Thankfully, there is a very easy way to resolve this ongoing problem. If you’ve been affected by this, it’s almost certain that you’ll be running the game on a PC with an AMD driver.
What appears to have happened is that the latest update for AMD drivers prevents your PC from being able to render your character’s graphics. That is, to say, that the October AMD update is the cause of your silhouetted character.
If you want to resolve this, you’ll have to reinstall the last update, which will be the September 2019 AMD patch. You’ll need to uninstall your current driver first and then download the September 2019 WHQL one from this link.
