Thankyou for your input and I'll heed your warning, But for FYI I do have a genuine steam original Rocksmith 2014 on my other laptop but as it had no dedicated graphics card I have recently upgraded my machine, as I heard that steam have stopped you from downloading RS14 as a view to selling their RS+ so technically if I already own RS14 then it's not really classed as a copyright infringement but I understand you have certain rules and policy procedures, so I apologise unreservedly.  I will try and download the dll, file and see if that works, thanks again.

You can still download it if you own it, you just can’t buy it, I believe.

Hello,

I come here to ask for any help, I don't know what to do next.

I have the "white screen" crash. When i press Play, the game launch on white screen. After few secondes, RS logo appears on the bottom right and then, the game just stop.

Of course, I tried to find a way to make it work but unsuccessfull.
Here is a list of things i tried:

• Uninstall / Reinstall (about 5 or 6 times to try differents solutions on fresh installation)
• With and without dll (no CDLC in directory)
• Disabled every audio in/out (i'm using VM Potato on a G935 and Yeti mic; set G935 as default so it was the only in/out)
• Exclusive mode checked/unchecked (Audio settings + Ini file)
• Different resolutions (Ini file)
• Verified files (always find 1 missing, see below)
• Previous version (Beta branch with the magic code)
• Compatibility mode
• Launch as admin (created a new problem, so unchecked quickly)
• Real Tone plugged/unplugged

About the missing file, everytime i try to launch the game, the steam_appid.txt disappear. It's the only file who seems to be missing (manual check of every folder).

Here is the link for the mdmp file (if needed):

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oV9OP5IZbg_m6d6NjqIbccaLCuQSTvxD/view?usp=sharing

The last time i launched the game was months ago, before a full reset of my computer. The game worked perfectly (with CDLCs), VM Potato was on but output was forced on G935 (too much audio lag with VM). No exclusive mode.

I don't know what to do, looks like i tried every solution without any good result. I'm begging you, hope that anyone will be able to help me in this dramatic (not so?) situation. 

I can’t help you myself, but you could try the Discord for RS2014 if you don’t get a response soon. It’s more active.

Hello. I'm not good at English. I don't know if I can convey it well. A few years ago I was playing CDLC on the Windows app Steam. I recently rebooted and found that I was no longer able to play CDLC. Will I be able to play if I overwrite it with the installer at the top of this topic? Someone said that their data disappeared in the post above, so I'm wondering if it's a good idea to add it. I would appreciate it if someone could tell me. You may have other similar questions. Sorry I couldn't find it properly.

Your English is fine!

Replacing the installer will not damage anything. Thats is the first thing I would suggest.

@ hepcecob Hmm, that's curious. I don't know the answer to that one (mainly Mac myself).... If someone else can't help you here, I would suggest asking through the Discord channels. They are monitored more than this is and you can usually get a helpful response in short order.

I fixed it : 
I downloaded CustomForge Song Manager
I changed all the IDs from Cherub Rock (default when downloading CLDC) to a Volbeat ID (Since I already had that DLC) -> resulting in CDLC showing up again. 

Thanks for letting us know; that's the thing to do, on PC (on Mac there is a utility just for that; see https://github.com/glebb/rocksmithconvert/.

Are you using PC or Mac?

…

Having Cherub Rock is no longer needed, in fact no dlc is now required with the latest patch (cdlc enabler).

Sorry we had power out.

siunds from OP post, PC.

Just for the record, on Mac you still need an ODLC and must run the converter tool if you don’t have Cherub Rock.

@ PC Plum Always appreciate hearing success stories ! Thanks a lot!

Good job and thanks for letting us know!

Also make sure there is only the latest DLL.

@ Jay2019 rhanks for the feedback. It always helps to keep us informed on new issues and solutions so that the info can be used later. And we also appreciate when people do a little bit of digging into the recent path, it eases the load

Seems there’s always a twist on something previously solved!

Thank you, Sniper. I truly appreciate your efforts to help me and your commitment to finding a solution.

 I followed your advice and read through all of Nick's  and your posts about DLLs, starting on page 45. On page 41, I finally located the correct DLL. This is the link that worked for me.

What’s puzzling to me is that the Enabler should have got you the same result. Guess as long as it works it doesn’t matter!

If he is using Windows the latest installer does not require a oDLC. (Refer to your Nov 23 post.) Would need to verify as you said if the installer was run, and if it put the .dll in the main folder that has the rocksmith.exe, and that the cdlc was indeed put into the DLC folder.

