When testing a game I was making, some people experienced data loss. I thought that datastore2 was designed to stop data loss, but the game does call the datastore frequently (every few seconds.)

Can you have data loss while using datastore2?

Seeing as it is used in suck big and popular games, I assume that it works better than a regular datastore. While you are not guaranteed no data loss, it is sure to work better and at least cause for less data loss.

heck... whats datastore2... Having a second datastore is fine if you aren't saving a lot of data.. if you are saving too much then 1 datastore is good. A second one could be used as a backup...
Datastore2 is the new datastore module that uses Berezza's method. It is used by many popular games like dungeon quest. It also says that it is protected against data loss, but it has nothing to do with two datastores.
We aren't tech support for datastore2. Ask in the SH discord or in the datastore2 community instead.
hiimgood stop with the mod claims... its just a question... not a request
SH is for support involving your own code, not free models on the internet. I assume that the OP did not make DS2, and if we provided support for free models, it'd change the site's purpose from getting help for your own code to getting help on how to use a free model that doesn't work.
In the community guidelines, it states "Attempts should be your own work. Don't take a free model and expect us to fix it", implying to also not take a free model and see if a part of it will work correctly reliably, in this case, the data loss protection.
sorry. I'm new here.
