[BUG] GetSortedAsync Data Limit At 9.223 Quintillion

[RuizuKun_Dev (Kitsune)]

I was watching this Video and realized that something is wrong with the Leaderboard so I went into both of my games and check

Images

A lot of players are stuck at 9.223Qi so I decided to test further

–

First I made my self have higher stats than 9.223Qi

As seen in the image below;

• Total Muscle 1.1 Sx
• Current Muscle 100 Qi
• Max Health 9.951 No

(Quintillion, 18 Zeros or 1,000,000,000,000,000,000)
(Sextillion, 21 Zeros or 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000)
(Nonillion, 30 Zeros or 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000)

–

Then I Saved ALL of my Stats to DataStore then rejoin the Game

As you can see all of my Data is loaded correctly
(My Coins are math.huge or INF)

–

But I still have 9.223Qi on the Leaderboard which is incorrect

I also haven’t been getting any errors for trying to save larger values than 9.223 Quintillion so I am sure that it’s not an issue.

–

Quintillion has only 18 Zeros or 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 | Source

Which shouldn’t be a problem for GetSortedAsync to retrieve from OrderedDataStore

---

This really seems like a bug since DataStore can store math.huge and I don’t see why it would be a problem for OrderedDataStore either it doesn’t make any sense.

Well, my friend, you used all 64-bits. There is no way for us to sort arbitrary integers of any length.

This will explain it better than I can:

As stated above, it’s really just a technical limitation. It may be possible to host your own data services that handle this extreme case, but I doubt that it will be supported by Roblox’s sorted datastores any time soon.

You may want to look into significantly decreasing the scale of progression, or implementing a type of prestige system system for players who cap out.
