Random rejection

  • It does save in-game but sometimes it rejects, which results in non-saving data

Datastore2 seems not maintained anymore, i’m currently too busy to switch to ProfileService
Does anyone know a fix for this error? (DataStore2 > SavingMethods > OrderedBackups)

Edit:

Edited the Standard saving method to retry :point_down: whenever 403 (Forbidden) occurs

self.dataStore:UpdateAsync(self.userId, function()
	return value
end)
Updated Code

Make sure to use the latest Promise release if you use this edit

-- Standard saving of data stores
-- The key you provide to DataStore2 is the name of the store with GetDataStore
-- GetAsync/UpdateAsync are then called based on the user ID
