Some games don't launch

Yesterday there was a pretty bad storm that hit the power out for a couple minutes.

I was playing one of the games on itch when that happened, now that game and only that game isn't launching from itch desktop app, i can still launch the game from the game folder, but if i try to launch it from itch, it just shows that the game is running, but nothing happens, and there is nothing in the task manager as well.

i hope there is a simple fix to this, since i have a pretty massive amount of games on itch, and i don't want to reinstall and lose them all.

If you completely restart the app or your computer, and start it up again it still says it thinks the game is running? There is a force quit option if you right click on the game’s icon you can also try to see if it makes any difference.

yeah, i tried to restart the app and computer first thing. And the force quit just stops whatever the app was doing instead of launching the game.

Ello. when I try to open the game it says "Missing  app.info in data" can u help me?

Thanks.
