Slow loading skin

How long does it take for the skins to load? Do they actually load in the end? 

1 minute

I have been experiencing this issue recemtly on Xbox v 1.20.41.

When loading a world I often see the message Loading Appearance, followed shortly after by Appearance is taking too long to load. Proceeding with world generation. (the time between the two messages varies, sometimes just seconds between, up to 30 seconds or more)

Sometimes there is a pause in gameplay some minutes after the world loads when my skin finally loads.

I have had this issue both with classic skins and Character Creator skins. Default skins seem to load normally. I don't remember this being an issue on earlier versions.

Is this still an issue in the latest release? Please check your internet connection, as longer/slower loading times are to be expected from users who may have a weaker or poorer connection.

Are only the dressing room skins taking a long time to load, or are all the skins and items in the character creator also affected? Does your character skin load on the main menu?

Please provide your device specifications if the issue persists.
