My game (Game Discovery Hub), stared showing errors when updating game’s data, because the “universeAvatarType” from the games.roblox.com/v1/games?universeIds=[UniverseIds] is now set to null, for every game that I’ve tested
I’ve confirmed that, for my (abandoned) game BloxBox, which is set to R6 in the avatar settings, “universeAvatarType” is still null
From swagger UI, with this request url: https://games.roblox.com/v1/games?universeIds=2247152045

I’m thinking it could be because of the recent avatar settings update
This issue started happening somewhere in the last 12 hours
Expected behavior
I expect universeAvatarType to be set to “MorphToR6”, “MorphToR15” or “PlayerChoice”/“MorphToPlayerChoice”?
I’m basing it off of my code I used to shorten it. In my existing data, I see “R6”, “R15”, and “PlayerChoice”, as the AvatarType field. For all I know, it could be “PlayerChoice” instead of “MorphToPlayerChoice”
GameTable.AvatarType = string.gsub(GameData.universeAvatarType,"MorphTo","",1)
Interestingly, the documentation and swagger UI states that universeAvatarType is supposed to be a number? From my code using that api, that doesn’t make sense
