How to fix the issue of invisible NPCs and weird black texture on the rifle
By Rubenjackson
Every year, this problem has been experienced by many people. To this day, some players still suffer from it. A glitch that affects the gameplay and makes the game look weird.

Since there is no guide on how to fix this problem, I have offered to provide a solution so that everyone can enjoy the game and not have to refund it for this reason.

As you will see, the image shows a floating weapon handled by an NPC who is invisible. Without forgetting that when handling our rifle, strange black and gray textures appear that annoy the player, even when aiming with the sight of the weapon.
This certainly bothers a lot and makes one lose the desire to play.

However, everything can be fixed.

So here I am going to show you how to fix this problem.
Problem solution
You will need to run the game first. Once inside the game, follow each of these steps:
You must first enter Options.


Then enter the Video option.


Then enter the Basic option.


And finally once you have entered the Basic option, these 5 options will appear.

I have the options configured in this way, because since my graphics card is low-end, I cannot demand much from it.
If you have high-end graphics cards, you will be able to max out all of these options.
Well, I'm drifting off topic.

To fix the issue where invisible NPCs appear with their weapons and the weird black and gray textures that are annoying on the player's rifle, you will need to change the Directx option:

If you have DirectX 11 enabled, change it to 9.


If you had DirectX 9 enabled, then change it to 11.


Whether you choose one or the other, it is recommended to exit the game so that the change has been applied successfully.
Once this is done, run the game again. Start any campaign mission and if all went well, the problem should be gone.

The flickering you're experiencing in-game is most likely due to a display driver issue or an incompatible app.
Anyway, here is a solution to see if you can get it fixed:

In case it did not work for you, here is a video that explains how to fix the problem:

However, if the game gives you problems when enabling the Directx 9 option, you can change it to Directx 11.
Here are the three solutions. If any of them work for you, then you will be able to play the game without any problem.
