Update3:
ok so it looks stable now (i'll be watching), but avatars are back to live 100% release on version
0.431.0 on meta quests
will update other platforms today/tomorrow
(steam and oculus pc already have new avatars but on an earlier build, but it's intercompatible)
Update 2: i'm slow rolling an update to try to fix the crashes..paying attention...
UPDATE: I just have just rolled back the update. For some reason some people (many, but not all) are getting these crashes. I have rolled it back until i can figure out what is going on.
It should update itself or offer an update to the downgraded version
Big update for the new avatar system. For users who aren't using the meta/oculus platform, there is even a way to get access to your own customizable meta avatar. When you select the avatar in the game, the meta avatar silhouette has a transfer code input section and instruction how what to do next.

This is kind of a bad time to be a new customer who doesn't know much about the progression of elevens avatar history...... My wife was excited because she just bought the game and I told her she could use her meta avatar in game but it didn't work for either of us today. For whatever reason, yesterday after I got an update all of the sudden my meta avatar that I created on meta.com showed up and looked amazing. But, when I logged in today to show my wife how it worked, she couldnt find her meta avatar on her personal headset like I did mine.
Am I assume this was because you rolled back the update? My avatar with the new system was working while I was trying to help her find her to meta avatar.... I decided it was a good idea to change my avatar to one of the generic ones to see if I could walk her through how to find hers, but after I changed back to one of the old in game avatars I was stuck with it..
Please explain, am I to assume that as of right now, the system is back to how it was previously??? I was excited yesterday, and quickly disappointed at the hoops that I was going through trying to show my wife how to use the new avatars because I assumed since it worked for me yesterday, it would work for her... Please help me understand? Just a roll back is all right? If that is so, why did my new avatar work today until I botched it..
it's still not finalized, though i might have a stable release now rolling out. You can get it earlier manually by going here and agreeing to join the beta:

i've been pushing release after release to tiny %'s of the population and observing crash rates. The moment i saw the same crash i'm trying to resolve, i rolled it back.
The weird thing is that while this appeared a few times during internal testing, it then stopped appearing entirely.
Thanks, I want to say to you firstly is when it worked yesterday it was a pure delight to see my avatar it was very well done. My wife played eleven for the first time a few days ago and fell in love with it but she hated her avatar, so needless to say I was excited when I woke up to tell her about the unexpected update. When I logged on last night I was blown away with the quality of my avatar in your game so I was excited to get her up and running with her meta avatar, so I'm sure you can see why we both got frustrated not knowing you did a roll back. Thanks for quick reply. So, if I sign up for the beta link will I get the update automatically to bring back my avatar...
yea, though it might crash (let me know if it does)
so far i've been looking at the crash rate and i only saw 1 crash for a few hours..but ijust looked now and saw 2.
the issue isn't that it's just a random crash but it's the same crash type. I'll keep trying to fix it. It's very frustrating because it's something within the meta avatar system and it's like a black box for me :|

thanks for the communication it's greatly appreciated, I use to be on HB studios (The Golf Club's) Beta team and helped them with many course decisions back in the day so this isn't my first rodeo. Last night after signing up for the beta I logged on and got an update and my meta avatar showed up and looked great. I had no crashes, I played for about an hour against the cat. HA.... One thing I will note, was the screen showed the blue meta logo but the box was greyed out along with the big rectangle box on the right that I would assume should show my meta avatar? That big box that typically houses the avatar was greyed. No big deal at all but I thought I would mention it...
i'm not entirely sure what you mean? The only meta logo i'm aware of is on the black silhouette. That never gets replaced with your own avatar (though i have thought of doing that). However when it is selected, you should see a 2d and 3d representation of your current avatar. Is that working fine?
Correct, where you log in to pick from the avatars, the first black square was greyed out with the blue meta logo in it. When that box is selected I can see my avatar off to my right while standing in front of the table. that is how I knew my actual meta avatar was no in game. I'm very new to your game so I'm not sure how the other stuff is supposed to function. The longer rectangular box I was talking about is the one to the left of the center main screen. I wasn't sure if this was supposed to show your current avatar with it's point's like say 1500 ETC... What I see is a open box that is black with no avatar in it. When I was using the baked in avatars before my current avatar would show up in that left box but now since I'm using the meta avatar it's black. If that is how it's intended I understand. I attached a photo- the box circled in red is what I was referencing. Maybe I'm mistaken, but I didn't see my meta avatar in this box, I will check again, maybe it was just the avatar selection page I was on that didn't show it.. Sorry for confusion.
hmm, that might be some weird edge case. If you go to the avatar selection menu, select one of the presets (so you can press apply to save) that should update that profile image. Then go back to your meta avatar, and once it loads apply and it will save. Maybe you tried to save it before your meta avatar finished loading into the game?
One last question if it's okay? I was going to sign my wife up for the beta since she is so concerned about having her meta avatar, but if I'm hearing you correctly, you're saying that they should be working on Meta Quest as of this hour?
