i noticed the hands disappearing as well and not being able to use plasmids, etc. not sure what caused this. what i did was let something wail on me and kill me then i respawned with all my stuff back available. it seemed to happen when i added TONS AND TONS of plasmids to my slots.
best,
Cal
After playing around for a bit I found that this bug happens to me every time I use the scout plasmid.
The scout plasmid activates a kind of ghost mode that allows you to use a single plasmid on an enemy before sending you back to your body so i'm guessing one of the options is stopping the scout plasmid from finishing correctly after you have used a plasmid successfully.
So far using the scout plasmid is the only thing i've seen that causes the bug nearly every time.
EDIT: Ah just read your latest post, seems like a game bug then, although it does seem more common with the trainer active.

I ran into the same problem and I’m only using the life, eve and no reload cheats (1, 2 and *) so i don't think the plasmids have anything to do with it. There is a very good chance this is just a bug in the game, the fact that it's running at all (especially after the Bioshock 1 launch) is pretty impressive on its own.
As for the trainer and steam, so far no probs (with the options I’m using).
Thanks for the fix though, tried reloading before checking here and that didn't fix it. So time to get myself killed
That is correct. It is a glitch in the game which will be fixed in the next update of the game. Several of us notified 2K about it. They will be working on a fix in the coming days/weeks. It should not affect Trainer use, however.
