I am posting this here as i am new to DayZ and would like some help with these issues. My experiences in DayZ always last less than an hour, as I end up dead or with a black and white screen and just quit. I can never find any loot, no matter where I check. I can go to Balota Airfield, Cherno or Elektro on an empty server and never find anything (I don't just mean useful items, I mean nothing will spawn at all). I also have issues with zombies continuously spawning in an area without me leaving it. For example on my last attempt I went into Balota, then got 18 zombies to follow me into a bush where I killed them all with my hatchet. I returned to the airfield and another 12 zombies had spawned, so I did the same thing. Come back and another 14 had spawned. Once my kill count had reached 50, I decided to ignore the zombies. I checked the whole airfield and all I found was an empty M14 on a dead player (who had nothing else on him) on my way out of the area. This whole time I'm pretty sure i was never far enough away to trigger a respawn (less than 50 metres). Could anyone explain what I am doing wrong, or whether there is a bug that could be causing these things. This game looks amazing and I would love to enjoy it, but these issues make it impossible to get anywhere in the game as i can only use the things i spawn with and i tend to die really fast.

Whatever server i was on spawned me with some stuff. The dead player had the spawn items aswell as the M14. I think i read that server resets respawn items, so i may have to look for items after one. I'm still not sure what to do about the zombies though, they just wouldn't stop spawning. There is a screenshot of my kill count, it was 44.

the other guy said to move it to DayZ Mod, so i did...
