Since 4.0 released I've had this problem whenever I've tried to fight hunts or ixion (areas with dozens/hundreds of players around) that despite being able to fight normally with no lag or dropped packets and such the game often seems to not flag me as being in combat and thus Barrel Stabilizer is unusable for the duration of the fight requiring me to generate heat manually through other means.
