Hi, I've noticed that when some but not all of a player's HUD elements such as health and ammo disappear; the prevailing advice given is that you need to die and respawn for it to fix its-self.
This is partially true, dying and respawning does fix it but it's not necessary. You can alternatively just refresh via demo recording.
If you are using an auto-recorder of some kind you will need to input the following in your developer console*:
- stop
- record test
If you are not using an auto-recorder for demos, you should follow the same instructions but in reverse*:
- record test
- stop
* the recording can be named anything, you don't have to use "test'. It's more convenient for me to illustrate.
Of course this means that you will have to stop somewhere safely to do this and if the admins request your demo it will be a little more annoying but it sure beats throwing away your life with uncertainty during a match.

the ammo disappearing bug is also fixed when you inspect your teammate ! you can use this to avoid stopping your demos!

milliethe ammo disappearing bug is also fixed when you inspect your teammate ! you can use this to avoid stopping your demos!
The OP is in reference to the bug where both are absent which seems to stem from a different issue. It's not fixed by just inspecting a teammate as far as I am aware. This works when only your ammo is missing.
