Noob Can't Find Gauges

Recommended Posts

I just downloaded the game and i've searched everywhere. I'm sure it's something simple but when I enter a game I dont have any gauges. Just a dot in the center of the screen.

lol - Thats it, there are no gauges.

 

At this point most status indicators are text based messages in the lower left of your screen.  Low health/blood is indicated by the washing out or lessening of colors on your screen... black and white is bad mmmmkay.

Thanks, I guess this isn't the best game to watch youtube vids to learn to play lol. Everyone I see has the overlay of the blood drop/food/thirst etc I didn't know it was a mod.

There are 2 versions of the game. DayZ MOD which is a mod of Arma2. At the end of last year there was a DayZ standalone version released. All the vids you've been watching with the "gauges" were all vids of the Arma2 MOD and not stand alone.

And the two are in a very very different stage of development. I hope you didn't get a wrong idea of this standalone...it is really in alpha.

The mod was the idea, the standalone will be the result.

But the mod is finished (yes, a mod is never finished, blablabla), the standalone still misses most of the core features. HUD anyway will likely not be one of those.

Welcome to DayZ.

Edit: that's also why this forum has the main sections "DayZ" and "DayZ Mod". The second one is for the arma II mod that started everything, some years ago.
