yes roblox datastore have multiple problems

#

i recommend u to use modules like profileservice

#

search it up on yt there a lot of tutorials of how to use it

#

#

#

u prefer to the players gettin data resetting and duping

#

u would did that first

#

just change it the way u can because problems of datastore will cause brain dmg lol

local starCoinsDS = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("starCoinsDS")

function savePlayerData(player)
    local leaderstats = player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats")
    if leaderstats then
        local starCoins = leaderstats:FindFirstChild("starCoins")
        if starCoins then
            print("data before saved")
            starCoinsDS:SetAsync(player.UserId .. "_starCoins", starCoins.Value)

    local success, result = pcall(function()
        return starCoinsDS:GetAsync(player.UserId .. "_starCoins")

        script.Parent.Transparency = 0

    end
end


script.Parent.Touched:Connect(onTouch)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(savePlayerData)
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(loadPlayerData)```

just see the savedata function

#

but why it works better than dss

It is expected that datastore functions will fail from time to time. If not handled you will experience dataloss. From Roblox docs:

Functions like SetAsync() that access a data store's contents are network calls that may occasionally fail. As shown above, it's recommended that these calls be wrapped in pcall() to catch and handle errors.

The 3rd party library: ProfileService for example repeats saving until it succeeds: https://github.com/MadStudioRoblox/ProfileService/blob/master/ProfileService.lua#L966

You should check the result of the pcall (by adding in front local success, updatedData = pcall(..) like the Roblox docs show: https://create.roblox.com/docs/cloud-services/datastores#updating-data

Then you can try saving again if success is not true
