I'm literally looking at it side by side and the only difference is that my keys are ALL identified with.. ["key"] = val in the old data, and all my keys in the new data are identified with.. key = val Surely that is not what's causing this

So I discovered my issue. Two things: 1: The error says "cannot store Dictionary in DataStore" I thought this meant it had a problem with the fact that I was storing a Dictionary. Bad error message. 2: My table contained BrickColor values, I just overlooked them. After turning them into strings, it's fine.

Had the same problem. Turned out I was storing an RBXInstance which can't be stored.

Yes, datastore error messages are trash.
