Things are still the same with us turning into Steve If we go 100+ blocks away from each other but we noticed we appear as Steve immediately if we go through a nether portal. We look like our custom appearances if we press f5 or play single player so it's only a multiplayer thing. We can still reset it by having the host restart the game. We played for weeks with no problems before the update and as soon as the update hit this happened. I'm not sure if any of this info helps. I hope this gets fixed soon

My fiance and I pay money for our skins and we make YouTube videos and stream so it's important that this is working or it effects us making a living. We are out of work if this isn't working as intended. It worked perfectly fine before the update and as soon as our systems were updated this problem showed up. It seems this problem has been around a LONG time. Is there any progress being made on a fix? Is there a way to just revert our versions to before the update?

Ever since the update today my appearance from the marketplace isn't working. It shows in single player just fine and it seems to be working clientside when playing multiplayer but to other people it shows up at the Steve model. My Fiance also looks like Steve when we're playing together but on her own client it shows her appearance. It seems to be ok when we first log in but if we go away from each other and come back it turns into Steve again. This is a huge issue for us because we make YouTube videos together and our characters can't just look like Steve. Everything was working fine before the update.

 We both have "only allow trusted skins" toggled off

We are able to recreate it if we both stand at a location and one of us runs the opposite direction until they "disappear" or "phase out" and as soon they turn around and run back at the other person and "phase in" it turns us both into Steve from the other players view. F5 still shows us as our appearance. The Steve bug stays until the person hosting the world leaves and comes back.
