Walkers get stuck on just about everything - unplayable

[angriff]

I mean come on this game is almost unplayable except in the desert. Got stuck twice today once where my walker legs just sat there and never touched the ground and the game would not let me flip it. Another time it got stuck and it would not even let me have the F key to get out of it.

Sounds like you should use walkers to task.

The second event happend two times in three days. I was stuck and could not get out of my ship. The 'F' would not even come up. I think you should be able to always have the flip and exit keys. Whatever routine they have for determining when to give it to you is a dead end routine and does not execute.

The first time i killed myself spawned in the legs and had to kill myself again. Finally, I was able to get me gear while a Rupu attacked my walker. The walker moved just a little and let me back in. The second time I killed my self and I respawned next to it. No flip key so I entered it to see if I could drive it out and then I was never given the F key again. Luckily someone reminded me of safe log and was not under attack so that worked.

I mean walkers are expensive investments to lose a quality walker no matter how small to a bugginess like this is a quitting frustration level.

I've just started, and on my second walker, is simply tilted a little so it's not enough to get the "flip" prompt and I can't get in because it's tilted... really frustrating.

The only thing you can do is get someone to hit it with another walker and move it. This helped on one occasion. The other two that was not possible.

idk what you guys doing with your walkers, but we had never problems with our walker.
your title is just crap.

Probably the difference in playing solo and playing with others. Playing with help trivializes ALL tasks in a game like this. From resource collection to getting a friendly bump once in a while.

I've always been able to wiggle walkers out when they were stuck on rocks/walls. It takes a while sometimes, but if you hold forward/back and in some direction left/right you can see it turning (VERY SLOWLY) a few pixels at a time. Keep holding in that direction and it eventually gets unstuck.

One time was problematic, like someone mentioned was tilted slightly to the point where could not get in or out. (Pretty sure it was could not get in.... because if I was in then would have wiggled it out). So moving slowly by holding direction wasn't an option. That one time had to bump it with another walker. But that's pretty rare.

At some point the devs need to understand that frustrations like this should be eliminated for the greater good of the game. Even if it's a "flip walker" option at all times until they can fix the underlying issues.

I agreee, we should have a long talk with god about this too because I'm constantly getting my car high centered in the real world and it's pissing me off... IRL broken, unPLAYABLE.

The very shape of the dinghy (lowest hull) makes it a pain to use in uneven terrrains wherein it can easily get stuck, happenned to me a few times to no other fix than ramming it hard with another walker.

TIP:

If you find your toon stuck on the walker controls, try sheathing the item you currently have active. This tends to work.

Logout and relog, without safelogging it. You will get the option to flip it each time you log in.
