Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
I have been able to repeat this bug: Infernos add heat when they impact and after the victim unit's movement phase ends. If the 'mech is put into an overheat or shutdown state as a result of that second dose of heat, the game will not allow you to brace. The only way to end the turn is to fire your weapons at a target (usually generating more heat).
This would be bad enough on its own, but if your movement phase is used to break LOS with the enemy (you know, 'cause you're overheating like whoa), you now have no legitimate targets. The game cannot be interacted with meaningfully in this state and must be forced to quit by the Task Manager, losing all progress in the mission up to that point.
Not sure if the "you must fire weapons if you are subject to inferno heat" is an intentional haywire effect or not, but if so it needs to be re-evaluated.
Have you tried verifying your files?
No
Steps to reproduce the issue
Get a 'mech hot. Shoot it with a lot of infernos, Inferno Carriers are great for this. Move the unit that is now overheated from the infernos out of LOS and eat the 2nd wave of inferno heat. Behold, you now cannot do anything.
