Autodrive?

Sometimes when I start a game, the tank moves backwards by itself. Does anybody know how to fix this without leaving the game?

I've never seen this happen before. Do you have this problem in other games as well? or just thinktanks?

Nathan, it's possible that ThinkTanks for some reason thinks you pressed the backwards key down but didn't release it. If that's the case, you should be able to fix the problem by hitting the backwards key and releasing it (it should catch it on the way up this time). Note that there are 4 backwards keys "s", down arrow, 5 on numeric keypad, and 2 on numeric keypad.

Clark: I tried that, and it worked. Thanks for your help.
