Rebuild Database

Rebuilding the database using Safe Mode has fixed this error for me. Rebuilding the database can effectively address data corruption issues that may hinder the proper functioning of specific games or the overall system stability.

 Important: Rebuilding the database will not wipe any data from the hard drive, so you can do it without worrying about data loss.
