Can also confirm this is happening to me as well. It is especially annoying to have to redo my skin every time I load the game up

Positive.

 

Just like described and shown in the video.

It doesn't matter when you leave the game either, so it can’t be that the game needs time to save it.

Happening to me, as well.

Am also dealing with this bug. It's annoying because my skin is only built for the Slim model Arms, so if I use the classic arm model, it has empty gaps all over the skin's arms.

X1Crafts

For those without access to third-party archiving tools you can do this:

  1. Download the mcpack from the pinned comment and rename the extension from .mcpack to .zip

  2. extract the now renamed file (MCPE-186591.zip) to any location (Ex: C:\Users%username%\Desktop)

  3. Follow steps 2, 3, and 4 of KejuGorenk's workaround tutorial.

Experiencing the same issue, except:

  • Skin models change to classic upon joining servers/realms as well from what I've seen.

  • The skin doesn't adjust to the model/changes properly, leading to gaps in the texture. The skins I use display fine on both classic/slim when I use them in Java (instead of only being made for slim), so I'm not sure why that's happening.

  • The workaround is no longer working (playing v1.21.51); I get a popup stating it's not a valid zip archive. It has been changed to .mcpack and I double-checked by unzipping it that I did everything right, so that's interesting.

_EnderGuy_

whoever patched this issue didnt patch it because since february i have been having the exact opposite of this where all of my wide skins will default to slim every time and i need to delete and reimport them whenever i open the game. please either reverse the change or actually fix this bug.

Wilson Sanchez

Definitely not resolved, mi skin is wide and every time I restart the game it sets back to slim, wich makes it look awkward since its designed for 4 pixels in the arms.

Every time I must reload de skin file so the game let me select between wide and slim.
