Here is my code below that saves multiple values in a table into a datastore. The datastore works in Studio but not in game. Why?

My datastore works perfectly fine in game, saving multiple values inside of a table into a datastore. But, once I hop into my game on Roblox, the datastore doesn’t work, the currency value is not saved from my last playing session, and some of the GUI text values that were saved as strings in my table were not saved also. Anybody know why datastores only work in Studio but not in game?

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

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

	local currency = Instance.new("IntValue")
	currency.Name = currencyName
	currency.Parent = folder

	local ID = currencyName.."-"..player.UserId
	local playerKey = "Player_" .. player.UserId
	local savedData = nil	
	
	pcall(function()
		savedData = DataStore:GetAsync(ID)
	end)
	
	local QuestGui = player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("QuestGui")
	if savedData[1] ~= nil then
		currency.Value = savedData[1]
		print("currency data loaded")
	else
			-- New player
		currency.Value = 0
		print("New player to the game")
	end
	if savedData[2] ~= nil and savedData[3] ~= nil then
		QuestGui.Frame.MainFrame.Quest1.CoinAmount.Text = savedData[2]
		QuestGui.Frame.MainFrame.Quest2.CoinAmount.Text = savedData[3]
		game.ReplicatedStorage.Events:WaitForChild("QuestDataLoaded"):FireClient(player)
		print("data was loaded")
	else
		QuestGui.Frame.MainFrame.Quest1.CoinAmount.Text = "0/10"
		QuestGui.Frame.MainFrame.Quest2.CoinAmount.Text = "0/1"
		print("data was not properly loaded")
	end

	
end)

function Save(player)
	local ID = currencyName.."-"..player.UserId
	local generaldatatable = {player.leaderstats[currencyName].Value, player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("QuestGui").Frame.MainFrame.Quest1.CoinAmount.Text, player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("QuestGui").Frame.MainFrame.Quest2.CoinAmount.Text}
	DataStore:SetAsync(ID,generaldatatable)
end

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	local ID = currencyName.."-"..player.UserId
	local generaldatatable = {player.leaderstats[currencyName].Value, player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("QuestGui").Frame.MainFrame.Quest1.CoinAmount.Text, player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("QuestGui").Frame.MainFrame.Quest2.CoinAmount.Text}
	DataStore:SetAsync(ID,generaldatatable)
end)
game:BindToClose(function()
	-- When game is ready to shutdown
	for i, v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
		Save(v)
	end
	wait(5)	
end)
