I’ve recently experienced scripts that are working fine in Roblox Studio not working in the actual game. This started happening on January 21st, 2021 and still occurs.
For example this inventory and egg hatching system:

Game
https://gyazo.com/0c5668b16d8c9a7ab25a21db536f986e
As you can see in the game nothing is showing up in the inventory. Another example is my egg hatching system shown below.

And in the game you can’t even start hatching the egg because the inventory UI won’t appear. The egg hatching system’s data is saved using regular DataStores, so if I join in studio the egg will appear.

Now after I just joined studio I joined the actual game and this is what showed up
https://gyazo.com/b23d7f92017a7acef072443cba8d8e30
Nothing shows up, however the data does get loaded in successfully, as other scripts that use the same data work fine.
Earlier today when I joined the game the scripts surprisingly worked for once, so I left, joined again immediately after, and it was back to the usual unworking scripts.
I’ve tried overwriting an empty baseplate and publishing it as a new game, but got the same results.
I contacted Roblox Support yesterday to report this issue and I got this as the answer:
We understand that sometimes you may run into problems building and scripting to which you just can’t figure out a solution. With all of the power available through Roblox and Roblox Studio, you may even have difficulty knowing where to start. Luckily, we have several sources of information that might be able to help. Please check out the Building and Scripting Help and Tutorials help article for information on these sources.
Extremely useless, as none of the information in the link seem to help with my issue. No bugs or errors are shown in the output in Roblox Studio, so to me this seems like an issue that is out of my control.
