I logged in and instantly died.

So last night I was server hopping looking for an ATV at a certain spawn, I hopped to a random server that had 0/40 people on it looking for that spawn. when I spawned in (before I would see my guy when its still black screen just loading in) it says I died (more precisely it says "mortae has died"); and I'm in a black area with no trees, no town, no buildings, no foliage, no zeds. Nothing. So I abort, then when I "respawn" at the coast I have nothing, literally no pack, no bandage, none of the starter stuff. (Although this first time I kept the gillie suit until I Died a legit death.)

Now i was server hopping, I figured it was just that server being a troll server for all the people who farm via server hopping. My own fault right?

Well now I logged into my primary server and it happened again, after I had spent 8 hours gathering gear and supplies, I'm not doing anything even remotely wrong, just logged into the server I normally play on; lost all my stuff and went to black hill world with nothing in it. What is this place, why is it happening, and how can I prevent it from happening?

I have found this to happen if loading into a server within minutes of the server restart.

When this happens to me, I just alt-tab out of the game and close it from the processes. Fire up the game again and I spawn in my last location with my stuff.

I'll have to try that next time; do we know what it is?
