Today I have been getting a ton of messages from players about their data being lost in my game.
I went to check and it seems that all data in the DataStore has been wiped! It’s not like we can’t access the DataStore anymore, it’s just that the data has been wiped completely!
Was this intentional and can the data be retrieved?
I had to remove my place from my active places to prevent rage
edit: The messages first started coming in about data loss at 4:52pm EST if that helps
This is why I use HttpService & a web server - I don’t trust Roblox’s DataStore/Data Persistance
This. Roblox doesn’t exactly have a record of making 100% working features on the initial release. I would recommend waiting at least a week after it’s released for everyone before making your game rely on it.
Either way - DP isn’t reliable at all, and I haven’t messed with DataStore
but my web server is reliable

I agree; DataStore isn’t reliable even if it does work as intended. You can very, very easily Get outdated data, and that’s especially problematic if you’re storing player data there. I get that Roblox needs to cache the data store to decrease the weight, but it simply isn’t a good system if you want to have a game with a reliable data center.
Lesson learned!
Murder Mystery is also affected → That game sells Developer Products and uses the DataStore to save purchases
I’m just not even going to check my game. I don’t even want to know.
I was using the datastore primarily but backing it up with normal datapersistence. So hopefully they didn’t both get wiped.
Those kids get hyped over my game, they will have my ass if all their data is gone.
y nobody use web servers? More reliable!
I don’t even know how to use a web server
edit: hey guys, the winter games use the DataStore and people have been farming for points for days… lol…
Hm… datastore cleared… visit.ashx broken
hax omg 1x1x1 is bak
Yeah I lost hours of work and the third spot on Winter Karts.
Good thing I didn’t use any datastore for my games, but wonder how roblox will get themself out of this mess.
I hope this doesn’t kill my game… It’s been doing fine without updates
Catching Fire’s comments are the worst
Edit: I think the data is back. Can’t confirm because I’m on my phone
Lucky thing my game’s not moved to DataStores yet then, eh? :lol:
Old data is intact, apparently there was a temporary issue involving data stores.
I’m not even going to bother checking my game.
Is DataStore available on the actual site right now for select developers, or just on the test site?
Leaderboards breaking beacuse of DP broke for some min.
