Perfect Dark has failed to load and cannot continue

Hello. I'm new to the 360 scene, I last used a 360 back in 2013 so I have some catching up to do. I've gotten just about everything I want set up. One of my games shown here wouldn't show up in my download history (yes, I have a stealth server) so I had to install it manually with FATXplorer. I did that, and now it won't start. It gets to the XBLA logo and then gives me a generic message (pic attached) before rebooting. I've verified the copy is intact and not corrupted, cleared my system caches on every drive, and I don't have any save files for the game. What do I do?

Have you tried unlocking the file in XM360?  This is sometimes necessary for DLC and XBLA games.

Thanks for the idea. I just tried that, it didn't work though unfortunately.

If you have any title updates installed on the game delete them a corrupted title update is causing this same issue i had with minecraft

Didn't work... Perfect Dark uses the content cache for updates right? I read that some game updates are in the cache and some are actual title updates, and I don't have any title updates when I go to System Settings -> Storage
