This is because the Clients are abruptly disconnected. You need to open a window for the Server to allocate a short time frame for saving the data before closing the link. You can do this with the :BindToClose() method if game:
1 | local Players = game:GetService("Players") |
2 |
3 | game:BindToClose(function() |
4 | for _,Player in pairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do |
5 | Player:Kick() --// Force PlayerRemoving for Data Save. |
6 | end |
7 | end) |
Note: The Server will open a window of 30 maximum seconds. If this period is exceeded, the functions will be discarded and the connection will proceed to collapse.
Remember:
This method will only attach the callback function for when the Server shut’s down, it will not call if a Player leaves. Although Data Saving can be done here, it is preferred that you don’t use :BindToClose() to do so, just invoke whichever signals or functions that are responsible for this within instead.

Use game:BindToClose to prevent data loss when the server shuts down.
1 | game:BindToClose(function() |
2 | for _, players in next, game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayers() do |
3 | -- Save data |
4 | end |
5 | end) |
NOTE: In order for DataStores to work in studio, turn on Enable Studio Access to API Services
01 | local dataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService") |
02 |
03 | local myDataStore = dataStoreService:GetDataStore("myDataStore") |
04 |
05 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) |
06 | local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder") |
07 | leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats" |
08 | leaderstats.Parent = player |
09 | local Score = Instance.new("IntValue") |
10 | Score.Name = "Score" |
11 | Score.Parent = leaderstats |
12 | local Credits = Instance.new("IntValue") |
13 | Credits.Name = "Credits" |
14 | Credits.Parent = leaderstats |

Your full script should look like this.
