So I had just binged on second son and 100 percented the good story line when I noticed that my trophies weren't showing up in the trophy list. I tried to sync and I got the aforementioned error. Repeated trying did no good, so I went online. I discovered that the error is quite common and several solutions were offered up, such as initializing the ps4 (extreme), rebuilding the database among others.
Initialising the ps4 was out if the question as id lose the trophies since the error. Rebuilding the database did not work. But one tip did in fact work:
When the trophies stop syncing, play the game that you were playing and get one more trophy. As soon as you get the notification, hit the ps button and go to notifications and select the trophy notification. This will sync the trophies and remove the error.
I basically had to start a second evil play through and when I got one of the first evil trophies I tried this method and it worked. If you don't have any more trophies in the game, you may be out of luck, and will have to initialise. However you can try getting a trophy in another game to see if that works.
Sony should seriously look into this bug as it's pretty significant for the user experience. The problem is old enough that the last update should have included a fix.
