Invisible Players Bug

Might just be me. But invisible players are still accuring on pubs, centers and actual matches. So basically everywhere. Can this be because the bug didn't get perfectly patched, or because my pc is slow and stuff like that? Anyways, would appreciate it if someone had a solution or have had the same experience after the patch.

Has happened to me more times than I can count. Probably the worst bug in tf2 in terms of how common and how annoying it is.

This happens to a scout on my team almost every scrim, and it used to happen to me before i switched gfx configs, which fixed it kinda.

I haven't had it happen during a match but it's really disruptive and discouraging.

One reason why I come back again and complain about this, is how poorly the "fix" is when you're doing p-rec. Basically, when you're recording demos, you have to stop the demo, record a new one and then stop that one. P-rec is basically for no use because of this.

Sometimes an invisible player will kill you, and the kill cam will show some random part of the map

Not trying to defend them but Valve definitely did something to try and fix this bug, as I haven't noticed an invisible player since the update last year. But evidently Valve only partially fixed it. Something to think about is that if I'm no longer seeing invisible players, maybe Valve haven't noticed the problem as well.

I know they don't always listen but if they notice several complaints about the same thing they should do something about it. This is probably one of the worst bugs to happen to this game and if Valve doesn't think invisible players is a problem and ignores complaints they aren't going to be doing themselves any favours, so I strongly recommend everyone who has noticed invisible players sends the TF2 team an email.

I also suggest re-installing and seeing if that fixes the problem, as this bug is definitely less common than it used to be.

EDIT: I've noticed a few invisible players the past week, I think the update on the 11th/12th fucked something up again. Only other thing is I installed a new HUD last week, but I don't see how changing HUD can cause invisible players?

I'm gonna reinstall TF2 in a couple days and see if that fixes it, I'll update this post again with results if I remember to.
