Avatar mismatch when viewing a user's main menu profile
complete
Salbug
When accessing the main menu profile of another user within the same instance, their avatar undergoes an automatic reload from your point of view upon opening the menu. However, this process can lead to a discrepancy in the avatars displayed. Specifically, if the user has switched avatars at any time, the automatic reload may revert them to their previous avatar locally (or the first avatar they were using upon instance entry). Consequently, while the user perceives themselves correctly, you yourself may see them represented by the wrong avatar.

[1400] Some players show up wrong scale
lackofbindings
Havent found a consistent repro yet but since switching to the beta some players are just at the wrong scale. Seemingly always too small. Affected players appear too small and floating above the ground.
No current workaround is known. Hiding and showing avatar has no effect.
More details to come as discovered.

Hello! Thanks for reporting this. Is the mismatch between Open Beta users and live users? Are the issues mainly happening with fallback avatars?

StormRel: From what I have seen this issue is some what related to the issue where the Avatar reloads when you open someones Main Menu Profile.
I hade a few versions of this issue:
- Someone was the wrong scale, but it got corrected to the correct Scale once I opened their Main Menu User Profile.
- Someone was the correct scale but they were scaled down when I opened their Main Menu User Profile.
Both of these players were on Open Beta.

StormRel: I don't see any correlation to whether users are beta vs live. I was the only one of my group on beta last night and the issue was visible with a few random users over the course of the few hours I was on. Changing worlds returns the players to their actual scale. No fallbacks were present.

It seems this can also cause discrepancies with avatar scaling as well.

[1400] Avatar reloads when profile is opened
Buddy_DE
- Be in an instance with other people.
- Open their profile, their avatar gets reloaded every time their profile page is opened. (Where the new Avatar Details button got added in this build.)
It also happens on my own profile, where that button doesn't exist.
