Seeing the same message. I went ahead and deleted everything FC3 related on my PS3 and still the same message appears. What a major fail and a major waste of time. I even chatted with PSN tech support who had me reboot is safe mode and rebuild the data. Still nothing. Here is the transcript from the chat:
Kevin: Hello, My name is Kevin how may I assist you today?
You: I have downloaded Far Cry 4 to my PS3 and I am able to start it up but it gets to a screen that says game data is corrupt and I need to delete my Far Cry 3 game data
You: I did that and I am still receiving the same message
Kevin: I'd be happy to look into this for you today.
Kevin: I will just need to verify some information, can you please provide me your online ID (nickname) and sign in ID (Email address)?
You: lxxxxxxx
You: and mrxxxxxxxxxx
Kevin: Thank you.
Kevin: Do you have the PS3 with you?
You: yes
Kevin: Is it on or off?
You: it is on
Kevin: Please turn it off.
Kevin: Once the PS3 is off, press and hold the power button, immediately you will hear the first beep, around 7 seconds later you will hear a second beep, and another 7 seconds you will hear the third beep. At that point release the Power button. If you succeeded in activating Safe Mode, you will see a message on the screen saying, "Connect the controller using a USB cable and then press the PS button".
You: okits now off
You: ok done
Kevin: Can you see some options on the screen?
You: yes
Kevin: Select rebuild database option.
You: ok done
Kevin: After it is done if the issue persists I will ask you to please access to the game later since we've been having psn maintenance, there are still some issues.
You: is this a network issue or game issue?
Kevin: The 2 things.
Kevin: It is an issue with the servers.
You: is this a common problem right now with Far Cry 4?
Kevin: It is a general issue with PSN.
You: my other games are working that I downloaded
Kevin: As I mentioned there are still some issues. If it doesn't work please try later.
Kevin: Is there anything else I can assist you with today?
You: Yeah how much later?
Kevin: During the day.
You: ok so I should have just bought a hard copy of the game
Kevin: Thank you for contacting us. Have a great day!
You: instead of wasting my time
Not cool bro!
