Sorry, forgot to change the category
I’m having a weird problem that I’m really confused about. Basically, I’m trying to use DataStore2 for my games, but it seems that whenever I set a value, then leave the game, this value goes back to 0 and it’s not in a table. In the code below, if I say
playerDataStore:Set({
["Coins"] = 100
})
, on the 25th line, then it will last for that session, but, when I leave the game and rejoin with that code still there, it goes back to 100, while deleting it makes it go back to 0.
The most important lines are the local function purchase(), the CoinsPart clicked function (this is just as a test) at the bottom, and the update called with OnUpdate

And here’s a copy of the game, missing some game parts, but everything you need to test
scripthelp.rbxl (54.9 KB)
Any ideas for why it’s doing this?
