Sometimes players can go invisible due to an engine bug, or some other kind of bug such as crit effects floating in air.
You can fix this by following the guide below; (for those who are 2lazy to read, just do record fix;stop in console.)
  1. Locate Team Fortress 2 on your Steam Library
  2. Right click on Team Fortress 2, then press Properties.
  3. Head to the Local Files tab.
  4. press Browse Local Files....
  5. Head to your config folder in /tf/cfg/
  6. Open autoexec.cfg with notepad (create one if you don't have it)
  7. Paste the code below & save:
// Fix for stuff that can break (invisible players, floating hats, etc.)
// bind KP_INS "record fix; stop; snd_restart; hud_reloadscheme; heartbeat" // snd_restart = restart sound system
bind KP_INS "record fix; stop"
When you press 0 on your numpad, it will execute the command above, which should fix the annoying invisible players bug.
Sound problems can be fixed too by including the snd_restart command in the cfg.
