    The game wont install on PS4 (TRIED EVERYTHING)

    I don't own the game -- my dad does but he isn't that savvy with technology so I'm looking for help for him.

    While playing the game, he encountered an error which stated 'Application Data Corrupted' and was told to reinstall the game -- he did, but the installation NEVER finishes. It just links him back to the PS4 dashboard every time he tries to install the game. Nothing literally happens.

    I've gone through SO MANY threads online for hours, yet haven't found any solution. This was the closest one: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards...cry-5/76475980

    I feel sorry for my dad because he has no idea what to do.

    I've deleted/uninstalled and reinstalled (well, attempted to) without success.

    I've rebuilt the PS4 database.

    I've done all the above and then when first entering the disc, I've instantly STOPPED patch 1.06 from installing to see if that was getting in the way of the base installation but still didn't work.

    I need some serious help from Ubisoft as this game is essentially broken.

    Thanks,

    Josh

    This thread covers it in detail, unfortunately it seems to be a hardware issue with the PS4 itself.

    lol...

    So it's a hardware problem that only affects 1 game?

    What am I supposed to do with this useless disc I just spent $60 on?

    What about my (possibly) corrupted PS4?

    I really hope Ubisoft fixes this...
