Given that you're playing on stables servers..

 

• Search houses for canned food. Trees & bushes for apples & berries.
• Find a sharp object to open cans. Preferably a can opener, but most blades will work.
• Find warmer/heavy clothing in the best condition that you can. Raincoats work wonders.
• Avoid rain if you do not have weather-resistant clothing. & avoid treading through water.
• If necessary, build a fire to stay warm & dry. Combine sticks & a rag to make a fireplace. Cut down a tree to get a log to go on top of it. Ignite with matches.
• You can drink from any water source that gives you the option. All water is clean at the moment.

Here's a good post to start with:

A few tips:

1. It's all about learning the map and which types of buildings are worth looting vs which are worth skipping. Read street signs to know what town you're in and what towns are coming up. There's a few map sites but here's one that I use: http://dayzdb.com/map/chernarusplus
2. Learn to look for wells and fresh water ponds are (if you have a water bottle or canteen you can even collect water from the rain!)
3. More than just the can open can open cans (axes, machete, knives, screwdriver, etc)

That should at least get you started on the food and water problem. I've got 650 hours played and I can get energized (full of food) and hydrated (full of drink) easily within an hour (perhaps less). DayZ is a big place and with the regular updates on Wednesdays it changes every so often, so there's a lot of running and learning the hard way (dying) that you'll likely do before you get comfortable. Good luck!

Finding it a little bit difficult to decipher your post I'm afraid.  I take it English isn't your first language?  Thats perfectly fine, but try and say what your specifically having problems with and I will be more than happy to help.

 

I take it your finding it diffcult to survive and cant find water/food/axe/weapon/ammo? 

 

Not sure what "no lag maps" means or the last sentence.

 

• If you find a pond, stream/river or pool of water, you can drink from those.

• Some houses on the current stable build do not spawn anything, some houses are goldmines for food.  Everyone struggles with the game for the first 5-10 hours.  Take this time to learn which houses are the best places to find food.
• Axes generally spawn in industrial areas.  Fireaxes can be found mainly in firestations in larger towns and cities.
• Jails/Firestations/Police station buildings are good places to find guns.  The top floor room of schools and office buildings often have guns too.  There are large brick red buildings which are also good for guns.  Climb up the outer ladders of firestations onto the roof of the tower - usually pistols there and ammo.
• Use something like http://dayzdb.com/map/chernarusplus to see where guns and other items spawn the most.
• Military bases have adnavced guns

"I creve" it's French for "I die".

 

Don't let yourself be discouraged, the heat/cold system in the 0.49 patch is heavily bugged, hopefully this will be fixed soon.
