This bug is ruining my life and needs to be fixed ASAP.

I've seen medics unable to save players with uber because they couldn't see them.

i'm a victim of the bug, my medics let me die because they cant see me. please fix, thanks

i only experience it myself when speccing, not while playing if that helps. dx8, chris's config, etc., been going on for at least 2 months

We got some funny guys, eh? YOU THINK THIS IS A JOKE!?

But really, please post serious replies, I have put the time into getting this message through Valve's thick skulls and now I've made progress they want me to submit evidence that I am not the only one experiencing a problem.

So if you guys post seriously they might actually pay attention and fix this.

It affects me, and it's annoying. You can still see weapons and hats and stuff, but when you just glance at it you won't even know it's there.

Also, there's a bug where items will just float in one place.

I'll try to get pictures of both of these next time I see them.

send them the link to a cast starting where the bug shows up

I have a replay of an in-air reflect airshot and all i can see in third person is a heart and my weapon

I experience this bug, along with everyone on my team last season.

i don't think so, i haven't seen any invisible players...

wait... crap

but seriously, it seems to happen at least once in every tf.tv cast, i'd have thought there would be tons of examples floating around

Already done this.

His reply:

And so this thread was born.

one time I spawned and couldn't see anybody on my team, just random rockets exploding against walls

a temporary solution for people who may not be aware of it:
bind key "record bugfix;stop" ,this usually fixes it for me

it happens to me quite a bit, both the "characters turning invisible but still having cosmetics" thing and the general demo fuckery

yep, happens to me regularly as well

I hate this bug, sometimes I can't see one or more of my teammates. All it allows me to see if there weapons and accessories, which in some cases is just a weapon. I know many people who play without aesthetics. I hope this gets fixed soon.

I've been experiencing this bug since the Christmas update.

I've experienced completely invisible players (which is fixed by recording and stopping a demo), and I've experienced the somewhat newer bug of only being able to see cosmetics. It's really annoying and it'd be wonderful if it could be fixed.

Also, floating particle affects (from hats, flamethrowers, etc.) and floating cosmetics is another annoying glitch.

Been on both ends of the bug. Recorded a particularly funny moment with it.

The conversation then turned to misogyny, then homophobia, and then cross-dressing.

Do you see what your bugs are doing to this game, Valve?!

I have been experiencing the bug too.

This x1000

I often run into invisible models of players on my own team, and the other. I previously experience in a lobby yesterday, while playing demo, a medic that said i was invisible and i was unable to get buffs on my rollouts or any other times. I'll also often see enemy models be invisible and I am unable to shoot the target cause i cant see him.

Can't they just play their own game for 5 minutes to see it themselves? Its been 3 months.

Invisible players bug gave me cancer.

happened during a match....

sometimes i get a glitch where a teamate will be all invisible except hat and gun. i kinda like this because it allows me to see grenades and rockets through them. I think valve should impliment this as a client cvar

It's only happened to me with teammates once or twice, but I've seen and heard of it from the rest of my team.

Dear Valve,

This invisible player glitch happens to me on a near daily basis. Please fix it before worrying about more cosmetic items. I'm pretty sure this is more relevant to gameplay.

Thanks.

This happens to me pretty much every time I play.

I've had both team-mates and enemy players invisible multiple times, please fix this valve, its annoying.
