The respawn button does not work

I was just walking outside at night and some husks attacked me. I couldn't get away because everithing started to get funky. When I ran away or tried to attack back, I did it, but the game threw me to the same possition over and over until I died. When I tried to hit the respawn button It did't work (It just clicks and nothing happens), so I just got back to title screen. I tried restarting the game and even the computer, but ther wasn't any difference. 

(personal view: highly frustrating 😞 don't know if my items despawn or not)
