Can be confirmed.

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

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.

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.

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.
