scruffplox 0 Posted August 17, 2012 So I've just started playing Arma2 DayZ, I am ingame running around and everything seems to be working fine, EXCEPT that when I press "M" to access the map it doesn't show anything, it is only a black screen with 6 options in the top left corner. (Map, Notes, Units, Players, Statistics, Sever control)When I select Map it is only a black screen, can't press anything nor see.Do I need to find a map before using this feature? or can I fix this somehow?

SmashT 10907 Posted August 17, 2012 (edited) You need to find a map, alternatively you can use dayzdb.com Edited August 17, 2012 by smasht_AU Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LegitOldSchool 261 Posted August 17, 2012 Hai gaise. So I just started playing DayZ, I'm running around town and everything is pretty cool except I keep running into zombies and when I press left mouse to attack it does nothing. Do I need to find a weapon or something like that, or can this be fixed somehow? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scruffplox 0 Posted August 17, 2012 Ok, so until I find a map it will be pitch black?also, where can I usally find one? since I am running around in the mountains failing to find a way down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scruffplox 0 Posted August 17, 2012 you will need to find a weapon first,you can pick a weapon up from the ground if you find one by pressing the middle button, or the one you have hotkeyed to it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
voddler (DayZ) 367 Posted August 17, 2012 Scruff, try going to supermarkets. They usually have a map and also an ALICE backpack which has 20 slots. Second best backpack, or you can try finding it in high valued residential buildings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fraggle (DayZ) 15720 Posted August 17, 2012 The best thing to do is look for a supermarket. Try and stay near the coast (in the trees though, it's risky) and you should find a big city with a supermarket in it at some point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SumoS 168 Posted August 17, 2012 I have been lucky finding maps at the castles in the past when I first started.If you are avoiding towns why not try there? Might be handy to learn some navigation skills in the mean time, like how to find north or use a topographical map of Chernarus that you can use as a reference.
