I have had this issue for a while now but I’m only reporting it now because it keeps happening. My game M.E.G. Endless Reality has been suffering from the datastore error DataStoreService: InternalServerError. I have followed what it says to do on the documentation where it says “Occasional error on Roblox servers. Try again, ideally with exponential backoff.” But still I often get reports from my community that their data randomly vanishes and some quit the game over it. This also isn’t a recent thing like I said before and has been going on for as long as I can remember. This is a screenshot of the game’s error report page from the past week. I know this error is on roblox’s end so I don’t really know what else to do besides report it as a bug.
learn to use profilestore instead and you rarely will ever face any major issues
i’m pretty sure that this can’t be fixed by profilestore, its a internal roblox issue not a issue with their code if it comes up with “An internal server error occurred.”
This is not a bug.
Cloud services like data stores are expected to throw these errors intermittently. You need to use pcall() to catch and handle them, and implement retrying as necessary.
The large amount of these you see in your error logs are due to Roblox outages that’ve happened over the past few days, where this kind of behavior is expected as services are down. At other times when this error occurs and there’s no ongoing outage, you’re expected to account for this in your scripts by handling the error and retrying the request.
Not a bug.
then how come i havent got the issue with profilestore
Because ProfileStore more than likely does not ever pass along the actual underlying error it receives in any of its error messages.
so my original message stands true then
cool
