Just now, I lost a character on UT3. That wasn't out of the ordinary. What was, was that though it wasn't a bones level, somehow half the level was littered with corpses and Jenny was moved out of her usual room to a corner of the level. Anyone else have a similar experience?

You sure that you didn't have a weird bone file? Otherwise maybe the level generation got messed up while loading.

Ah, something similar happened to me after I tried to edit bones files with notepad. Vlad in Attnam XD

System would indicate in graphic if person is mounted on horse or not.
Same system also show if person mounted on boar, elephant, polar bear etc.
Or if person mounted on ass.
Ivan find mounting on ass funny.

No message, no pile of loot, no corpse, no ghost? You betcha it was no bones. I also doubt it's messed up level generation, it's the 0.50 IVAN I've been playing for years.

Well Vlad wasn't in his usual GC level when I got there. Plus the dungeon was all screwed up with corpses of "0@#641" (random computer jargon), all of which were carrying 12 cans of banan flesh.

Random computer file corruption? Anti-virus gone haywire?

IVAN in general isn't very good at saving things
