It’d be helpful if you could show us how you load your players profiles and what you do with them.
not sure what your issue is, but why are you using _G, is this not in a module script, as _G was commonly used for info between scripts, but with modules, any script can require and get the profile info if you make a simple function that is returned that can give the requested profile.
I’m mostly using the default ProfileService template:
PlayerAdded
local function PlayerAdded(player,folder)
local profile = ProfileStore:LoadProfileAsync("Player_" .. player.UserId,"ForceLoad")
if profile ~= nil then
profile:AddUserId(player.UserId) -- GDPR compliance
profile:Reconcile() -- Fill in missing variables from ProfileTemplate (optional)
profile:ListenToRelease(function()
Profiles[player] = nil
-- The profile could've been loaded on another Roblox server:
if wipe then
player:Kick("Data saved successfully :)")
else
player:Kick("Something went wrong loading data! Please rejoin :D")
end
end)
if player:IsDescendantOf(game.Players) == true then
Profiles[player] = profile
if profile.Data.Banned then
if profile.Data.BannedBy then
player:Kick("You have been banned by "..profile.Data.BannedBy..".")
else
player:Kick("You have been banned.")
end
end
folder.FirstName.Value = profile.Data.FirstName
folder.LastName.Value = profile.Data.LastName
. . .
else
-- Player left before the profile loaded:
profile:Release()
if player then
player:Kick("Something went wrong loading data! Please rejoin :D #300")
end
end
else
-- The profile couldn't be loaded possibly due to other
-- Roblox servers trying to load this profile at the same time:
player:Kick("Something went wrong loading data! Please rejoin :D #200")
end
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
-- creating folder
PlayerAdded(plr,folder)
-- connecting other events for gameplay
PlayerRemoving
local function DataSaveOnExit(plr)
local profile = Profiles[plr]
if profile ~= nil then
if rs.PlayerData:FindFirstChild(plr.Name) then
profile.Data.Money = rs.PlayerData[plr.Name].Money.Value
. . .
end
profile:Release()
end
end
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
DataSaveOnExit(plr)
-- removing folder
end)
Hi, I am slightly new to this module and just wanted to ask if using a module with a ton of public functions like GiveCash or GiveItem would be a good idea or if it would be better to handle data in their respective scripts.
I ran into a problem. After publishing the game, i tried 2 accounts to join a server. then I have 1 account rejoin the same server. the data of that account is lost in the same server.
when I have 2 account quit that server, and have lost data account join a different server, data is back again. does anyone know what bug is this
Edit: I fixed it was my code that make profile take infinite loop and never release
I honestly wouldn’t usually do this, but since this post keeps getting at the top of the page, why not?
For those who are perhaps looking for an alternative, maybe check out DocumentService.
ProfileService hasn’t been updated (or at least, seems like it) for a long while.
Just finished a quick ProfileService rewrite 
The project name is “ProfileStore” which represents the top class of this module.
Majority of changes involve code and comment cleanup, variable name cleanup, an upgrade to the GlobalUpdates feature and auto-complete support.
It will be backwards compatible with the original internal DataStore schema ProfileService has been using, but the method names will be different and “MetaTags” will be removed in favor of a new property “Profile.LastSavedData”.
There also exists a rewritten version of ReplicaService that’s slightly faster and also has cleaner method names.
If there’s enough interest from the community and motivation from my side I might make an open source release of these modules with full documentation
