Game crashes with CDLC after Steam updated Rocksmith 2014 today. S.O.S HELP!!!!!!

[GianRobles]

Steam had an update today for Rocksmith 2014, which began as I launched the app. I played last night, no problem. I noticed that the newest file in my dlc directory folder is "rs1compatibilitydlc_p.psarc", updated today. I tried playing offline, i tried deleting this specific file and launching without it and my game still crashes.  If anyone has any insight, please help. Additionally, I started getting an Ubisoft message bubble on the main menu with some pretty old messages and news.

Same here, I'm reinstalling the game, we'll see..

Same reInstalled and checked. Tried the RS2014-Mod-isntaller (as seen on chainbrains youtube channel). Flags the Steam version after the Update as pirated or stolen. 

[mrmagikk]

Me too, it works vanilla with no DLC and no .dll file ( the famous D3DX9_42.dll ) 

Then tried with the DLC in without the DLL the game starts ( songs won't play ofc )

As soon as I copied over the .DLL in the folder the game won't start.

We'll need help for a new dll or check what Ubisoft changed..

All right. Can confirm that the vanilla version runs flawless. Same.

 

Have you treid just running the RSMods.exe and checked the output ?

This is what I get as a response which would actucally eplain the issue with mod support:

 

I also checked the windwos event viewer:

Seems like the process cannot find the .dll anymore.

I don't use RSMods as I copy the files by hand but Coldrampage's post with the Beta did the trick.

Thanks so much!

[FabianM]

Ok. Coldrampage's post with the Beta did the trick for me aswell.

Thanks. Saved my weekend.

RS2014 is not working. Right now it is rejecting the D3DX9_42.dll file, which is the file that allows CDLC to play.
Is there a way to play CDLC in RS2014?

 

[Slapdown]

When they phase out the "JustInCaseWeNeedIt" beta, hopefully we'll still be able to play with all the CDLC

Can't confirm that. My starts pretty fine and it has the Beta version still in.
