PS3 [SOLVED] GAME DATA CORRUPT OR DAMAGED

Whenever I try to launch Watch Dogs, it will load up as usual, I choose language, it says loading down in the corner aaaaand big message saying "Game Data is corrupt or Damaged, please reinstall" or something like that, cant remember quite right.
But it is a PSN game, so there is no game data, I have no save files and I even tried rebuilding database.
Still, the same shit happens, I tried with disc game too, same shit.
I think it might be because I am on DEX, cause last time I played it was fine and I was on CEX back then.
ID is NPEB-01433

So, anyone got a clue to what problem this might be?, it has never happened with any other game, really annoying.
 
Delete and re-install the data. I get that from time to time on certain games, deleting and re-installing it normally sorts the job out.
 
Well, I am answering myself now. Problem is fixed.
I have a secondary profile in which I mainly make GT6 Hybrids and like cheat on every game I have in which Watch Dogs have never been launched on, so I launched the game on this profile and this time it said "Installing Trophies to HDD" and thats when I understood my Watch Dogs trophies are broken on my main profile.
Cause when switching to DEX from CEX, all my trophies got broken and I had to delete them so that they could be reinstalled.
But all games got stuck at loading trophies screens, so I immediately understood I had to remove the Trophies, thus losing all trophies but I dont care about them so it doesnt matter.
Watch Dogs on the other hand got stuck at "Corrupt or damaged Game Data", which makes you think of actual Game Data, not Trophies.

But as it turns out, Trophies is also considered Game Data. So if anyone else gets this problem just delete trophies
 
Maybe it is solved but reason wasn't switching DEX-CEX because I have properly working trophies, mixed from CEX and DEX flagged across fw 2.60 up to 4.6x. And they even synchronizing with SEN.

Sometimes games breaking trophy index (during updating existing global index or sometimes local index). For some reason, in unknown circumstances... It is wise to making backups if those are important data for You.

Normally for me its after using a mod menu on BO2, it sometimes corrupts the trophy data, sometimes just deleting the trophies works, sometimes the disc back up and trophies have to be deleted and then copied back to the HDD.

I never heard of that before. Thanks God I never use such hacks. ^^

Only ever really happens on BO2, sometimes a few others, and very rarely happens, but is always after using a mod menu and one that has required the EBOOT to be swapped out for a different one. If you use say BO2 GSC Injector for PS3 then this doesn't happen. I have never been able to figure out why it does this at such random times and with only certain menus.

There's nothing wrong with hacking like this, I only do it for fun in private custom games. Cheating in Public games is for noobs and pussies lol. All my trophies are synced with PSN, but it is a pain when you have to re do it because it been corrupted.
 
Corrupted trophies uses to happen because the game crashes exactly while it was either installing or updating the trophies
It happened to me a few times too, while trying to boot "experimental" ripped games (where i removed some files of the game to make it smaller)

This is why in case of (weird) problems... i use to say is needed to delete:
-gamedata
-savedata
-trophies
-also... boot a different game (to clear the cache hdd partition, because sometimes corrupted files are copyed there)

After that deletions the game "should" boot fine
 
I find that staying off DEX keeps my console running perfectly. Sounds like that's what snowballed the problem you have. :)
