I have been experiencing way more overloads than usual since the update, did they break something?

I've seen no difference. Are you using a different animator than usual?

If you can give me some more info on when you're overloading I may be able to provide more input, otherwise I've seen no change as of late and I assume it's just you're noticing it more for one reason or another.

Did you leave your automaton plugged all night? That's not good for the batteries.

How are you using your maneuvers?
This as well as

Are you using the maneuvers shortly after zoning or activating.
Is there a specific maneuver you're overloading on more often?
Are you certain your burden reduction gear is being swapped in?
Are you using Tactical Processor or no longer using Heatsink?

Nothing has changed, same gear, same maneuvers, 3 dark for refresh as im skilling up magic. Before the update i was overloading very rarely now im lucky if i can get it to stack to 3 and i am getting way to many overloads on just 1 maneuver. Same area to, Marjami Ravine.

I would check to make sure your burden gear is equipping correctly then. Otherwise, spamming 3 of the same maneuver will overload you pretty often with or without burden gear so I see nothing wrong here.

I suppose another question is, is your overload reduction gear in your main pack? I'm saying this on the off-chance that you may have switched job recently, shifted gear to another pack to make room, and forgotten to shift it all back when you returned to PUP.
