How to use Custom DLCs in RS2014 Remastered [Updated for 2023]

[Sniper Reload3d]

That is updated version of the game which means you need the most current D3DX9_42.dll  from the current enabler. Beta version is 165.369567

I've found one, that is 131kb on the forum but it acts like 117 kb (won't start the game). Where I have to find the latest .dll? The last v2 CDLCenabler on site loads the 117kb dll.

[Sniper Reload3d]

I just downloaded and ran the enabler, and it was also 117kb. You are using the current build of the game, this is the .dll you should be using. Is your Direct x up to date?

If you are using a legit build of the game, it is updated, Direct X is up to date, the top reason for the game to get stuck at the amps on a cDLC is the .dll missing or wrong one. If you are using the current dll with the current build of the game, there is nothing more that I can think of at the moment, and you are going to have to wait for someone else, 

and your best bet is to go to the Discord server and seek help there.

Thank you anyway. I'll try to find the working dll.

Just curious if anyone has tried anything with Xbox dev mode on the series x/s, I looked into screen mirroring, couldn't get it working properly but assume if I do the rocksmith cord on the xbox still may not be recognized or there would be delay.

Is the installer put the D3DX9_42.dll in the proper folder, in the same folder with rocksmith2014.exe

did you remember to put the cdlc in the dlc folder / sub folder of the dlc folder

is the steam installation on the same drive as windows or on a secondary drive

[maxdl19]

I have Rocksmith installed in the directory J:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Rocksmith2014, but the installer can't manually find the directory. Has anyone experienced a similar problem?

I installed the game on a not-system drive and had to browse to show the installer where Rocksmiths .exe is. Then it worked for me.

The enabler is the patch file installer. It is available in the very first top post of this thread. https://ignition4.customsforge.com/tools/cdlcenabler

As Tmlt said, you will have to browse to show the enabler the install path since your root folder is on an extended drive. It maybe easier to copy the enabler over to the root Rocksmith folder and run it from that folder.

Also, since you are using the game on a secondary drive, give this thread / Dowsett's post near the bottom for the fix on how to fix not showing cdlc: https://customsforge.com/index.php?/topic/67574-new-cdlc-doesnt-show/#findComment-377516

Remember to back up any and all cdlc before uninstalling / reinstalling the game.

is there any way to do this for rocksmith 2011?

[Sniper Reload3d]

The songs on this site have been converted to 2014. RS1 used a different file system. In the past, the Rocksmith Tool kit was able to convert songs to RS1. You had to use a very specific version of WWise. There was a site (Smithy's Anvil) that hosted cdlc for RS1 that basically died about 6 months after Rs2014s release. In Internet years, that is ancient. If there is a will, there is a way. I personally do not have the patience or knowledge or focus. All I can do is provide this and following information.

I also personally do not remember how cdlc was enabled on Rs1, nor did I personally ever. I believe all you had to do was put the songs in the correct folder and change the song id to a song dlc you owned. I believe Dammit by Blink-182 was used. If this is true, it will be problematic as no dlc is currently purchasable, meaning nearly impossible.

There were threads on here asking the same thing, they are all ancient in internet years as I said. Here is one: https://customsforge.com/index.php?/topic/47533-creating-dlc-for-rs1/#findComment-291281

I do not mean to sound negative here, but you are swimming against the riptide / banging your head against the wall / trying to get blood from a turnip or a stone.

no anda rocksmith en steam?

Did the game work before applying the patch? I am assuming this is a fresh install? A lot can be assumed, but there is a lot of missing background information on what you are doing.

hi, im new. Is there any way to convert the pc custom songs to use it on ps3?

Have not done it myself, and am not super knowledgeable on it. I believe you need a modded ps3 to do so, I have no idea what is involved in doing so.

as far as converting CDLC, read these threads;

https://customsforge.com/index.php?/topic/67344-ps3-cdlc-tutorial/

https://customsforge.com/index.php?/topic/15799-convert-pc-cdlc-to-ps3/

this post;

https://customsforge.com/index.php?/topic/67497-help-converting-pc-cdlc-to-ps3-format/

but as far as jail breaking and transferring you should start with reading these to gain knowledge on how to get the cdlc onto the Ps3 first;

https://customsforge.com/index.php?/topic/7156-help-to-get-started-with-rocksmith-2014-on-ps3/#comment-343948

https://customsforge.com/index.php?/topic/10994-install-cdlc-to-you-ps3/

I would venture there is yet more needed to know how to do so. Again, I have no experience with cdlc on a Ps3.

Hi I'm new here so may have missed something obvious. ⁷

When I download a song file where does it go? It's not in my download folder and it doesn't take me to an external site to get the p.psarc file.

However, I do see a green box on the top right of ignition page saying downloading file.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks

It should go to where ever your Downloads are set to, whether that is your Downloads Folder or another folder you have set as default.

[Griggsy]

Thanks for the reply,I'll check my settings later when home.

Looking forward to using this amazing site.

Make sure pop ups are allowed for this site as well when you check. That may be the problem if pop ups are blocked.

Glad 'we' were able to help! I've been asleep at the wheel lately due to work concerns and also since most queries aren't Mac-oriented, but @ Sniper Reload3d  is very dedicated and works hard to help, so I'm sure he appreciates the thanks!

For my part, I appreciate that you took the time to come back and let us know. Deeply appreciated!
