All of you might have experienced two annoying problems with TF2. One of them is getting stuck in spectator, the other is being killed by invisible players.
No worries, here are the solutions to these problems. To do either, you must first be able to access the Console in the game.
Enabling the console
In the game, click on Options.
You will see the keyboard options. Click on Advanced.
Click on Enable developer console checkbox.
Fixing Invisible Players
This bug happens if you alt-tab out of the game or the game loses focus (another program comes ontop of TF2) when playing the game Full Screen.
To fix this, while in a match, press tilde (~) to go to the Console.
In the console, type in: record fix
Press Enter or click Submit.
Wait a few seconds, then in the console, type in: stop
Press Enter or click Submit.
This will fix the problem. Press tilde again to exit the console and return to the game.
You can avoid the problem entirely by playing the game in Windowed mode.
Fixing being stuck in Spectator without having to re-join the server.
This happens if you try to join a team and end up being in Spectator mode that you seemingly can't escape from.
To fix this, while being stuck, press tilde (~) to go to the Console.
In the console, type in: kill; jointeam red
You can also type in: kill; jointeam blue
Press Enter or click Submit.
Press tilde to exit the console.
The game will either assign you to the team you indicated, to the team that is free, on bring you back to the team selection screen.
Either way, you will no longer be stuck in spectator.

The last one also helps with being stuck as a Civilian.
