Datastore randomly stopped working

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Today when I went into studio to work on my game and tested it, I noticed that the leaderbords werent loading the saved data so I went into the main game and played it it was also happening the data was not loading it was wierd since I didint change the save script at all any idea on why this could be happening?

Thanks!

The Save script:

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local SaveSlot = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("SaveSlotTesting")


game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	
		

	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	leaderstats.Parent = player

	
	
	local Level = Instance.new("IntValue")
	Level.Name = "Level"
	Level.Parent = leaderstats

	
	local Gems = Instance.new("IntValue")
	Gems.Name = "Gems"
	Gems.Parent = leaderstats


	
	local PlayerUserId = player.UserId 
	
	       	
	local LoadedSaveData 
	local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
		LoadedSaveData = SaveSlot:GetAsync(PlayerUserId) 
	end)
	
	if success then
		
		if  LoadedSaveData then
			
			player.leaderstats.Level.Value = LoadedSaveData.LevelSaveData
			player.leaderstats.Gems.Value = LoadedSaveData.GemsSaveData
			end
		
		
	end
	
	----------------------------------
		

end)



game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	
	local PlayerUserId = player.UserId 
	
	local SavedData = {---
		
		LevelSaveData = player.leaderstats.Level.Value,
		GemsSaveData = player.leaderstats.Gems.Value  
		
	}
	
	
	local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
		SaveSlot:SetAsync(PlayerUserId, SavedData)
	end)
	
	
	
end)

Do you get any errors? Also, I’d recommend using UpdateAsync over SetAsync as it validates the data passed through it.

#3

I dont get any errors at all

Try debugging it for me, I may be missing something super simple.

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local SaveSlot = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("SaveSlotTesting")


game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	
		

	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	leaderstats.Parent = player

	
	
	local Level = Instance.new("IntValue")
	Level.Name = "Level"
	Level.Parent = leaderstats

	
	local Gems = Instance.new("IntValue")
	Gems.Name = "Gems"
	Gems.Parent = leaderstats

	print("instances created")


	
	local PlayerUserId = player.UserId 
	
	       	
	local LoadedSaveData 
	local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
		LoadedSaveData = SaveSlot:GetAsync(PlayerUserId) 
	end)
	
	if success then
		print("success")
		if  LoadedSaveData then
			print("loaded data")
			player.leaderstats.Level.Value = LoadedSaveData.LevelSaveData
			player.leaderstats.Gems.Value = LoadedSaveData.GemsSaveData
			print("set data")
			end
		
		
	end
	
	----------------------------------
		

end)



game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	
	local PlayerUserId = player.UserId 
	
	local SavedData = {---
		
		LevelSaveData = player.leaderstats.Level.Value,
		GemsSaveData = player.leaderstats.Gems.Value  
		
	}
	
	
	local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
		SaveSlot:SetAsync(PlayerUserId, SavedData)
	end)
	
	
	
end)

This is really wierd, I just used your code and it started working i think it may be roblox servers lagging or something

#6

check a solution then so people with similar if not same issues can look back to it and see what’s the problem

#7

That’d be quite coincidental.

I just realised you were loading the data without having anything to fall back on if the player hadn’t played before.

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local SaveSlot = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("SaveSlotTesting")

local DefaultData = {
	"Level" = 0,
	"Gems" = 0
}


game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	
		

	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	leaderstats.Parent = player

	
	
	local Level = Instance.new("IntValue")
	Level.Name = "Level"
	Level.Parent = leaderstats

	
	local Gems = Instance.new("IntValue")
	Gems.Name = "Gems"
	Gems.Parent = leaderstats

	print("instances created")


	
	local PlayerUserId = player.UserId 
	
	       	
	local LoadedSaveData 
	local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
		LoadedSaveData = SaveSlot:GetAsync(PlayerUserId) or DefaultData
	end)
	
	if success then
		print("success")
		if  LoadedSaveData then
			print("loaded data")
			player.leaderstats.Level.Value = LoadedSaveData.LevelSaveData
			player.leaderstats.Gems.Value = LoadedSaveData.GemsSaveData
			print("set data")
			end
		
		
	end
	
	----------------------------------
		

end)



game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	
	local PlayerUserId = player.UserId 
	
	local SavedData = {---
		
		LevelSaveData = player.leaderstats.Level.Value,
		GemsSaveData = player.leaderstats.Gems.Value  
		
	}
	
	
	local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
		SaveSlot:SetAsync(PlayerUserId, SavedData)
	end)
	
	
	
end)

Check if the game’s http requests are on.

#9

This cannot happen in any case, since no other games experience this. It could be because of the game’s code or http requests being disabled

#10

if this is the case, don’t you think it’ll happen again, you can’t just brush this off

#11

Datastore service does not require this. You need to enable API services in studio, instead of http requests.
