(Video) Soul orbs do not render in. Orbs appear invisible or completely black.

[SardineS]

As the title suggests - occasionally soul orbs appear either invisible or black. Not sure of the exact reproduction steps but -

1. Particle effects often visible but not the orb model itself.
2. Orb likely still visible to opponent, often resulting in easy denies.
3. Only happens in online matches. Seems to happen at least once every match.
4. Was not able to reproduce in private online bot matches for some reason.
5. Demos do not reproduce the effect experienced in online matches.

Third video illustrates the 'black' soul orb. This image shows the difference between match and demo review.

I have been having this issue since the Nov 7th patch. Invisible soul orbs. Inconsistent windows of time where I can melee them as well.

I have the same exact bug, appears even between reinstalls. The particle effect appears but the model itself does not. This makes it more of a problem with longer ranges. It's a bug that happens every now-and-then within the same match. In this video the first soul displays this bug but the second does not.

Same thing happening to me, but every game and maybe 5%-20% of all souls. Only happened after Nov 21 patch. Seems to be an issue from 8-15m.
