It would appear so, but I am seeing this issue both in official and community servers. It seems that 1.09 tweaked some global variables. As for stone knife, good luck finding stones. I walked trails for nearly half the island, and found only 1 stone... And you need 2 to make a knife.

I don't know exactly how it works, man, but I'm telling you, spawn rates are incredibly low right now. A lot of players I met confirmed this. It is definitely not a coincidence or some streak of bad luck. Something is clearly broken.

Tougher time is good, but spending 99% of game time going through empty houses and then dying of hunger is not fun. I think that essential survival items - basic food, knive, matches - should be much more common. Highier tier items could remain rare. That would keep a good balance without frustrating the players so much.

Hi. I think the loot spawn rates are seriously broken in 1.09. There is literally nothing spawning anywhere anymore. Not just on coastline, but even very, very far inland, as far as Vybor Airport. All houses are empty. Even houses that haven't been looted by other players. Infected also seem to have severely reduced amount loot on them. No food anywhere. No clothes. I played for 10 hours and couldn't find any weapon of any kind - not even a knife or a can opener. Died of hunger 6 times in a row, when in versions 1.08 and below I never used to die of hunger. I tried multiple servers, including empty servers or those with very few players - and it's the same. The loot spawning has been nerfed to a point where it's unplayable. And it's not just me - when I managed to get to Vybor Airport, I saw other players running almost naked, with no gear whatsoever, barely any food on any of them. Talked to them, they reported the same thing. I tried 6 different servers, and it's the same everywhere. I've been playing DayZ for 3 years, so trust me that I usually know how to survive, but now it is impossible. Something is seriously broken.
