2 People lost save data to 2 of my cdlc's!

[dave5678]

I feel bad too. My save is fine even after playing and quitting both cdlcs using normal quit and Alt-f4 in game. They are 2 that I heard from so far. I just recreated the file using RS Toolkit 2.6.1.0 and used cdlc verifier and it says OK. I uploaded the new files. Its Justin Timberlake Senorita and Rock Your Body. This is kind of a warning, help request, and stress relief post all in one.

Are you sure the fault lies with your cdlcs?

 

Someone once accused my Wish You Were Here custom of making their profile crash.  Even though it had 3500+ downloads and no previous complaints.  Go figure...

[dave5678]

Yeah true. It had 150-180 downloads before anything. I went ahead and re-generated and everything just in case. Then checked with the verifier tool. Sucks but trying my best. Thanks PC Plum.

your dlc turned me into a newt!

 

^{_{well.. I got better}}

[dave5678]

Oh no!! Not the new version correct?

Is this the support group for victims of Dave's violence?  

 

Luckily I had made a backup save recently so I lost very little on the error so no worries from me.  I posted it in the Jammers thread and Lahelio confirmed the issue I believe.  Wasn't sure of the comment on the Rock Your Body  in terms of the version of Rocksmith - mine was purchased through Steam and is a legit version of it.  Only the 2nd song I've had issue with - had the Foo Fighters song that was originally identified as a save killer but unfortunately I didn't ever research the problem until I had the issue.

I don't see a real issue with saves getting corrupt , I've lost several saves and it's no biggie to me , every song is still always playable, I don't pay much attention to my score , how it sounds to me is more important ( I have the guitar playing through my amp via a splitter ). Maybe it's the way I use Rocksmith. What's the worst thing about losing your save ?

[madzillagd]

I've only been playing for about a year, so tracking my progress on the songs is very useful to keep pushing myself forward.  I keep several hundred songs in my play folder so I don't remember off the top of my head which songs I might be in the 80%s vs the 70%s etc.  With a lot of songs when I'm up there at or near 100% I rarely play again unless I really like the song because I'm not really learning anything by doing that.  I could go through and start removing them from my main folder but creates more hassle for the few times when I do want to queue it up.

This is copy paste from my topic...

 

First save file corrupting song is fixed !!! Metallica: Creeping Death is now fixed !!!
"it was either screwed up  sections that get imported or slide hitting 22nd fret id say most likely sections ALWAYS create your own"

 

And huntervandam tried 16 times, but he succeed before gave up...

 

Can't really help more. This far i have confirmed and listed only 10/10000 song to corrupt save... And only one is actually fixed.

But really, no bad feelings. I didn't loose any data. Thx to  madzillagd who hellbitted some and flagged first.

Just move on, if section thing won't work... and just keep on doing new awe songs.

I gladly test all new versions and surely your new songs.

Appreciate what you do, shit just happens sometimes. 

Thank you. Hat on, hat off.

 

It would be nice to know how many have actually played your song, 

Justin Timberlake: Rock Your Body

and restarted without issues?

You i know, How many more?

 

Edit: cdlc verifier seeks songs that have allready lost some data (only few bits) (good for that). Not songs that will loose data (only few bits) in save file after play. Only way to find save corrupting song is to play it AND restart. 

If save corrupters really act like you say (will not corrupt every save) there must be several others that do job. (non listed)

About 4 have been reported to me, but i couldn't confirm.

So if this case, i start to collect corrupt %. Your song case is now 75% (3/4)

More reports needed if we want more precise %. Reporter should know what issue is and how to prepare it...if shit happens.

 

And if shit happens without prepare (backups) use cozy1 save fix tool...

Now that you mentionned it, my savegame was corrupted 2 times after playing these two customs in two different cessions (I had downloaded the first version). I don't know if it is the real cause but... thanks for reporting it !

 

It's just boring to have to recalibrate everything before playing :)

 

And thanks for the save game fix tool information !

Quite many players have no idea that custom can do the job. They are only reason my save have corrupted ( about 30 times) includes lot of testing with corrupted ones... I highly recommend backups at least after every day played (fastest and most secure way)... but only if you see value to save info (favs, %, counts), or maybe just because you don't like to calibrate...

 

If you play random like me every new 1/1000 song will corrupt your save... that's just statics. If you are lucky you can do better or worst...

It sounds like you have done everything reasonable to prevent game save corruption.  Regenerated the CDLC, used the verifier tool, and tested and played CDLC before releasing to the community. 

 

It could also be that a few users have another CDLC installed that also has the same Arrangment ID as your CDLC, though the chance is very very small.  Your CDLC users can use the Custom Game Toolkit, "StataLog" feature to identify if two CDLC songs they have installed do have the same Arrangement ID.

 

Also in most cases, game saves can be recovered using Game Save Gigbox tool and if that doesn't work then I offer personalized repairs.

Maybe Rocksmith is just rebelling at having to bare through Justin TImberlake  :D

Can anyone help me with what file I should be backing up on Mac. To save %game progress and prefs. Thnx

[GuitTitan]

When i have a corrupted profile, i simply go to my profile folder and right click properties on both files, click on the tab Previous version and i restore the last working version.  But, of course, a backup of your profile (and your cdlc's) on an external drive is always better.
