Trying to open a .kdbx database with correct password gives the following error "Unable to open the database. Wrong key or database file is corrupt". However, it does work on OSX. Repairing does not fix the issue. I remember also having few random successes before but that's about it.

Are you sure you have the proper password? Do you use a keyfile? You should compare the hashes on both machines, or copy again. Also check keyboard layout.

I had the same error. This answer on GitHub was the solution for me:
You always need to use ALL keys you used for creating the database. When you create a database with password and key file, you need to use both to unlock it. Make sure the corresponding checkboxes are ticked on the unlock screen.

I have the same issue altough I wouldn't use keepass anymore it's unreliably. I've seen many people with sudden database corruption. I have the same issue after months of use one day it just didn't work and hasn't since.. and it's not the keyfile.. even the developers can't help if you suddenly have this issue so I wouldn't use it personally. For future reference it's an amazing tool but imo not reliable.
