Error when trying to search for Metadata

[Chris Nicchi]

Hello. I have been using this software for a couple of days now and I love it. Unfortunately, yesterday I started receiving the below error anytime I try to click on the “Search for Metadata” box. I have been going into each game where the metadata didn’t populate (typically due to a title mismatch) and manually adding the metadata. I was hoping you might be able to help me out as I really would like to continue using this software.

I am using version 11.7 on Windows 10.

Thank you for the report. I believe this to be related to a corrupted GamesDB file and would be corrected by Forcing a GamesDB update. We do have a code fix in place and I will update the ticket and resolve it once that code hits a public release.
