Often, my tank stalls.  It starts to move, then stops....start, stops...starts, stops.  This happens in forward and reverse for no reason.  Sometimes it starts rolling again and moves fine.  It isn't from track/tank damage.  It used to happen occasionally as soon as the battle started, but it has increasingly become a problem throughout the battle.  It happens with all of my tanks.

 

I tried the obvious solutions like cleaning the touchscreen and closing all other apps but that didn't help.  I restarted the tablet, leaving it it off for one minute as instructed in the "report a bug instructions" to no avail.  Finally, I reinstalled the app but the problem persists.

 

This game is a blast, but being left like a sitting duck in the middle of battle is taking the fun out of playing.  Anybody have an idea of what might be wrong?

That would be bad ping....the scourge of all blitz players. I have lost many a round due to loss of connection to the server or bad wifi. Sorry man....it happens.

With me I think it has to do with when I play for long on my phone and it starts warming up or I'm in a tense battle that my hands and fingers start sweating which I blame for the cause of my random stoppage.

This. Happened to me a lot before, then I changed screen protectors and the problem went away.

Same here bro. It happens sometimes when I play constantly for around 3-4h.

Most likely bad ping.

This has to do with your wifi not blitz...

[FunkSoulChicken]

My phone will do that if I attempt to play while it is plugged in for charging.  If I unplug, everything works fine.

 

I bought two extra batteries and a charger on Amazon last week to cure that problem.

Have you tried dried fennel stem powder?

[ElZeno]

I prefer fennel stem powder, myself.  Better than the seed, IMO.

Mine does the same, seems to happen right as red team spawns in every game. Usually play ok after that but not always.  ??

[MarcoGamer_640]

Yes, it could be bad ping. Sometimes when my internet is under a lot of heavy usage, my tank would stop and won't move. Which is a huge disadvantage in battle.

What does ping say in the bottom left?
How far are you from your wifi access point or router?

How saturated is your internet connection?

 

If you're several rooms away from the wifi transmitter and other people are streaming audio and video, you can have both disadvantages at the same time.

Yea, wifi speed here is a problem at times. I knew that was some of the problem, wasn'nt sure if that was all of it though.
Did learn on another thread that disconnecting my charger from tablet helps as well.

Thanks!

Thanks to everyone who answered.  I noticed a high ping in other forms, like the tank will suddenly crash into an obstacle or it will strangely roll underground, but a bad ping is bound to be part of the problem sometimes.

 

Interesting info about experiencing this while charging your phone, because stalling seems to happen most when charging my tablet.  I just never made the connection between the two.

 

It's nice to know this isn't a unique problem.  Now I understand why experienced players sometimes sit still and shoot it out instead of taking cover even though they are getting blasted into pieces.  I guess it is payback when it happens to me.....haha.

I have it happen about every ten games at the beginning the tank goes, then the joystick goes back to center, I can drag it forward and it returns immediately. If I switch to sniper mode and move then screen then switch back to drive it fixes it. The new thing is mid game happening about every fifteen games, I can't reverse, just direct reverse, I can go any other direction. And of course it always happens after I took a shot and need to back into cover. I have found no fix, if I survive it goes away in a minute or so.
