I've downloaded a couple of songs off the custom forge website to try and play on Rocksmith.  I download them and put them into my dlc file for rocksmith.  Rocksmith does recognize them in game. However, whenever I turn on the song, it will take me to the tuning phase and then after that the song will not load.  The speakers and everything still work because you can hear when you pick strings after the tuning.  I've tried using the rocksmith patcher, but it doesnt even recognize the songs. I also downloaded the D3DX9_42.dll file, and it didnt change anything.  Has anyone else had this problem?

i have also tried visiting @@firekorn link and i get the message " sorry we couldn't find that! you do not have permission to access this page"

Yep same here. Just got a new computer and did everything like I did before but CDLC just isnt working now :/

make sure you have the dll in the right place with the right name.

I have the same problem, I tried to change the D3DX9_42.dll and the program does not open, I tried re-applying the patch, it still doesn't work

 

Please help

any news? the custom DLC s not working anymore here too! =C

For updated steam games try this.

1. Place D3DX9_42.dll into rocksmith install directory.
Default: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Rocksmith2014
 

Alternate D3DX9_42.dll link:

2. Do a couple things to make sure you have the right files installed.

Download and open CustomsForge Song Manager 1.5.7.2 .

http://ignition.customsforge.com/cfsm

Under settings tab, mark check box on left to Validate D3DX9_42.dll and save settings. Later, check out all the awesome things this program can do. Thanks devs!

3. Try to start the game. If you get unable to start steamapi, start rocksmith from inside steam and it should run. If you don't see cdlc upon first start in rocksmith, restart game and it should work. Try a cdlc song you've previously played

Thanks Man!

@ Thank-you.  Step 2 helped me.  I followed step 1 (lots of people giving that advice), but on Windows 10, when I right clicked the DLL and checked the properties, it said the file came from a different computer and had a box to check if I wanted to unlock the file.  I did that, but it didn't seem to do the trick.  When I validated it, it told me the file was invalid and asked me if I wanted Song Manager to download the correct version.  Once I did that, everything was fine!

I'm still having the issue as the first post, I followed the video and everything is 100% in order. Tried the link but it doesn't work!

That customsforge link doesn't work. Is there another link? Did the address change? Thanks.

This one is current: Click Here

Its also under tools at the top menu bar of the site.

Good Luck

Thanks. Will this allow me to get the D3DX9_43.dll file? That's the file that I'm missing, preventing me from being able to play my cdlc songs.

Yes, Exactly.  Install CFSM, you can get it here: Link

Once installed, Open CFSM and go to the settings tab and make sure there is a checkmark in the box that says "Validate D3DX9_42.dll". This should check what you have against the newest version of the dll file and download it for you if it's not the latest version or missing.

Good Luck

if yove downloaded the .dll more than once it will have a (1) at the end this need s removing it can cause the songs not to play very obvious 

but many get caught up by it.

I still have this problem. To solve it, only the CSFM link posted on Jan 21st works. After installing this I have ticked the box to Validate D3DX9_42.Dll, it is in the correct directory and correctly named. The game is set to run as administrator and DLC songs do play. I have more songs downloaded and tried some of these but to no avail. Figure if I can get this one working the rest would follow too.
