How to do a clean install of Rocksmith 2014

[Nithrash]

Hi, after formatting the pc, and reinstalling RS 2014 from steam adding only the .dll for the cdlc, I noticed that the game settings hadn't been restored to default and that it also contained the tones I had saved, this makes me think then that some settings are saved to the profile via cloud or what?

The game has steam cloud sync for the saves (which also contain your saved tones), but I don't think it should also sync the game settings.

If you delete rocksmith.ini from the games install folder it'll make a clean one when you launch the game reverting your visual/audio settings to default.
If you want to delete your saves they're located here but you might have to disable cloud saving first and then re-enable it once you've made a new save.

So just delete the .ini file or maybe create a new profile to have everything clean
