    You know when that guy orders you to pop the hood of the yellow car out front and fix it up? Well, I did but after doing so, nothing happens. No new messages, no new quest updates. Nothing. I'm actually stuck here, barely 2 minutes in. I can't get into the car, I can't get back into the room, I can't do anything cept setting fire to the trees and watch Dunia work its magic. I've tried starting a new game but same result. Another thing, the "press r to change scale of map" message keeps on coming up.

    firstly what computer are you using from your sig list.
    think you need to go into options to set up your mouse. which mouse are you using and is it a 2 button or 4 with wheel.
    these are the settings i have.
    once in the game click Esc > options > controls > actions should be set at forward = w
    back = s
    left = a
    right = d

    actions >
    fire = left mouse
    iron sight with map open = right mouse
    sprint = left shift
    jump = space
    crouch = c
    reload / unjam = r
    interact = button 4 = get in vehicle/use gun on back of car etc

    misc
    heal self/take tablets = h
    throw grenades = q
    next throable weapon = f
    quick save F5

    The same thing happened to me when I first played this game. I fixed the car and then 5 mins later the guy calls me on the phone. Maybe it is a bug because the second time I started this game again, it did not happen.
