I tested your script and it's working. I'm assuming you tested your script on studio?

This is because studio server shutdowns as you leave/stop. Try using game:BindToClose() for your saving method.

local function save(player)
    local playerUserId = "Player_"..player.UserId

    local Data = {
        Shards = player.Leaderstats.Shards.Value;
        Level = player.Leaderstats.Level.Value;
        Face = player.Leaderstats.Face.Value;
        Shirts = player.Leaderstats.Shirts.Value;
        Pants = player.Leaderstats.Pants.Value;
    }

    local success, errorMessage = pcall(function()
        wait(0.1)
        DataStore:SetAsync(playerUserId, Data)
    end)

    if success then
        print("Data has been successfully saved")
    else
        print("Data has failed to save, Error")
        warn(errorMessage)
    end
end

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
    save(plr)
end)

game:BindToClose(function() -- runs when game closes
    for i, plr in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
        save(plr)
    end
end)

I think the problem is that you typed leaderstats with an uppercase L

Try changing your code from "Leaderstats" to "leaderstats"

It's not exactly the problem. Typing "Leaderstats" just make them won't show in player list Feelings_La 399 — 3y
