Old Bug Report: Some Catalog Items don't load in some regions - such as Catalog 382537569 "Black Jeans" by Roblox resulting in "unavailable"

Description

I kept seeing these, where also probably Roblox should improve how saved outfits should display if they’re bugged out

Because these aren’t very informative :thinking:

 

There’s this old Catalog Asset ID that Roblox uploaded which doesn’t seem to be loading anymore.

What happened to it?

Re-production Steps

Expected Result

It loads the catalog item properly.

Actual Result

It redirects you back to Catalog, but it resolves the Catalog Item Name first in the URL.

Issue still happens.

You can try to generate a thumbnail of this Outfit ID 6374337718 to confirm that the affected catalog item is still broken.

Just note that, a few API responses, or whatever instances of Roblox Servers exist, one of them seems to return an actual thumbnail of the outfit, even though it shouldn’t because the affected catalog item is “in custody” at the moment. But that might be a different bug.

Here is also a video from mobile.

this is also happening to me as well with my classic clothing assets

If it would be my guess.

or nvm

@itsvirtuosa
Does the Black Jeans link work for you or not?

Please, make sure you’re not connected to a VPN.

The link doesn’t seem to work in Switzerland.
But apparently works in Germany. It seems to work in the United States.

This is why @starhiker13 said they couldn’t re-produce it. Maybe the issue is only on specific regions, shards whatever it is.

And maybe this is not the only Catalog Item that is affected.

Closed this for a better edited Bug Report.

It works for me, but same issue with me, i can access my links by vpn but only on some locations, but i cant with my own origin, however with vpn the catalog item images dont load for me so using roblox with vpn is useless

Which assets or can you add them in this post?

I only found 2 to 3 servers, that were bugged. But maybe there are other that have different assets bugged.

here the showcase of the one asset im facing issue with along with theres more clothing assets from my own group not showing up for me

Hi HealthyKarl,
That Roblox item was indeed incorrectly restricted in your region and has been fixed now. Thanks for the report, and let us know if you are still seeing the issue!

It’s fixed now, thanks! It’s strange that it happened. I wonder if there were other items affected.

Was it automatic or manual? Because I couldn’t ever tell if something triggered this. I only know it happened after one day passed.

there are many catalog items uploaded from creators that are restricted in many different regions, please look into it as it is not only affecting roblox items but items of many many creators and its affecting overall sales !
