Invisible Players Bug

I’ve submitted a ticket to steam support with regards to the Invisible players bug and I now need to submit some evidence.

You can help get Valve to fix this bug by posting in this thread saying that you have experienced the invisible players bug and when you first noticed it.

A simple one sentence reply saying you have experienced the bug would help prove to Valve that this is a real bug that people would like to be fixed.

I will be linking the person I am talking through tech support to this thread – who then may pass it onto the TF2 team.

Thanks.

UPDATE #1 - Reply from Tech Support.

I have forwarded both threads to the TF2 team.

Once I hear back from them I will update your ticket here.

UPDATE #2 - Reply from Tech Support.

The TF2 team is looking into it and working to fix it. Stay tuned for updates on the TF2 blog.

If you have any further questions, please let us know - we will be happy to assist you.

UPDATE #3 - It's fixed! (March 27, 2013)

An update to Team Fortress 2 has been released. The update will be applied automatically when you restart Team Fortress 2. The major changes include:
Fixed a bug that caused invisible players in the world
Fixed Engineer bots in Mann Vs. Machine building disposable sentries that upgrade into tiny, red, level 3 sentries
Added the Ready Steady Pan tournament medal for Season 2
Fixed the Festive Axtinguisher, The Disciplinary Action, The Wanga Prick, and The Wrap Assassin sometimes floating in the world after death
Removed the promotion restrictions from Croft's Crest, The Fortune Hunter, and The Tomb Wrapper
Updated Mvm_Bigrock to fix a hole in the terrain
Community requests:
Added new inputs for the tf_logic_koth entity: SetRedTimer, SetBlueTimer, AddRedTimer, AddBlueTimer
Added a "team" field to the teamplay_flag_event game event to identify which flag the event is for

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.

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

Cro0Ked_send them the link to a cast starting where the bug shows up

Already done this.

His reply:

Do you have links to the reports of this occurring for other users on the forums or community?

And so this thread was born.

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

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 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.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yc2pn7EuTSQ

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 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.

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.
