GetUserThumbnailAsync not working client sided with Scoped User Id

Bug Reports Engine Bugs

When calling the Players:GetUserThumbnailAsync() API on the client side using a Scoped User, it does not work as expected.

From observation, it seems the User Id is not being appended to the rbxthumb:// string and is instead defaulting to 0, causing the thumbnail to be blank.

This behaviour is only present client sided, and works as normal when GetUserThumbnailAsync is used in a server script instead.

Example code used:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local Gui = script.Parent
local ImageLabel = Gui:WaitForChild("ImageLabel")

local success, Thumbnail, IsReady = pcall(function()
	return Players:GetUserThumbnailAsync(
		Players.LocalPlayer.User,
		Enum.ThumbnailType.AvatarBust,
		Enum.ThumbnailSize.Size180x180
	)
end)

if success then
	ImageLabel.Image = Thumbnail
end

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create a ScreenGui in StarterGui including an ImageLabel and a LocalScript
  2. Insert the example code above inside the LocalScript
  3. Run the game
  4. The ImageLabel will be blank instead of showing the thumbnail.
