Call of Duty: Warzone players have discovered that a nearly invisible issue is still plaguing the game, less than a week after Raven Software released a patch to fix it.
Images of the issue in action have been shared on Reddit (via VGC). While the player's head was visible and could take damage and die, most of the player's body was invisible. It is also not known exactly what skin they were wearing at the time.
Originally, this issue seemed to affect only the "Awoken" Francis skin, which Raven Software said was fixed in a patch released on January 5th.
Raven is aware that the issue is still there and has acknowledged it on her Trello page. She doesn't mention which skins are affected, she just says "Players are reporting that some skins appear invisible when in-game."

Employees have been told that their termination was not the result of poor performance or committing termination violations, and despite the fact that Call of Duty: Warzone continues to generate considerable profits.
The quality control team is now in its fifth week of strike action. In a statement to Gamesindustry.biz on January 6, Activision said that "Raven's management has entered into a dialogue with its staff to listen to concerns and explain the company's overall investment in development resources." However, the strikers say none of this happened.