Thanks. I have a mind like a sieve and it's hard to scroll back on iPhone... Appreciate the clarifications! I knew Cherub Rock wasn't a requirement, wasn't sure about having one just for the sake of having bought one. Now I know... until I forget again

@ GHST316 Did you run the installer? (I assume PC means Windows; the latest installer should take care of the various CPU configurations and doesn’t require rekeying to Cherub Rock. You *may* need at least one purchased DLC—I’m on Mac so @ Sniper Reload3d  can maybe help here.

Also, none of this will work unless it’s a purchased copy of RS (I mention it for completeness).

HTH

OK, I Can Not figure out how to get CustomsForge to work with Steam and Rocksmith 2014 Remastered for the life of me on my PC. I've been trying for years now. …

Ok, no worries. Let’s take it one step at a time.

1. Start with a fresh, clean RS u der Steam. Get rid of the thing and re-download through Steam. We want to get rid of any invisible hiccups.

2. Make sure RS runs normally.

3. IF it does, run the latest installer for PC. If you get any guff about viruses you’ll just have to swallow hard and go ahead. (If you can’t proceed at this point, let us know.

4. Repeat step 2.

If you get past step 4 we’ll worry about CDLC next.

Sorry about the pedantry, but it’s the best road to success….

@ Vjeshitza Well, how about that, for once a straightforward fix!!

Glad you’ve got it working, and thanks for letting us know!

I’m not a windows expert, but:

1. The installer may know about the CPU or not, but it won’t hurt to try it (you may get virus warning but that’s also discussed recently , not an issue)

2. if you look up you can find someone with the high thread CPU and how and where to get the right patch, which you can place manually.

Just make sure you don’t have two there.

Thought it was covered in the/your video as well but as I didn't see he that had, I mentioned it in my last post.

Well... there's a lot of stuff, so things can drop out in reading. That's another good reason for the FAQ type of thing. It's hard to keep track of what was said or not on here....

@ Sniper Reload3d FYI, @ Ballhooter got it working. It was suggested on Discord that the app IDs be changed to one he had. I thought we'd already covered that, but, whatever, it's now working, which is why we're not hearing more about it now.

Another happy customer

i dont know why or what, but every single browser i try to download it from refuses, states there is a virus so its not letting me download, so guess im SOL? 

The link referred to in the previous post begins with “os5”, btw.

46 minutes ago, Sniper Reload3d said:

When and how did you obtain Cherub Rock?

Ah, yes. There’s that. And… not the root folder, the DLC folder for Cherub Rock. CDLC go in a subfolder of the DLC folder.

sorry to say the “flu” or whatever it is is at me again, so I likely will not be monitoring much

@ Nick Beat  Hope you are feeling better!

@ Sniper Reload3d  Thank you for your help.

I tried your suggestions, but still not seeing any of the CDLC files showing up. Only the ones I had before (bobmtre, elvisusp, funsome, jackiwan, outkheyy, traidrop). I added cherubrock to this directory (originally was in the 'Song Pack I' folder). I also got rid of the _p file (since I'm on a mac).

I now have cherubrock_m in the root folder and other _m songs in the 'Song Pack I' folders.

Still no CDLC songs are showing up. I'm guessing it is usually easier than this... Thank you for the help.

Hmmm. Ok, I’m going to suggest you head to the Discord group (see below an at top of page and visit #mac-os. You can ask there, @Ping_for_mac_os is the expert. Sorry we couldn’t get it fixed

Welcome, this is what we are here for. I mean getting it to work, not the praise.

Lol and don’t forget the promotions… I just got one lol

Thanks. I have memory issues and I know we zipped it the other day just wasn’t sure whether I hosted it that way or not. The new page will be really helpful when I put stuff there in an organised fashion…

ok this downloaded but i dont have an app that can open it .  i am running windows 10 

If you mean unzip, just find an unzip utility online. There are all kinds, done with free trial.

if it’s a DLL file, you don’t open it, you put it in the folder where Rocksmith.exe is.

(sorry, I can’t remember whether I zipped it or not and I can’t go check right now)

If you are using a mac I do not know the steps. If you are using a PC you may have to temporarily stop your anti-virus, or disable or make and exclusion for Window's Defender.T

If PC you could give him the NAS links. I’d do it but it’s had to do much on an iPhone and the computer isn’t accessible to me just now…. (Even answering here is a pain on a phone)
