Map is just a black screen

Just got the game today and once I was able to get into a game my map was just pure black. It's happened every time since I've made a character.

You have to find a map first.

You need to find a map first in game to be able to view it.

Sounds like you haven't found a map.

You have to find a map, for example inside market. When you born, or re-born, your caracter have nothing, only some bends, painkillers , flashlight and something else.

So you haven't any map and if you try to look at map you will see only black space.
