Anyone else have issues walking?

do you stop walking when you are being shot? ... that happens a lot to me

No I dont have to be being shot at for it to happen. It just suddenly stops. Sometimes it happens instantly. Like it will walk a step the stop, step then stop. The joystick moves back to center also. I have no issues turning, just walking. 

yeah ... I think that happens too ... the being shot one is more annoying for me ..because I am ...being shot!
Then I can't help but shout "MOVE!!!" ... dead

Not the same as the OP, but I find that sometimes my 'controller' gets stuck strafing left. I assume it's my device (Samsung Galaxy S7 Active running Android 7) but do not know for sure.

And i thought was the only one having this problem. I returned a tablet, because i thought the screen was defective and was having ghost touch issues...Or developers fking with me..

Only of those 「neat-o」 grates on PP. Is that on purpose Pix? To slow that spawn position down?

Don't have the same problem as OP, but this happens to me all the time! Usually preceded by massive burst damage on my bot; thought it was my device, but now it might be the game itself. When it happens I've gotten into the habit of lifting my fingers off the screen for about 2 seconds - frustrating. Is it a glitch, or is it Pixonic's way to simulate pilot panic? If it's the latter, pretty crappy way to foist some superficial drama into gameplay.

EDIT: Happens when turning or walking!

Yes, when I drink too much.

Can't stand that. Don't know how many times I've used my rush out of the spawn in a Carnage or Lance and gotten stuck on the grate and wasted the ability.

Everytime.
Gets me killed most of it.
But I do also get to kill reds who were "stucked" before.

Yes, I hate those "SNAGS" -- the vents by the hills on the Power Plant!!!

There used to be a stack of objects (not sure if it's still there since the update) in Yamantau, where my bots would get snagged on the Beacon A side of the map when turning the corner from behind cover towards the collapsed bridge. I would routinely round the corner with sufficient distance between me and any objects only to be snagged in mid air. 

Occasionally on Canyon and Springfield, usually at the beginning of the battle, as OP described, but often in the thick of battle, I will be snagged on thin air for no apparent reason. At times these appear to be due to game lag, as the joystick resets to the central position, despite my thumb having not moved, but other times my bot is still walking with the joystick in forward position, but it is being denied forward movement, as in the case with the Power Plant vents. I figured that these were either merely bugs in the game, or troll moves made by Pixonic to screw with us, or some combination of the two.

The best resolution that I've found is to simply turn in the left or right direction then turn back center forward, and that usually overcomes the "snag".

In addition, there are a host of small protrusions on every map, especially in Dead City and Springfield, where robots will get snagged on small objects and regions jutting from the walls that only serve to make the Art of War more challenging to the pilot. 

There are two ways to look at the glass...half empty or half full. On the one hand, these snags can be mind-blowingly annoying and a true pain for any pilot, novice or expert. Or on the other hand one can look at them as micro-challenges that allow one to learn the maps, and to grow and excel as a pilot, once mastered. They provide a substantive but outwardly undetectable competitive advantage to the pilot that learns and overcomes said "snags". So they can be used to one's benefit if the enemy has surrendered to his frustration and determined to become annoyed by these aberrations.

It's worth noting that the glass half full perspective can be a beneficial worldview to maintain in life in general.

With that being said I f*#%ing hate those f*#%ing snags!!! But it is probably best if we learn to overcome them.

This is exactly what I do too,I'm right handed so my phone has its home button by my right hand side.But for some odd reason,I have much more joystick problems when my phone is at my right hand position.So from then on,I flip my phone whenever I play War Robots.I really hate it when I'm backpedaling/strafe then I suddenly stop and get blasted by a DB salvo.This helped me alot,so maybe you guys try it too.And remember,they are adding more content to the game nearly every update,I wouldn't be too surprised if lag/bugs intensifies bit by bit.

BTW,does anyone have that sliding problem when your at the ramp in the moon map?

My bots only stop when they note that one of their shoelaces are loose.... ;-)

I have had this happen, before... and then again today.

Dry skin or dirty screen are the root causes in most cases.

Go find your wifes most expensive lotion (or your moms, or both) and use 1/2 the tiny jar on your hands.... not only will your gaming experience improve but after you used up all her expensive product she will leave you alone to play War Robots.

Im kidding about a portion of this... dirt or dry skin are a big part of the cause.
