Disconnect and then reconnect to the server to fix this bug
I know its not lag. Seems to be somekind of issue with server/client sync.
I cant do anything, interact with anything, nor players can see me apparently. Yet there is no signs of lagging.
Weird as hell, so far happened only once.

I have had this issue before. I restarted my game and never saw it again.
It is a desync. Your merc is actually chilling back where the desync happened while you think you are someplace else. When it happened to me we were being spawncamped on bridge(generator spawn for attackers) and even though on my screen I was advancing, etc my merc was actually standing still at the spawn zone.
Very weird desync. Happened after several hours of gaming.
This is a server desync. It is a known issue, unfortunately. Only fix I know about is to disconnect and reconnect to the server. You weren’t invisible, your merc was back in spawn just standing there. It is almost like a weird spectate mode where you think you are playing but you are just a ghost moving around the map.
If you were simply invisible, then its a bug, id say a rare one. It happens. During one game my Revivr turned into invisibility device, every1 i revived became invisible for a few seconds, were rather hilarious experience.
If you were unable to interact with anything, like killing or dropping packs or cap points or plant/repair, then its client/server sync issue. either relog or just wait for a minute of so, till it syncs up.
Yeah I was invisible and killing people so they totally thought I was hacking. It was kinda funny that it happened to me the very first game I played, I was thinking “Does the sniper class have the ability to make people invisible or something?”
Of course as soon as I realized I stopped killing people and relogged, but for a second there it was almost like I was good at the game.
Anyway I’d like to report another bug in this thread. Last night on Chapel, this happened:
Fragger’s ghost or something was watching over me the entire game. The next game I joined, it was gone, but the only reason I played the whole match was because it really didn’t bother me too much and I wanted to see if it would go away. Also, I kinda got a kick out of it. Like, whenever I died he was there to look at me with disapproval.
Thanks for responding, guys!
So i was playing competitive match on bridge. I was 1st, 8k xp when suddenly I threw grenade as a fragger and it didn’t even appear. It was wierd and I just went on. Then I started shooting and I didn’t deal any damage. They didn’t shoot back at me so I think, that I was invisible. I couldn’t even suicide (k), speak all chat. I could speak only team chat. It was really akward and I lost competitive game beacuse of that :(… I really don’t know what happend :O. Does anyone know what could it be?
The very first match I ever joined in Dirty Bomb earlier today, I was completely invisible, not at first, but a bit later in the match I think, a few minutes maybe. Was playing as Skyhammer. I was wondering why everyone was just running past me hah, then they went to kick me and I explained. They told me to relog, I did, problem was solved. Not sure how common this is, but I figured I’d report it just in case it helps you guys out. Thanks a bunch, having a blast with the game so far.
i had this bug once to and it made us almost lose the gmae https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUdvifeq9VM i ran with a friend and we would of gotten the plant off if i wasnt desync and i had no way of knowing this.
I was playing as Aura and was just finishing up the first round of a stopwatch game that I realized none of my hits were registering. At first I attributed this to lag since I had previously experienced occasional lag spikes. During the second round I realized that not only could I not hit the enemy, the enemy could not hit me either. The enemy team also seemed oblivious to my presence even when I was standing directly in front of them. The only thing I could use were my defibrillators to revive my team mates and slightly injure enemies as well as place healing stations. The problem went away when I joined a different game.
@hopelessAntelope This is a server desync issue. I have merged it into the correct thread. Thank you for the report.
Never encountered that, but there is a bug section that is more suitable for this I wouls guess. Calling a Mod 
@Ardez
I suspect as soon as u were able to do basically hacker stuff u should have quickly documented the issue and left the game
[A weird Bug story]
As usual me trying to get bloody waterboy mission. Joined a random stop watch and after like 1 min i lagged out, i was flying around (in my screen) and then i pressed K and suicided…
Now things started to get more weird…(i was sparks)
I was able to run around the enemy , and they wont see me. Basically i was invisible (or so i thought), after like 5 mins…My team mates started to scream , why am i still standing on our spawn and not helping…At this point i knew that i was not kicked from the server but merely bugged out… And i started the ‘FUN ROUND’.
I could not damage enemy players, BUT , i could stand on their mines and destroy em, and it wont damage me. I could run around kill health stations , mines and turrets and enemy guys were like ’ WTF HOW DID IT BLOWUP?’. I tried to tell them that it was me, but sadly Y chat wasnt working, but i was able to talk to team mates using U chat… Then out of accident i found out that i could revive my team mates…
And guess what happened next?
I kept running around my teammates and instantly helping them up and giving, basically unlimited HP boxes. For enemies,as well as my team mates , i was just standing on our spawn and not moving. But in my screen, i was running around , reviving team mates, blowing up health stations ,mines and turrets…
Then in the end, everybody was like there is hacker in our match, Because my teammates where getting revived by ‘nothing’ , enemy items were getting blown by ‘nothing’…
If i pickedup the object, in the next instant, the objective would teleport to our spawn (aka on the real me who is stuck on our spawn)…
I know its bug abusing, but i needed that round Since i tried real hard at stage 1 to win that round for mission… In the end, i got about 30k+ Score, 11 kills (0 kills in stage 2) and 25k+ were from support xp …For reviving and healing…
and somehow half of the screenshots i took with steam didnt save, only 5 of em saved D: !
Anybody else had similar experience? My latency was stuck on 104ms !
