New Servers Not Respecting Avatar Type

I believe this is a Roblox-wide critical bug, but in case it’s specific to my game, I’m not going to set the title as such. Please let me know and I’ll add “CRITICAL” if this is (edit: done).

Without updating my experience, I’ve noticed that new characters are spawning as R6 avatars despite my Avatar Settings set to R15. This is really bad, as this completely breaks my game since it assumes avatars are R15. I have LoadCharacterAppearance set to off.


Here is the link to our game where this is happening in live servers: Sentinel // AI Uprising - Roblox

Expected behavior

Avatar Type to be respected as R15 when selected as R15.

Also happening to us in RoCitizens. Seems urgent.

Can vouch, this is easily replicatable by play testing in a studio with a predetermined R15 avatar type. Seems that a good 70% of the time it will force R6.

Just tried RoCitizens - I spawned in as R6, hovering above the ground with no animations. My animation was stuck a ‘jump’, wasn’t able to move. Everyone who could move is just hovering above the ground without any apparent animations otherwise.

The custom Walk/Run animations in my game randomly got replaced with an ugly r15 default walk animation, I made no changes leading to this happening.

@koob85 Apologies that this keeps popping up, is this still happening? It seems we now understand exactly what was causing this whereas before we weren’t totally sure.
