Getting Overheat Damage Without Overheating

When you press the button, you get "Override Engaged".
With override engaged, once you hit 95% or so heat (it varies a little), you get "Override Shutdown" to let you know that you WOULD have shut down had you not been in override mode. But that warning can get eaten up by other cockpit audio, so you don't always hear it.

For instance i don't need to hear all 9 missiles on my ACW-1 at the same time when i go bonkers...

Are you sure? I tested it in testing grounds and while in match. In both cases the "Overide Shutdown"-voice was only played when i hit the override-button, then never again. I just even accidentially killed myself because i had not realized that i was already beyond 100%. If there is any sound effect telling me that i just entered hell it is so subtle that i can't even hear it with my headphones...
The only warning from heat i hear is the usual "Heat Level Critical" at 80%, then nothing more until i explode from overheating if i keep firing...
It says "heat lever critical" immediately followed with "override shut down" then i hit 91% 1/10th of a second and take good damage to internal.

Can you show us your assassin build? I'm sure someone could try and reproduce the issue

Im on a Phoenix Hawk 1K with 8SL. Who would dare replicate that . Its not something consistent, i played it often that night and it happened since i came back on different paltform. I played the SCR and BJ and others since then.
I was getting shot at by a ACH with flamers and MGs.

Seems to be more common in scouting matches. I tend to slap override before I land from the dropship.
A few times I turned override off and immediately exploded.
Other times I was taking damage with the heat bar visually showing less than 60% or 80%.
I wonder if PGI messed around with high level heat or if it is tied to tracking ghostheat or just packet loss.
No idea.
I tend to take the all the heat/cooling options in the skill tree. Maybe some of those are bugged.

Heat level below 40% hear the heat warning, boom dead.

Edit, yes flamers should take your heat gauge up to full but not shut you down unless you fire.

Yeah in one game I do remember specifically being hit by 2 lights with flamers and getting heat warning/override engaged warnings while registering at around 40% heat, so it seems that can happen, whatever it is that triggers it, unless it got a ninja fix?

Many of the games had no flamers.
Are you guys engaging Override at the beginning of the game or taking lots of the heat reduction quirks?

44% heat, taking internal damage, then dead.

Sorry, I don't have video. But you can see the heat at 44%, then 4 seconds later the engine is blown out with front and back CT armor still in place.

Sorry for the delay, was traveling.
Here is a video with the heat gauge being weird starting after 3:00 - shortly after coolshot was used.
Hitting 100% before getting the Override message.
Getting stuck at 100% from 4:15 to 4:52 with no cooling registered even though no shots fire and no movement.

suggest you also get one with override damage below 100%.

Remember that on cold maps, you actually start below 0% heat. The gauge cannot show it though. If you let yourself cool a while, you will again go below 0%.
