Using `require()` to download the module is deprecated and will no longer function. Please download the module via the [Creator Marketplace](https://create.roblox.com/marketplace/asset/14693520205/Ezstatz-easily-add-Leaderstats-to-your-game) instead.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Downloading the module via the `require(assetId)`method is strongly discouraged unless you're putting it in a global table. Example:

require(14693520205) -- Downloads the Ezstatz module and returns it's contents
