ProfileService issues

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
    For profileservice to load profiles without it always ending up nil
  2. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
    When the game is loading profileservice keeps loading before my data module can load, so I added a wait function so the profile can actually load but when profileservice actually loads and my datastore module can continue the profiles still end up nil
  3. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
    A repeat wait until the profile was loaded, swapping datastores. I’ve looked for solutions but haven’t found any problems similar to mine.

After that, you should include more details if you have any. Try to make your topic as descriptive as possible, so that it’s easier for people to help you!
