The situation happens no matter what I try. It continues to persist.

So I was just up west of Lumber Mill with a buddy and I took a clip out of my gun and it disappeared completely. Then we headed to the shipwreck up the east coast north of Lumbermill and I found a field backpack, sg5-k, and a few fx-45 mags. Upon that I logged out of the server and when I later logged in all that gear had disappeared and I continue to spawn halfway there from the place near Lumbermill. I have done testing with it and no matter what I do I continue spawning there. I even set all of my gear down and picked it back up and when I relogged my inventory was wiped. I have reached a point where I literally can't play the game at all and it's seeming like a waste of money at the moment.
