atheist4thecause 1 Posted October 15, 2014 Hi guys, I'm new to the game. I tried going inland and got lost. People have told me it only takes about an hour to get across the map, but I've run hours and hours and hours finding nothing. Now I'm by some hills with basically nothing around for as long as I can see except more hills. I've been on this grassy hilly texture for hours running due east the entire time. No trees no nothing. I don't even know how to kill myself so basically for the last 3-4 days I've either not played or done absolutely nothing when I have played because there is nothing to do but run. I thought by now I would die of starvation but I'm not even hungry yet. Is the map really this big? Am I stuck in some sort of bug? I tried changing servers and puts me in the same place so I doubt it's a bug. I took all my clothes off and went to night servers and I can't even die. It just says I'm cooling off but I never get cold. I'd appreciate any help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freethink 984 Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) sounds like you've hit the edge of the map...turn 180 degrees, find the first decent road and then follow that to a town, read the road sign then consult http://dayzdb.com/map Edited October 15, 2014 by freethink 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BeaverProductions 441 Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) If you cant find your way back, take off all your clothes and leave DayZ running for a few hours while you do something else and you should be dead. If you have picked up something that would kill you faster (Disinfectant, Alcohol Tincture) eat that. Edited October 15, 2014 by Beav 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Judopunch 523 Posted October 16, 2014 Oh, so the map keeps going? There's no block or anything? Got it. Thanks guys.This. If you are not in the flat grass texture for to long you can travel south east and will eventually hit something, or die of starvation. The sun rises just south of east, at mid day its south, and sets south of west. So if you look at the server time you should be able to figure out where to go! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
federal39 11 Posted October 18, 2014 Just like me ran for few hours until I hit the broken ship not knowing there was a town near by and die of starvation on the ship Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
northofnowhere 39 Posted October 19, 2014 Just like folks get lost in the woods in real life and do circles, so happens in DayZ. A trick I use is to simply double tap ALT to lock in my mouse-look-around feature. Then you are definitively running in a straight line. It does help to already know where you are and where you want to be, but might help you in the near future. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
