Go to %AppData%\Playnite\library folder (put it into file explorer exactly as is) and upload .db files you see there.

Unfortunately companies.db file is corrupted in unrecoverable way (at least not without major effort). You will need to delete the file and let Playnite recreate it.

Ok, thanks for trying to fix it! Sorry for my noob question, but do you mean I should delete companies.db or all the .db files? Because I tried deleting only that file and Playnite did not recreate it automatically. Edit: it recreated it but it seems it is not populated, as all entries related to developers etc are missing. I can edit details and save normally, otherwise.

Only that one file.
