"This user has cloning turned off" when switching avis
available in future release
BIGBushido
Description
When I try to switch to one of my avatars(favorited or uploaded), I would get the titled notification a few times before the game would allow me to switch.
Reproduction Steps
Only thing I did was switch avatars after logging in. Usually it would let me switch after 1 or 2 tries.

Although this issue occurs less frequently than before, it still has not been resolved.

[1912] First avatar change after joining a world incorrectly shows “This user has cloning turned off.”
かいざー
### Description
In Open Beta build 1912, after joining a world, the first attempt to change my avatar to one of my own uploaded avatars always displays the following message:
> “This user has cloning turned off.”
This happens even though I am trying to select my own uploaded avatar, not clone another user's avatar.
Clicking the avatar a second time allows the avatar change to complete normally.
I have also seen this message appear in other situations, but I have not yet identified reliable reproduction steps for those cases.
### Steps to reproduce
- Launch VRChat using Open Beta build 1912 in Desktop mode.
- Join a world.
- Open the avatar menu.
- Select one of your own uploaded avatars as the first avatar change after joining the world.
### Actual behavior
“This user has cloning turned off.” is displayed, and the avatar does not change on the first click.
Clicking the same avatar a second time successfully changes to it.
### Expected behavior
Selecting one of my own uploaded avatars should change the avatar immediately without displaying a cloning-related error message.
### Frequency
Every time.
### Environment
Desktop mode
Open Beta build 1912

Putting an avatar quickly results in "no, cloning off"
MystLgnd
Description
has been happening recently these days, noticed that going in avatar menu, choosing an avatar and wearing it too quickly results in the message "this user has avatar cloning off" ; we now have to wait the avatar to fully load (the favorite star appears at that moment) to wear it. Don’t know if intended or not, but writing this ico.
Reproduction Steps
Have some avatars saved, try to open menu, avatars ; from there, choose another avatar to wear and tap apply immediatly (users who have the habit can go that fast) ; you’ll not wear that avatar.

Changing Avatars throws "User has cloning turned off" error
Tips
It's likely just displaying an incorrect error message, as the avatar's are clearly not loaded/cached when the error is thrown.
After the preview appears the error message no longer appears.
Repeatable consistantly.
I'm on the beta branch, PC, same as in VR, my cloning is definitely not disabled ahahaha.
