ProfileService is no-longer supported or being updated, but I would like to know if anyone else has experienced this same problem.
Randomly last night starting around 7:30 PM 3 thousand errors over a period of 6 hours occurred relating to profile service.
I have not seen this error occur on any of my other experiences so it’s pretty bizarre. Thanks!
I’m also getting occasional errors loading data upon joining a place after a teleport
Hello, I am constantly getting an error (not in studio) that tells me that the profile is not existing.
I followed the youtube video given on the very top as a recommendation.
I personally do not get this issue in studio, but in the actual game many users seem to trigger this error.
The source code is pretty much like in the video in terms of getting / loading the actual data in.
I will provide source code to this post here later but does anyone have a idea why this could be?
Thanks in advance.
Yours sincerely, Sxato | Marv.
Source code:
local function added(Player)
dataTemplate = dataStructure.getStructure(Player)
local profileStore = PS.GetProfileStore("PlayerProfile", dataTemplate["Saveables"])
local profile
repeat
local success, errormsg = pcall(function()
profile = profileStore:LoadProfileAsync("TestPlayerProfile" .. Player.UserId)
end)
if not success then warn(errormsg) task.wait(1) end
until success
if profile then
profile:AddUserId(Player.UserId)
profile:Reconcile()
profile:ListenToRelease(function()
profiles[Player] = nil
Player:Kick()
end)
if not Player:IsDescendantOf(Players) then
profile:Release()
else
profiles[Player] = profile
end
else
Player:kick()
end
Player:SetAttribute("DataLoaded", true)
end
Can anyone confirm that this should work? Because for some reason my assert in another function is being triggered. The assert has the following in it:
assert(profiles[Player], string.format("Profile does not exist for: %s", Key)
any help is appreciated.
Hey, basically I have no idea what I’m doing, and just copy-pasted it from another one of my games where data saving works, but it doesn’t in this game.
Here’s my script. Can someone tell me what the issue is?
local ProfileTemplate = {
PlayerStats = {Kills = 0, Wins = 0, Level = 1, Exp = 0, Coins = 0},
Weapons =
{
WeaponStats = {EquippedKnife = "Classic", EquippedGun = "Classic", EquippedSword = "Classic"},
Knives = {Classic = 1, Bronze = 0, Silver = 0, Gold = 0, Platinum = 0, Lapis = 0, Obsidian = 0, Diamond = 0, Amethyst = 0, Ruby = 0, Emerald = 0, Turqoise = 0, Flame = 0, Frost = 0, Shadow = 0, Lunar = 0, Supernova = 0, Void = 0},
Guns = {Classic = 1, Bronze = 0, Silver = 0, Gold = 0, Platinum = 0, Lapis = 0, Obsidian = 0, Diamond = 0, Amethyst = 0, Ruby = 0, Emerald = 0, Turqoise = 0, Flame = 0, Frost = 0, Shadow = 0, Lunar = 0, Supernova = 0, Void = 0},
Swords = {Classic = 1, Bronze = 0, Silver = 0, Gold = 0, Platinum = 0, Lapis = 0, Obsidian = 0, Diamond = 0, Amethyst = 0, Ruby = 0, Emerald = 0, Turqoise = 0, Flame = 0, Frost = 0, Shadow = 0, Lunar = 0, Supernova = 0, Void = 0}
}
}

session locking should solve pretty much all of the issue from the datastore side. anything in another layer in on you of course
this could be a race condition
your code might check for the profile before the profile is loaded! datastores aren’t immediate.
do some printing to see the order
usually when I used profileservice I’d have an extra wrapper for it with Signals and :WaitFor functions to deal with this and to overall simplify the use of profiles
Thanks for your response, I ended up yielding the Datastore with a “repeat until” so I do not let the system continue until the profile is there or the player is gone.
All I had to do was change the name of one variable! I love scripting 
Everytime I join the game I got the error where the session is already loaded, changing data key doesn’t solve the problem
I’m attempting to use multiple profile stores in the same game (which probably isn’t intended, but I’m attempting to keep data for specific worlds separate from the player) and I’ve noticed save data being shared between the two, they’re both using different profile stores and player profiles, along with being controlled by different server scripts so I do not know how this is happening.
Do you recommend ProfileStore over ProfileService and why?
You should read the post he linked.
If I have two game instances (like a universe), the first one is where character-creation (players customising character) and second is the actual game.
Asking because, it’d be a lot convenient if I have the template in one place, add a new data, and even if player teleports to the 2nd game instance (where I load profilestore as well) for the datastore to detect the newly created data values that was loaded in the 1st game instance, rather than having to manage multiple game instances and having to put the new data currency in each of them.
The best practice would probably be to have the template in all games. You could use packages/assets to centralize the template to one script, though.
Would like to know if what I asked if possible, please
What is the function/method to check if a player has no existing profiles before / first time their profile being made?
You can either put a bool value and check it and then set it to false when you did your first time join code. Or check profile.LoadCount
Hey loleris, I’m receiving a lot of errors (see image right side), and I’m not sure if they are crucial to the data saving but I just wanted to point it out and ask about it. This is from a new save with pretty much no changes to the script(s)
Hey so this “thread” is for ProfileService, the code you posted comes from ProfileStore
Also can you share what studio shows when you over the code underlined in red? This is not normal, did you modify the ProfileStore module source?
Profileservice is broken can you please fix it
