Same thing here at about 2100 CET last night.
Fresh spawn, I'm not sure where but in front of a coastal petrol station if that helps. I go to the petrol station then some guy comes up behind me and starts punching me and laughing over Voice chat.
Then I get stuck in a lag loop while trying to run away and can't change direction or look around without the view and location snapping back. Figure the server is having trouble so I exit and try another.
I spawn in the middle of the ocean with no land visible in any direction, but can hear the sound of a zombie and even heard a drink can being opened at one point while swimming away from the sun. (Random sounds or am I actually under the world?)
Anyway to request a character reset or do I need to leave game running to suicide?
