I finished a match this afternoon where a player on the other team was invisible every time I 'saw' him. He was an assault class and was completely invisible apart from the name appearing.

Is this a known glitch / cheat / server issue?  The map was Bazaar and it was a team death match on UK servers.

Other players on my team also commented so it wasn't just me seeing (wrong word I guess...) an anomaly.

Graphics glitch.

I'm not sure what the trigger is, but it usually disappears once the player dies and respawns as visible. The solution to the invisible man is to kill him.

It's a glitch, and on that thread I posted a video clip of the issue in action while playing with trusted players.  I was the one who was apparently invisible, although I have no clue what could have caused it on my end.

It's an incredibly odd (and highly annoying) issue needless to say.

What Conquistador said.
I've seen this happen a few times, but it does end up going away, occasionally while I'm looking right at the problem.

Ive seen this happen once but it was a member of my team who was invisible. I know it was just me who was seeing this too. The enemy had no problem spotting him.

In that same game, Overwolf was invisible to me as well (I was on Caliber's, the person streaming, team). And I don't believe it went away when Overwolf died because I don't remember him being visible at all that entire game.

This bug has occurred to someone in like 1/10 games I play, but it's pretty significant when it happens.

I've seen this before too, though only once. The player model kind of strobed between visible and invisible like a bad lightbulb on my screen...

I've seen this, but it seemed to resolve itself when I got a Hellfire lock-on, at least for me. And, as stated, death seems to cure it as well.
