This error has never happend before. I haven’t manipulated this code in weeks but this error started happening within the latest few hours.
First it’s having a hard time joining the new server. Then it shows curl error (which in my case meens you can’t load your stats so u can’t play the game).

It’s also happening with MarketPlaceService if you check my tweet.
EDIT: I also contacted UristMcSparks 20 minutes ago and he’s working as hard as he can to contact the right people to fix it.
And then I also experience Error ID=146, illegal destination at random when I try to join my debug server.
Maybe system overloaded or something…
This is a massive problem, I’m getting a flood of complaints about loss of data and purchases failing to work.
I’ve been experiencing overall ROBLOX server lag (chat messages slow to be filtered, datastore lag, people getting stuck with “noob” characters)
I couldn’t even load my place’s server console because of the lag.
Same here
From what I’ve learned, DataStore requests should all be wrapped with a pcall statement, and that can make sure data loss doesn’t happen, if done right.
I’ve had lots of data loss, I switched to pcall and working on a http backup as well.
Even wrapping it in a pcall won’t help in this case. To my understanding, all or most of the datastore requests are erroring – hiding the error won’t start making the requests work again.
Well it can be used to check if it is erroring, and then tag your users data for errored requests, so it doesn’t overwrite it or anything. I honestly might just switch to HTTPService completely, since I can make backups, and edit data easier through phpmyadmin.
But yes, either way it is a bug.
Should I shut my game down or wait it out…? Do we have a time frame for a fix?
We are looking into this issue. I’ll keep you posted when I get any updates.
Thanks for looking into this!
For some reason… no issues in my games. Very weird.
Probably because no one is ever in them.
FWIW we mostly fixed the issue. We disabled the offending change ~4.5 hours ago and spent the last 4 hours debugging the remnants of the problem. Any new servers started semi-recently should not have any issues anymore.
My game refuses to replicate Workspace into any new servers still, is this related?
This is just a bogus error. It does not affect replication behavior.
[strike]Could you explain why Workspace doesn’t ever get anything loaded into it then?
I can only get a server to successfully start once after I update it or change the version it’s running on. Joining the game again brings on this lack of Workspace problem.[/strike]
EDIT: This is what I get for using a personal server for testing purposes. I’ve got it fixed now.
As a part of the cURL errors there’s an unexpected shut down error when playing/testing/and doing what ever in games which is really annoying.
