My game doesn't launch in itch.io app

I'm a game developper trying to host my game on itch.
I followed this tutorial to upload my game using butler and everything went along smoothly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXyzYRNLd1I

But now I see that the itch.io app won't launch my game.



If I download the game without the app or if I navigate to the downloaded game's folders and click on the .exe file the game starts just fine. The problem occurs only with the itch app. (My game is built using Unity)
This is what I uploaded using this command line with Butler: 
butler push "E:\Unity Projects\Flash Project\BUILDS\UploadBuild\Braveless.zip" JeremyVansnick/Braveless:win



I must be doing something incorrectly but I don't know what it is. Any ideas?

If you open up the app log you you should see what’s going on. You can access it from the preferences/settings. But, I see from your image you are using a very old version of the app, so I recommend updating to the latest version by re-downloading from here https://itch.io/app. Do you not see an upgrade warning on the homepage within the app?

Whenever I pressed "Check for updates" it said the app was up-to-date. I downloaded a new version from your link and the game now launches properly. Thanks for helping out :)

Sadly this upgrade wasn’t able to be completed with the built in updater in that version of the app. Did you not see a big upgrade banner on the homepage of the site every time you loaded up the app? That might be a bug on our end.

Nothing that made me realize I didn't have the update. I don't have the old program to check anymore. To me it looked like the app was up-to-date.
