Datastore Issues

I have a game I’ve been working on everyday, for hours, and it’s used the same datastore module that I developed years ago, with never an issue with it.

But now, its been over 24 hours since it last worked. I saw Adopt Me had issues, 24 hours prior. Yet, I haven’t seen any outage announcement reported by Roblox, which makes me wonder if there is an outage, or did Adopt Me and and other developers, such as myself, need to change our code to accommodate new behavior by Datastores? Was there something wrong that my 5 year old module has been doing, that is no longer compatible?

Nonetheless, I cobbled together a workaround with some dummy data for my inventory system to work with, while I work out final bugs to rerelease my game this weekend, but I’m getting a bit worried that I’ll need to fully address changing my datastore code, since no outage has been reported yet. Also, my avatar does not draw properly in this developer forum, since the issue has come up… I wonder if somehow that’s related, or an indicator that my account still needs some attention.

Has anyone here had this experience and solved it?

3 hours have passed, and I think I’m going to try creating a new place, and see if datastores work there. I already have an established game though, and players will want their purchased items… I really wanted to get this back online tonight.

UPDATE - nevermind it is solved… Coding error on my part, and I believe it was all just a coincidence, as my issues arose on the heels of another big game having datastore loading issues, as well.
