I have been trying literally all day to play this game...

... on the very rare occasion where I find a server using the latest version that I can connect to, when I am able to load a character with no glitches (no audio, terrible framerates) even when I endure and hang in there and go through 5-10 false starts in order to connect to a functional game, I get killed before getting 400 yards away from the coast. Not by walkers but by armed survivors.

I'm not nearly as angry at the wasted $30 as I am at the entire wasted day of my life.

Just use the filter in the server list...

sorry mate I feel for you I really do, i've been having a similar experience myself this evening. However this is an alpha build and you;ve got to expect severe problems from time to time.

Take a look at this and perhaps you'll realise just what alpha software really means: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_release_life_cycle#Alpha

That said there is a hotfix in the pipe which should fix a lot of the problems with 1.7.1

Come back in a day or two and give it another go.
