Keeps spawning in R15 in Studio despite R6 settings

Hi. Basically I need R6 because the game is designed for R6 Rigs. I’ve set the game settings to R6 but it keeps appearing as R15 in Studio when I play test and has been doing so for the past few days now. I haven’t done anything that makes the character R15. Really really annoying bug. Cant use animate etc. Please fix it

Ive been having this issue too, but it only happens sometimes and fixes when I die or reset.

Thanks for the report! We’ll follow up when we have an update for you.

Currently happening in a newly-created Experience of mine. I haven’t had this happen to me yet in any long-existing places. Seems to be inconsistent; sometimes I spawn as R6, sometimes as R15.

Notes:

  • It’s possible that it may have something to do with recently-created experiences as this has not happened to me in any pre-existing experiences.

  • Resetting seems to respawn you as R6.

I’ve been having the same issue, in all experiences, regardless of template used.

I have the same issue it’s random, and when it happens, I need to replay 4-5 times to spawn correctly in R6 mode in the studio. This occurs across all my experiences, even those from 2022 without any updates

having similar issues here. replaying fixes it, so it seems to be some sort of roblox service issue

Yes, this problem definitely exists, and as a developer working with R6 games, it’s extremely inconvenient for me. I have to write a separate script that either kills the player upon spawning or assigns a StarterCharacter

I encountered this problem yesterday. I uninstalled Roblox Studio, and the first time I open it after reinstalling, it loads the correct R6. However, if I stop the game and start it again, it always switches back to R15. Every time I reset my character, it also switches back to R6.

Same Thing, exactly the same problem.

hi all! trying to look into this issue. is this happening to your games that are published / saved to roblox? and what are the exact steps you take to repro?

I can reproduce it as follows:

  1. I make a new experience from this “New Experience” button in the Studio client:

  2. Once the place opens in Studio, I hit “Game Settings”, and create a new place that belongs to a group. This causes Roblox Studio to open the newly made group place

  3. I change the “Avatar Type” to “R6” and “Animation” to “Standard”. I save these changes.

  4. Hitting play in Studio now sometimes makes the avatar R6, sometimes R15 when I spawn

  5. After saving and publishing the changes, my avatar is still sometimes R6 and sometimes R15 when hitting play in Studio

issue is happening again for new studio games. just made one and it happened again.

For me it usually happens under poor network conditions (most cases when it takes too long to load). Probably it timing out and using R15 as a fallback.
… which is really stupid.

This issue happens to me often, usually more often in poorer network, but it still does sometimes happen even with good internet. It doesn’t correct back to R6, just keeps me as R15, requiring me to stop and hit play again until it comes back to R6.

I published it to Roblox and it’s working as intended on the game itself, but on the studio it completely hinders my ability to code since I need the character to be R6. :smiling_face_with_tear:

yes, its happening to me too, but only on games that were created recently, for me specifically it happens on a game from a group i do not own, the studio was simply created, and changed in settings to r6, completly uninstalling the studio and installing again makes it work as a r6 studio, but just once, as soon as i hit stop and start again it goes back to r15

This has been happening to me as well, Im not sure if this is a bug or roblox silently forcing players to switch over to r15
