Hey, it’s 2025 and I still get this issue sometimes, just happened when I create a place and set the avatar type to R6 but I keep spawning as R15. Only “fix” I got here was closing the place and opening again but it stills randomly happens. Very odd.

Hey, out of curiosity, are you using a TeamCreate place?

#50

Are you asking if it’s enabled? If so, yes, TeamCreate is enabled.
But there nobody was in the session, it was just me.

#51

I think turning off TeamCreate might fix your issue, especially if you are the only user working on your place. Otherwise, please hold until we can release another updated fix.

still happening to mee, but it seems like it’s a loading problem not only from the player’s character but the whole place

This issue just got absolutely terrible for me.

4/5 attempts to start a test spawns me in r15 instead of r6.

You can try using a StarterCharacter R6 rig and loading their character appearance in manually using a script, that’s what I did in my case to avoid any issues this could cause in the future

i found a solution, uninstall and re install studio

Hello, are you using teamcreate?

#57

I have gotten the issue while using team create. (and while not using it if I remember correctly)
Additionally it only happens when you click Play (f5) or Play Here (No keybind)
As soon as you reset your player reverts back into r6.

I am sure you have already found some of this info from other but I just wanted to relay it back in case you didn’t

Hi, just to update everyone:
Our previous fix ended up breaking other people’s experience, so we’ve hopefully made another fix that’ll go live next week. Sorry for all the trouble :sob::sob::sob::sob:

Oh, thanks for the news, because some of my scripts broke ( support R6 and R15; only R6 was working), and I was wondering what it could be.

#62

Yes, I am using team create with a friend.

By default, the Playtesting Session in Studio spawns R15 characters at the beginning when the system haven’t realized the actual Default Rig Type yet.

To fix this, you can simply delay the the character spawning.

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
    task.wait(0.5) -- Anytime is ok as long as enough time is given to the system
    plr:LoadCharacter()
end
