Overheat quickhacks disable tracing

[Paul]

I've been playing a quickhacker mostly focusing on Overheat at the moment and I've noticed that quite often after I clear out an encounter and move on to the next that tracing of my quickhacks has broken, trivializing the game since I can just hack with no consequences.

Normally when you quickhack it will say "traceable" on the hack and then once you're being traced it'll change to "+20% trace" or something to that effect. What I've noticed is that sometimes I get that "+20% trace" messsage even when I'm not being traced and my guess is it's trying to add the extra trace percentage to a trace that isn't happening so it just doesn't do anything.

I'm not sure if it's a thing specific to Overheat, it's possible that it happens with other quickhacks too. But my friend isn't having the issue and I'm spamming Overheat a lot and because of the damage over time I guess it may be more likely to cause some timing issues with when certain values are set.

Just quicksaving and reloading from the main menu seems to help, but it happens often enough that it's very frustrating. It's not consistent, so I can't reliably reproduce it. But if I play for an hour it's bound to happen twice or more.

So I decided to pick the game up again and it's still happening, over a year later.
