PC Info: Windows 11 23H2
Date First Experienced: 12/15/2023
Date Last Experienced: 12/22/2023

Reproduction Steps:

Open the “Roblox Studio” or “Roblox Launcher” does not matter
Click to “Play”
Go to the “Command Bar” or “Developer Console”
Paste this code game:GetService("AvatarEditorService"):PromptSetFavorite(game.PlaceId, Enum.AvatarItemType.Asset, true)

Here is a photo of that showing the issue:

Exptected Behavior: the image quality should be good
Actual Behavior: the image is look so compressed, poor quality, pixelated.

Also lemme add note. the quality of the image is so bad because. its getting game “thumbnail image”. it should be get “game icon image”. I guess?

Is that the game’s icon or one of the thumbnails? The image should use the icon.

i am thinking same way with you. i guess the bug is its getting game “thumbnail image” instead of “icon image”

its not expected behaviour cos this function was never intended for games

kaan650 · January 10, 2024, 5:23pm

Thanks for the report! Just to confirm, we have a ticket filed in our internal database for this issue.

Bumping this issue as it is still not resolved.

If the intended behavior is to show the game icon, then the system should correctly use the game icon instead of the thumbnail, because thumbnails appear extremely low quality and pixelated.

However, if it is supposed to use the thumbnail, then in that case, the thumbnail quality must be improved, as the current resolution is far too low and results in a very poor visual experience.

After review, this seems like a feature request, not a bug. Feature requests should be shared by creating a thread in this category.

According to Avatar Editor Service documentation, AvatarEditorService:PromptSetFavorite() is only intended for use with Avatar Assets and Bundles. PlaceId is not an officially supported use of this API.
