Why is my ProfileService DataStore Service Not Working?

My code

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local cachedProfiles = {}
local ProfileService = require(script.ProfileService)
local saveStructure = {
	coins = 0;
	Clown = 0;
	Default = 0;
	ROBLOX = 0;
	Seer = 0;
	SkillPointsLeft = 0;
}
local PlayerProfileStore = ProfileService.GetProfileStore("PlayerSaveData", saveStructure)

local function PlayerDataLoaded(player)
	print("loaded")
	local profile = cachedProfiles[player]
	
	local folderStats = player:WaitForChild("stats")
	local KnivesFolder = Instance.new("Folder", player)
	KnivesFolder.Name = "Knifes"
	
	local Clown = Instance.new("IntValue")
	Clown.Name = "Clown"
	Clown.Value = profile.Data.Clown
	Clown.Parent = KnivesFolder
	
	local ROBLOX = Instance.new("IntValue")
	ROBLOX.Name = "ROBLOX"
	ROBLOX.Value = profile.Data.ROBLOX
	ROBLOX.Parent = KnivesFolder
	
	local Seer = Instance.new("IntValue")
	Seer.Name = "Seer"
	Seer.Value = profile.Data.Seer
	Seer.Parent = KnivesFolder
	
	repeat wait() until player:WaitForChild("stats"):WaitForChild("coins")
	
	local coins = Instance.new("IntValue")
	coins.Name = "coins"
	coins.Value = profile.Data.coins
	coins.Parent = folderStats
	
	local SkillPointsLeft = Instance.new("IntValue")
	SkillPointsLeft.Name = "SkillPointsLeft"
	SkillPointsLeft.Value = profile.Data.SkillPointsLeft
	SkillPointsLeft.Parent = folderStats
	
	
	--[[Ex.
	local Clown = Instance.new("IntValue")
	Clown.Name = "Clown"
	Clown.Value = profile.Data.Clown
	Clown.Parent = folderStats
	]]
	
	
	spawn(function()
		while true do
			local profile = cachedProfiles[player]
			
			if profile ~= nil then
				Clown.Value = profile.Data.Clown
				ROBLOX.Value = profile.Data.ROBLOX
				Seer.Value = profile.Data.Seer
				coins.Value = profile.Data.coins
				SkillPointsLeft.Value = profile.Data.SkillPointsLeft
			else
				break
			end
			
			wait(0.1)
		end
	end)
	 
	print(player.Name .. "'s data is loaded")
end

local function PlayerAdded(player)
	local profile = PlayerProfileStore:LoadProfileAsync("Player_" .. player.UserId, "ForceLoad")
	
	if profile ~= nil then
		profile:ListenToRelease(function()
			cachedProfiles[player] = nil
			player:Kick("Your profile has been loaded remotely. Please rejoin.")
		end)

			PlayerDataLoaded(player)

			profile:Release()

	end
end

for _, player in ipairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
	spawn(function()

	end)
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(PlayerAdded)

There are no prints or anything, both scripts are in module scripts.

It kicks one random player from the game saying datastore issue, any idea why?

#2

Since it’s a module script, did you require it?

#4

What was the datastore issue warning when it kicks the player?

#5

Update lol:

I got it to work, but now it’s just not changing values/saving them.

#6

Yea I think I might know why.

repeat wait() until player:WaitForChild("stats"):WaitForChild("coins")
	
	local coins = Instance.new("IntValue")
	coins.Name = "coins"
	coins.Value = profile.Data.coins
	coins.Parent = folderStats

You are waiting for the coins but the coins hasn’t been created so the script is not able to save the data because it’s waiting infinitely for the coins.

Try removing:
repeat wait() until player:WaitForChild("stats"):WaitForChild("coins")
