I read it. That in its self doesn’t answer my question. I like to have actual data provided if any can be. Just listing what he’s said is a lazy reply.
Why don’t you bench test it yourself then? I provided what’s different in the two modules. If you truly care about the performance increase, test it yourself?

Hi, for my racing game, we are already using ProfileStore and Replica, if and how would we replicate the data across different places and be able to globally update it. We have many places under an experience with a main place that a player loads into first.
What are you making exactly? Data store are already universe shared.
So we have a Game (aka experiences) Roblox and there are Places inside that experience with different tracks in as it would be exceptionally laggy to have them all in one game. But we need the data to replicate and be able to saved from Place 1 (Main Game) to Place 2 (track) and visa versa
As noted in the original post:
I’ve been trying to move over my game from the old ProfileService but I’ve ran into a little bit of a snag. Using the tutorial for developer product purchasing, when I run PurchaseIdCheckAsync() my player gets almost immediately kicked after firing the :Save() function on the players profile. The player also gets kicked when the first auto save hits.
I tracked the problem I’m experiencing back to within the SaveProfileAsync function and specially this line:
When I ran prints on profile.load_index and session_load_count, session_load_count was consistently + 1 of load_index causing session_owns_profile to be false, and the player being kicked from the game. I’m a bit lost on how and when those values are incremented.
I made sure I was following the example script of loading players data and also tried with another user to no avail. Player data is loading and functioning normally up until calling :Save().
More than likely user error since no one else is reporting similar issues. Would appreciate any help 
I have one question about ProfileStore,
Why was ViewProfileAsync[ProfileService] renamed to GetAsync[ProfileStore]?
It was a bit confusing to figure out what was going on.
Profile.Data will always be your data with no ProfileStore methods. This would have to be implemented a different way. ProfileStore isn’t designed to handle global leaderboards. If implemented, it wouldn’t make sense for this method to be in a profile either.
Can we get a way to set the scope? I want to move my game that uses ProfileService to ProfileStore but I use a scope so there is no way to get that player data without editing the source code.
Oops, that’s my bad; I’ll edit my post. What I should’ve written is:
local pages = Profiles:GetSortedByStat(statName: "Coins", ascending: true, pageSize: 25, minValue: 5, maxValue: 100)

Should I be worried with this error, basically I joined the game and then left quickly in studio, this does not happen every time.
so is this how you will go about making global leaderboards or what?
That’s what I think would be great, yeah.

Could you please fix the type for StartSessionAsync’s params when you get the opportunity? Line 1004, I believe it should be:
({ Steal: boolean } | { Cancel: () -> boolean })?
From my analysis and comparisons, ProfileService still seems faster, even if it is heavier.
I’ll continue to use ProfileService for this reason and another: the name of the functions and structure have changed, for no apparent reason (?).
There should be some functions with old names that link to the new ones so that it’s easier to switch.
You should probably provide this “analysis”, otherwise it’s meaningless to mention it. We don’t know if it’s faulty benchmarking or a problem out of X areas in the codebase.
Also from my experience if the name of functions and structures have changed for “no apparent reason”, it has to do with modernization, semantics, and clarity.

Hello, I seem to be having a problem with the module. I first tried it out in a seperate place using the example script that’s been provided and it looks like it works correctly there, but after I moved the scripts into my main project and changed the store name it started throwing out these errors every time it tried to save data:
This would also cause Studio to freeze for a solid minute every time I stopped the game.
Is there something I missed, or is this a bug?

I’m experiencing the same issue. I haven’t made any changes or edits to any of my datastore scripts or to the module itself.
