Funnel Runners known issues after Patch #009
Patch #009 fixed several crash, sewage-pit, item, protection, and audio problems, but its own current list still names server or invitation trouble, menu performance, invisible skins, tornado clipping or invalid throws, and lightning inside newer points of interest. Start with that current list before applying an older workaround.

Invisible workbench items

Triage
Use a current report path
Confirm the current build
Let Steam finish pending updates and compare the issue with the latest official news.
Match the exact symptom
Separate connection, performance, visibility, clipping, throw-location, and lightning problems.
Try one reversible check
Use the relevant guide and avoid stacking unrelated network, registry, or security changes.
Record a short reproduction
Include build, map state, item or menu involved, and the shortest repeatable sequence.
Check the next official note
A bug leaving a later known-issues list is not proof of a fix unless the patch or direct testing establishes it.
