The official client does not load my skin or other players’ skins on servers.

Description:

When joining servers, my skin appears as Steve/Alex, and I cannot see other players’ skins either.

Steps I have tried to fix the issue:

  • Restarting Minecraft

  • Clearing skin cache

  • Forcing texture reload (F3+T)

  • Creating a new profile in the Launcher

  • Reinstalling Minecraft

Result:

All attempts failed. The problem persists only on my official client. Other players can see my skin correctly.

Environment

Windows 11, official Minecraft Launcher, version 1.21.8, no mods, stable internet connection

This has been happening to me since 1.21.1. All skin in game are set to one of the 9 default textures and my skin only renders as Noor. This happens regardless of launcher/how I try to set my skin. The main launcher also returns an error whenever I try to put on a cape.
