After clicking on ‘Search Local Database’ in the game Metadata:

Recent Log:

Afterwards LaunchBox shuts down and restarts.
Note: This happens after the last game database update.

Can you go to Tools > Download > Force Download LaunchBox Games Database (wording may be slightly different) then try it again and let me know if you have any issues after that?

After the force download, it worked again!
