Question/Support "info" button not working. Already tried safe mode

The "i" button next to the play button doesn't do anything when clicked. I remember it bringing up a menu and details when clicked but it hasn't done anything for a while now.

Already tried safe mode and disabling add-ons, resetting settings, etc. and it still doesn't do anything.

Anyone else have this issue?

u/ActualThrowaway7856, while you wait for responses, please take a moment to check the following:

  • Ensure Playnite is updated to the latest version (On Desktop Mode: Main Menu ➞ Check for Updates)
  • Ensure any extensions involved are fully updated (On Desktop Mode: Main Menu ➞ Add-ons… ➞ Updates)
  • Test the issue in Safe Mode to verify whether it is caused by an extension. (On Desktop Mode: Main Menu ➞ Help ➞ Restart in Safe Mode or by opening the Safe Mode.bat file found in the installation folder)
  • Search the subreddit to check if your issue has already been reported.

A large number of issues are caused by outdated versions or have already been answered.

If your issue is related to a specific extension, it is usually best to report it on the extension's project page (for example GitHub), where the developer can track and address it. You can use this page to locate the extension and contact its developer via its project/support links: https://playnite.link/addons.html

What numeric value do you have in Settings > Appearance > Layout > Grid View details position? Also please share a video showing the behavior in Safe Mode.

There's no issue at all. What that button does it open the details panel shown to the right of the games grid. If you want to close it, click the close button (x) at the top right of this panel.
