The format of a game data file cannot be read

"
"BaseItemTypes_Row": The format of a game data file cannot be read, is it out of date?


After I finished patching PoE I tried running it and I'm getting this exception now. Any solutions?

Edit: Nevermind, I was using a shortcut to an outdated client after having updated it. Problem solved.

Same problem since patch, tried running in Admin mode and same issue.

Edit:
I ran the PackCheck.exe in the folder and changed the PathOfExile.exe file name and ran it again and I didn't get the error this time.
