Original Rocksmith DLC

[guitarman67]

Hi

 

I own Rocksmith 2014 but can't seem to find Bohemain Rhapsody on DLC, I have seen one on Steam but its is for the original Rocksmith Game, will I be able to buy this and use it on Rocksmith 2014.  Sorry if the question sounds stupid I'm a newbie and still getting used to the game

You can only use Rocksmith 1 DLC on 2014 if you own Rocksmith 1, unfortunately it's a limitation of Steam which prevents you from owning DLC for games you don't have.

Hi Thanks for the reply, I do own Rocksmith 1 and now i have Rocksmith 2014 and run it on Mac so will I be able to purchase it through steam and use on Rocksmith 2014 both versions show in steam.

Yes.  All RS1 DLC is forward compatible with RS2014.

Yes.  All RS1 DLC is forward compatible with RS2014.

Not exactly some aren't available in RS2014 due to copyright but that's just some specific case.

I thought that was just 2 of the on-disc songs from RS1?  An Eric Clapton and Cream song if I remember correctly.

 

I have a ton of original RS1 dlc, but not sure if I have it all.  I've never bothered to do a song-by-song check.

Oh yeah my bad i always thought they were also some DLC that weren't available, don't know why...

Hello again, I have purchased a rockmith DLC but I can't see it in Rocksmith 2014, I do have both games, the only thing is they I play Rocksmith 2014 on a Mac could this be the issue.  If this is the issue can I convert the DLC ?

[Wepeel]

Steam downloads DLC for both platforms.  Just check your dlc folder and make sure that it's there.  If it was the Queen DLC it will be in a file called "rs1compatibilitydlc_m.psarc".

 

Just to clarify, are you running both RS1 and RS2014 on your Mac?  If not, the dlc you bought may only have been downloaded onto the computer that has RS1 installed, since Steam thinks it can only work with RS1.  I only ask because of one of your comments above.

[Tysylio]

I think you have to buy the 'Rocksmith 2014 Disc Import Tool' to get all the RS1 songs converted to RS2014.  Then you should see them all within RS2014.

That's only for the on-disc RS1 songs.  It has nothing to do with DLC.

[supersmurf1000]

you have to buy the disc import tool and then in steam, go to update the file. google how to update files in steam. 

[Wepeel]

You do not need the disc import tool for RS1 DLC.  It's is ONLY for the on-disc RS1 songs.  That's why it's called the "Disc Import Tool".

[Tysylio]

Sorry if I confused the issue.   :wacko:

I have both RS1 and 2014 but two songs I loved on the first game didn't get transfered, the Eric Clapton one as mentioned above and House of the Rising Sun, is there any way to get this one onto 2014 to save me having to go onto the first game to play one song, any help or info appreciated?

[Wepeel]

House of the Rising Son should have been imported.  Double check to make sure you don't actually have it.  I have it on my list.

 

As for the Eric Clapton and Cream song, there's no way to get them into RS2014.  The licenses weren't renewed or extended for RS2014, and since they are official songs nobody can make a cDLC version.

[scott22373]

I was reading some comments about next weeks DLC and many were requesting songs that are on CF.  Do those people not realize there is CDLC out there.

[zanzibarnights]

Maybe they don't want to play custom songs?

Is there not a loop-hole for making cDLC for RS2014 for songs that are not released as official FOR RS2014?

 

i.e. The ones that were not re-liscensed for RS2014 have never officially been released as DLC for RS2014, therefore they do not exist as DLC for RS2014, and since RS2014 and RS1 are not compatible formats couldn't those songs be cDLC for RS2014?

That question has already been asked and answered:

In short, the answer is no.

Thanks, so many posts to read through here still :)

Does anyone know, by the way, if the RS1 songs off the disc can be imported into RS2014 if the 2014 is PC steam and the RS1 is 360?  (I'm assuming switching platforms means "too bad for you" but it doesn't hurt to ask)

They need to be on the same platform.  So you would have to buy RS1 for PC as well as the disc import tool in order to import the songs into RS2014.  RS1 is on sale as part of the Steam Holiday Sale at the moment though.   After the sale is over it will likely be a while before there is another sale (likely spring).

[grank]

Yeah, that's what I figured... it's just I already own 2014 for two platforms, because I started on 360 and switched to PC when I discovered customsforge. It seems dumb to own RS1 for two platforms as well, especially when I don't even plan on PLAYING RS1 ever again.  Even on sale, it's still $17.99 CDN, plus another $10.99 CDN for the import tool... I can't justify it. Oh well, that's life.

[Wepeel]

It was $7.49 last week, would have been a good time to buy it then.  Just watch out for another good sale I guess.  If you add it to you wishlist inside Steam you will get a notification when it goes on sale.

I don't mind paying for the import tool, but I do have a problem with having to buy the first game as well.

I don't see myself playing the game due to 2014 is better. I just want a few songs from that dics.

If they would let me buy them individually I would.

Any other way of getting the songs from RS1 on my pc version of 2014?
