I have put AutomaticRetry on. Not sure if this will help anything but yeah. Any help will be appreciated. This is because it is ending up in data loss.

Can I see your script please? This will help me see errors you have.

I believe it is an error due to DataStores being down. But would automatic retry help with the data loss or would I need to do something else?

I would use a pcall function to prevent this from happening

I already am, I posted the code above.
This isn’t related as the code will fail anyways. Pcalling is only used for catching not avoiding errors. It is clear that this is a Roblox issue and bug, a post of which is linked in my previous post.

I read the post, I couldn’t see a fix for it in the replies. Is there any way I can do anything, would activating AutomaticRetry help with this?
No because you can get stuck in an infinite loop if the issue is consistent. You can wait until a fix patched for now.

How come other games do not experience this data loss then? Are they caching the data?
Perhaps it does not impact all games, but rather certain ones. I suggest liking the bug report to grab further staff attention so it can get fixed.

I have disabled AutomaticRetry as you said it would not do anything but get me stuck in an infinite loop, but I can’t just sit around losing players data. I think I could store the data, then retry the save every 10 minutes. But this does not help with retrieving data.
