After the most recent update (v41.00), all score and gold in a map I help work on has been completely reset for almost all players. This is a big problem since player’s could have obtained gold by buying it through V-Bucks, and now they don’t have it anymore because the save point device (which is the only way you can properly save and load gold per player without tracking it elsewhere) decided to reset everyone after the new update.
EDIT: I figured out when this happens. It appears to happen any time I join a lobby that has already started (join in progress). Whenever I do, my score and gold gets reset. Sometimes my score saves, but gold resets every time I join a lobby that has already started. HOWEVER, playing a private game or joining public and being the first player in the map loads data properly. This issue is related to join in progress, and it only affects some maps from what I’ve seen, the one I help work on and play included.
What can I do next? Will there be a way to revert everyone’s data back to before the new update or is there something else I have to do to fix this problem?

Steps to Reproduce
If any player has gained any score or gold in the map before, loading in after the new update will reset them and override it with a completely new save.
Expected Result
Players should have had the same score and gold from yesterday, but after the new update almost everyone has been reset. Only few are unaffected.
Observed Result
Almost everyone’s score was reset after the new v41.00 update.
Yes. This is a map I help work on and play, it has been affected by this issue: 4051-4682-5311
You can see how it’s bugged if you do the following:
Load up in private game and wait 2-3 minutes. Each minute in the map gives 1 score and some gold.
Leave and join a new private game, everything should load perfectly, you should still have your 2-3 score and gold.
Now leave and join a public game. If it puts you in a lobby that has already started (there are other players already there), your score and gold (or in some cases just your gold) will be reset. The problem is related to join in progress.
@FUNCR hey I just tried your map and it’s the same exact problem as the gold/score in my reported map, it resets your level progress whenever you join a game that has already started (join in progress), but if you join a private game (or if you are the first player in a public game) it loads correctly
Adding more screenshots here to show that the scores have been reset due to players joining games in progress. First screenshot shows players (including me) with 10,000+ score. Second screenshot shows the score today after the 41.00 update, all reset. @MasterCritic
