No gun at the start of the game ?

[xchrispyyx 0]

Hey guys,

I am completely new to playing DayZ so if I am being stupid I apologize.

When loading the game I get the error: no entry 'bin\config.bin/cfgweapons'

Once in game I begin with no weapons at all and just die instantly

can anyone help ?

Well, Rocket, being the sadist that he is, has removed the starter weapon from survivors. And there's also a loot spawn bug in the latest patch, meaning you won't be able to find any food. The bug should be fixed in hotfix tonight, apparently.

You chose the worst possible day to start playing!

As for the error message, I think I get that, but it doesn't affect anything in the game.

The error message is common. You don't have to fix it, it doesn't affect the game. In the latest version of the game you don't spaw with a gun.

However, dying instantly is NOT part of the game. Could you explain a bit further?

Wrong section BTW.

That error message is common, just hit ok and don't worry about it.

You can stop the zombies chasing you by breaking line of sight from them, they're easy to avoid once you figure out how.

Dying is part of the game, so don't get disheartened.

So basically I am screwed lol

How do I get a weapon then ? and as for the loot patch, when will this be fixed ?

This is going to be for a Machinima Respawn series lol and it's a huge promotion for the game, not a great start so far :L

Christ, start the Machinima tomorrow, you won't stand a chance of surviving if you begin right now! According to the dev team's twitter, the loot bug should be fixed tonight : https://twitter.com/#!/dayzdevteam

Weapons can be found in many buildings. Check the forum for loot maps that show you where they spawn.

Machinima Respawn

I look forward to the wonderful community this brings to the game...Ugh.

Just slowly make your way through the map and you will come across small towns. I'd advise crawling just to avoid the zombies at best. You will come across buildings that you can enter but will not always have loot in them. Good luck.

It's in ALPHA. That means it is in a testing stage. With every update or patch comes new features that may or may not work. That's how it works in alpha. If you want a perfectly working game that's been released and sold, go play something else.

Getting rid of the starter pistol was a great decision in my opinion. There's bound to be some idiots who target weaponless players for fun, but overall it should reduce the amount of PvPing along the shoreline and encourage cooperation.
