Has anyone encountered a bug wherein you throw a Grenade inside a building or base and the Grenade disappears about mid way through the throw? It also does not explode, just disappears. Had this happen about 6 or 7 times in about 125 missions, so not a big bug, but did indirectly put a trooper in the hospital one time as the result!

The grenade was a dud!

are you sure it is not going off ?  it may be out of sight when it goes off and you do not see it, you can something like this with rocket rounds that do not hit the right aim point and travel for a bit before going off, you don't see it, until you clean out the FOW darkness ?
 
 

I've had that happen a couple times. I presumed it was a dud. It's a good way to get your marine to $hit his pants when he's used his last bit of time units to throw it [:D]

I've seem this happen, I think it's a bug with collision, it seems to happen when the grenade hits directly between two isometric panels, I'd guess.

 It seems as if the grenade is actually disappearing into the 2nd level of the building and never exploding or coming back down to the first level.

I can live with dud's and even think it's a good idea though should be very rare, however this is not IMHO a dud situation.

Of course when there is a ceiling, no doubt the Grenade or such thrown object should not be able travel to another level through a ceiling... Also the Grenade did not go off at any point, we asume this as for one no sound, no damage, no explosion, etc.

It's like it just disappeared into thin air! Also when it does this, it's always at the mid point from the target w/o exception.

I think if there's going to be dud's, it would be nice if your Troop did a brief Jig & yelled out oh Cr%p or something!

I would guess that I've thrown outta 125 missions, probably 1k Grenades, so seven dud's or so in that is more or less exceptable to me anyway. Although in RL IIRC it was more common to have a shorter or longer delay type problen then a flat out dud...
