I don't think that light engines can survive a loss of a torso, like they are supposed to. Also, my UZL-3P shows up as a jenner in the mechlab selection box. More important, I'll take out a mech in a light engine, I'll lose a torso, and i die. Anyone else?

Sounds like they're criting the engine before destroying the side torso... That would do it. (I've had it happen a couple times on Clan mechs with XL engines pre-patch)

Possibly. It just seems that my engine would go after I lost a torso every time. CT not gone, just the one torso, and reads dearh by destroyed engine.

But, I was catching up o Majestic's vids, and he lost a torso just fine. I also noticed that all his Uziels in inventory show up as Uziel. I'm running on standalone, so maybe that could be a difference, and something's amiss with the standalone. Maybe I'll try steam again.

Could just be a streak of unlucky crits, but you might want to check and see if there's any ammo in those sides exploding, as I've seen that take out the engine and appear to leave the CT intact on Clan mechs. (if that isn't happening, and it happens more than 6 times in a row, you probably found a bug)

I'll have to see about the ammo, and i did consider that. The Uziel just seemed too squishy, and i was trying to figure out why. I switched from XL to light, and at least 3 times on 3 separate variants it seemed that as soon as I lost a torso, I was out.

The fact I have a Uziel showing up in inventory as a Jenner is definitely a bug. If I select it, I still get the correct Uziel variant, but something is definitely wrong with, at least my load of, the standalone patch. I wad hoping someone else could confirm on the possible torso issue with light engines, but it could be so many other things too. I could be just that unlucky.

I'd give it a couple more rounds of testing to be sure, and pay close attention to see if it's actually destroying just the ST or the CT as well, but not showing it. Might be a good idea to record the match if you can. (if you can't I understand, I can't either)

[VinnyBagODoughnuts]

Will do! Maybe I'll try running the patch utility to see if there's anything amiss as well.
