Description

AWP outfit gets out of shape after switching between Male C and Female C a few times

Reproduction steps
  1. UserA, log in and observe UserB. (I was observing with a 2025.04 Release viewer)
  2. UserB, Drag the "Male body - C" onto your avatar, then drag the "Female body - C" onto your avatar.
  3. Repeat step 2 three more times.

Observed: The observer sees the female outfit's chest is getting more deformed each time and the forehead is too high. The avatar looks normal on the machine changing the outfits.

Image

Expected: The avatar should look the same for everyone.

Workaround: The outfit looks normal to the observer after either the observer or the person changing outfits relogs.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with the listed viewer versions: switch between the Male body - C and Female body - C outfits repeatedly while observing the avatar from another client. Compare the observer's appearance with the outfit-changing client's appearance; done means repeated switches leave the remote avatar correctly shaped without requiring a relog.
