the email, their email provider may be blocking our email. Please try having them use an email address from another provider.

Alternatively, sending it directly to their Steam account is another option.

He sent it directly through Steam. How can he resend it?

Until it is redeemed it should still be in his inventory.
