Face is wrong when loading a character with humanoid description

I used to be able to make bug reports but I guess not anymore.

I’m using this block of code to give me an avatar with the awkward eyeroll face

game.Players.CharacterAutoLoads = false
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local description = Instance.new("HumanoidDescription")
	
	description.Head = 112972242133207
	description.HeadColor = Color3.new(1, 1, 1)
	
	player:LoadCharacterWithHumanoidDescriptionAsync(description)
end)

It does give me the correct head/face, but the expression is completely broken and I tested with other faces and they all have varying issues.

I do have a solution in mind but I wanted to do it the intended way, so it’s a little frustrating. I’m not sure if I’m just setting the dynamic head incorrectly or what.

The issue is likely because you are manually setting the Head ID but not handling how HumanoidDescription handles face textures or dynamic heads. If you’re trying to use a dynamic head, just setting the ID on the description often breaks the texture mapping for the face decal.

What would be the correct way to do it? I tried looking into if it was the Face property but it is set to 0.
