Rocksmith 2014 - Mac OS

[Guest]

Good Evening All,

I've noticed recently on my version of Rocksmith 2014 (it's running through Steam), is performing more poorly than ever, more stuttering. less stability, and the note recognition worse than than usual. IE missing alot more notes even on easy songs as a test, the tuning is constantly off within the game more than usual and I've got several tuners all say it's fine, it's just the game. I've always had some kind of issue where it isn't perfect but it's runs pretty well.

Just to trouble shoot some things, I'm running through a docking station but I've always ran through this, skipped the docking station same issues, the Mac runs a fraction better if I'm skipping the docking station. I'm running on a M1 Macbook Pro 2020 13 inch, 8gb RAM. Using the Rocksmith Tone cable into the Docking station but tried it straight into the USB-C port and it's the same result. Tried using my Scarlet 2i2 as an interface instead of the RS cable and Spark 40w as the audio interface but again it's fractionally better but you can't hear what your playing.

I've recently upgraded guitars from a PRS SE Custom 24, to a Charvel Pro-Mod DK24 HH, now to a Ibanez RGT1221PB (I thought a hard tail would help with tuning stability for RS NOPE).

I'm wondering if the more time goes on and the Stream updates for Mac and Mac OS updates are heavily affecting the performance of RS since it's an old application.

Sorry for the long rant I wanted to give as much information as possible & thank you for reading.
