So the new update hit today with the Halloween stuff. I was like cool! Then played my first match on the update to find a big problem. There seems to be a bug with looking left to right. At random I suddenly cannot look around to target people. Then it will randomly start working again. I’ve tried to explain this to some folks on a discord server I frequent. So I had to make a video of it to show what’s going on. Watch the screen where my finger is moving vs the bots lack of movement. It’s doing it on two of my devices. My Goggle Pixel C tablet and my Galaxy Note 8. This video show a little bit of the problem. But it’s to the point where it’s hard for me to play a game because sometimes it happens so much.
Anyone else noticing this?

Yep, happening on Note 4 and Tab S too. Randomly stops listening to swipe input to look around for seconds at a time. If they don't fix this before the event starts it'll be a total frustration-fest and I probably won't even bother trying to grind through this one. Just rage-inducing. :/

I'm royalty pissed about this! I was looking forward to the event in hopes it will have some good prizes to work towards in event task. But with this issue. It's going to make it so hard to play.

Yeah, this is basically unplayable. You can move around but can't change the direction you're facing. I play matches to have fun but getting randomly killed several times per round through no fault of your own isn't any fun. It's not "play" anymore, hence unplayable.
I was excited because they said this update fixed the fire buttons not reliably responding to individual tap input (and it seems to), but damn, Pix really can't seem to fix any bug without also introducing a new one to replace it. This is way worse than minor difficulties using staggered thunder fire... :/

Same issues here. Its the difference between a 4 star game and a 2 star. But maybe it's just a new feature that can be fixed for $300.

I seem to be getting "Reconnecting..." _way_ more than I'm used to, on top of the input locking up.
I wonder if the two are related?

Here is some more footage of the issue. This time recorded on my 2nd device with this issue the Pixel C.
As you can see here in these clips. You randomly cannot look around to target and aim your weapons. Sometimes for prolonged amounts of time. This will get you killed in the game for sure.

I have noticed "sometimes" you can let go of the screen. Then retouch it and have it work. But its not all the time 100%. So its not enough to still be able to play the game reliably. I have even tried some screen calibration apps. No luck on anything.

It's War Robots randomly ignoring the input. :c Also letting go and re-touching does nothing unless the game co-incidentally starts listening again during the period when you aren't touching, and even then it only _seems_ to help. You can release and re-swipe repeatedly with nothing happening during the episodes until it magically comes good again on its own. |

Players who didn't pay for a loooong time experience this? ? |

It's not just happening in matches. I was just in the Paint Job screen checking out the new Halloween skins and it happened there. Just the right side goes dead, and suddenly you can't swipe. 1-20 seconds later it starts listening to input again. I suspected this was something to do with the fire button tap functionality repair they did but those controls aren't present on the Paint Job screen, so I guess they're not related to this. Hrm.
Really hope they fix this. :c

Walking Robot Bugs. Seriously, why do we get with most updates new, 「slow」 bugs? war-robots-forum.freeforums.net/thread/15358/big-bug-competition?page=1&scrollTo=191420The most annoying thing is that these bugs are screwing with some rudimentary game mechanics, ones that were ok before! Is Pix really that 「slow」? Starts to look like a deliberate action, since I can hardly believe that any dev could make a complete 「fluffernutter」up in so many fields (releases, MM, pricing, bugs, idiotic PR). True masters in player base alienation! |

Updated the game this morning and seeing this bug on my Asus Pad 10,playing matches im getting shredded so no point playing till this gets fixed,but with Pixonics history of fixing bugs slowly this wont be till after the Halloween event is over probably.So Pix promises extra gold during the event then deliver a bugged update,great going.

I expected it to get a little bit stuck occasionally which happens to me, time to time.... this is quite frankly unbelievable good grief! |

Everyone with the issue please report it to pixonic. They need to know it's a big deal that needs to be fixed. Hopefully before the event even starts.

I found lifting thumb off screen and touching again has given me back control... it is still annoying when it happens
It has always sort of happened to the the left controller to me so I guess I am kind of used to it (bot tends to stop moving when it is hit by something)

I have this issue too and makes game unplayable. Nah, just a new monetization trick. You need to get that software upgrade for your robots to make them more reliable, which is available for 10.000 bytes - bytes you can win at the black market, or obtain by paying $340 in real money. |

Can we get controls back for 10k components?? |

This is way worse than minor difficulties using staggered thunder fire... :/ Apparently they need to work on their regression testing procedures. Gameroom may get its updates last, but this kinda stuff isn't happening either. Go Gameroom! |

I mentioned this issue in Arkontas' thread where he's compiling a list of current issues for Pixonic at their request. I think this is a time-priority issue before the event starts, because it'll be a bit of a disaster for Android players if it's still present when we're trying to grind out 100 matches a day or so. No Kumiho for us. :/ Could everyone being affected please go to that post, --> here <--, and like it so it's more noticable so he realises that this issue is a problem for many of us. Heck, even ignoring the looming event, it not even possible to play an idle match for fun like this. The game becomnes frustrating labour instead. :c |

Either this forum is dead or people experiencing this problem are rare. Maybe they implemented some future feature to access device's sensors, some of my sensors not working on my phone because of custom rom.
Before this update everything was nearly perfect including connection, I started to see connection problems too.
