Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reproducing the crash when clicking a database or selecting a Steam game with a database under an unstable network connection; done should mean the software remains usable without immediately downloading the database and supports the requested offline behavior.

Description

Sometimes the database crashes because it can't be loaded, not just when you click on the database

(有时候会因为加载不出来数据库崩溃,不仅是点击数据库的时候)

Because sometimes the network environment cannot download the database stably
When you click on a database or select a Steam game with a database, it will force you to wait for the database to load before the software crashes
I would like to add an offline mode or airplane mode to the software (or a non-timely database that is updated regularly locally, which is better)
Make the software stable to use

因为有时候网络环境无法稳定下载数据库
点击数据库或是选择了一个有数据库的Steam游戏时,会强制等待数据库加载而后软件崩溃
希望能在软件里面加一个离线模式或是飞行模式(或者本地带一个定期更新的非及时数据库好一点)
让软件能够稳定使用
