New patch didn't broke the cdlc.

Thought that the update would break the cdlc again, but aparently it didn't, at least for the ones that I've checked so far

lol.. RS DOES use denuvo, the x86 variant, so you are TOTALLY incorrect there, and i DO own the game (and cherub rock for that matter), so how about not making (incorrect) assumptions eh ?

 

and as a matter of fact it has used denuvo since the release of remastered

 

even sort of mentioned on the ubi forums -> http://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php/1502747-Rocksmith-2014-Remastered-Known-Issues

 

scroll down about 3/4 or look for 'codefusion.technology' - codefusion.technology is a domain owned by denuvo.. and the code has tell tale signs of denuvo if you know what to look for along with the heavy vmprotect usage

@@evlncrn8 Excuse me that so far, all user that have encountered the 'unable to initialize steam api' were using illegal copy of the game, so i could only assumed you were using an illegal copy and as far as i know this message is in no way link to any Denuvo code. i might be wrong but that message is a steam message related...

 

Anyway, i'm glad you sorted your issue.

np, actually that exact message comes from the denuvo code itself, and also being a simple messagebox with just the ok button, the wording is a bit generic i'll definitely give you that, but its not from the game code itself (as there is no language transition for it) :) and i've also heard it does happen on umm less legitimate versions, so all cool,

 

i really do own it legit (its a kind of must have especially when dealing with updates and such), the thing that gets me more angry is how this somehow slipped through denuvo and square enix' qa testing (i cant be the only person in the world using the steam beta clients).. also happened to me on hitman update (2 days ago or so), where hitman simply wouldnt load (it loaded fine before), it didnt do the messagebox, it just silently exited... so i fixed that today too :).. the messagebox in rs 2014 remastered though is only present in the denuvo x86, which (as far as i can tell) unfortunately rs 2014 remastered was the first to use

The strangest thing happened today. I played my CDLC earlier today like I normally do (Open steam, then open the Rocksmith Injector). Now when I try and open the Rocksmith Injector with Steam open, nothing happens. It doesn't initialize the game. I've tried deleting the local files from steam and reinstalling the game, and I've tried redownloading and replacing the Rocksmith Injector that I found on the forums here for the recent Mac fix. I'm at a loss as to what failed.

comes up with the 'unable to initialize steam api' denuvo crap for me, 2 in a row now, hitman doesnt run for me anymore and now rocksmith 2014 remastered, trying verifying cache atm .. will report back, the dll didnt use hard coded addresses for the patch area, so unless ubisoft changed the signature check significantly it'll still work, however this denuvo crap means i cant even make a working dump to find the pattern.. grrrr

 

edit

 

file integrity - all good, so thats not the problem

renamed the d3dx9_42.dll to rule it out as being the problem - same shit "unable to intiialize steam api"

ran older backup rocksmith2014.exe - same shit "unable to initialize steam api"

 

i am online, and other steam games work fine...

 

so the problem clearly is with the denuvo code (perhaps their servers are down or something or they have a huge bug).. will keep trying but for now my hands are tied a bit...

 

the 'unable to initialize steam api' is the denuvo generic error message... so it doesnt help much

 

edit (final update)

 

OPT OUT OF THE STEAM CLIENT BETA IF YOU ARE USING IT - THIS IS THE SOURCE OF THE 'unable to initalize steam api' denuvo dialogbox...

 

then all works fine (including hitman)...

 

cdlc worked using the dll, so no change required... yay

Run steam as admin one time. Even if your account has admin privies, right click run as admin.

 

Start rs2014 then exit rs, should work under normal acct perms after.

Exact same problem here. Check and see if Steam automatically installed the patch update. Must have something to do with it.

I noticed that as well. It has made me scratch my head at what went wrong.

There has been a update to Rocksmith 2014 Remastered and the OSX and possibly the Windows (don't know not using that one) RSinjector no longer works :(

@@TheDude Windows user as fine, not sure about mac user though.

 

@@aequitas or @@xavatar , we know the executable on windows changed after the update, can you check to make sure the RSinjector is still working correctly?

Same problem here. The current RSInjector doesn't work with the new patch.

Man, forced updates suck. If I paid for a game, and it works 100% fine on my computer, I shouldn't be forced to update, especially if the update might not work on my computer. -Mad Mac Rocksmither

I've got the same problem.  :(  :angry:

was REALLY hoping to play today :/ oh well. Damn mac and rs updates, just gotta be patient until a new rsinjector comes out

... after the 10 mac users accessing the thread produced a DDoS the page is rendering again. ;)

 

With the injector app nothing happens - when starting the RS app you see the reason - it's a segmentation fault and probably the address has changed.

Starting the game with the blue "Play" button works for me - and it's with the customs in the songlist.

 

Edit - customs are not playable - it freezes after the tuning screen, but you can play the official songs and dlc until the address change is corrected in the injector.

Mac ... customs are listed, via steam... but the game freeze if try to play?!?! Only with original songs works

Mac ... customs are listed, via steam... but the game freeze if try to play?!?! Only with original songs works

At least it starts from the steam app - I've not tested a custom (I cancelled it at the tuning screen) and edited my post after it failed for a custom.

 

The code was fixed when remastered was released and I'm confident that somebody will find the new address. I don't have the tools and for a few days it's ok to play the official (dlc) songs.

Hey people! I was loving playing rocksmith on ps4 and I decided to purchases it on steam yesterday and now i figure they cucked it with the new update. Can anybody give a step - by - step on how to do cdlc? Everything I find online isn't up to date! Thanks friends!

One more Mac user stuck again. If any of the guys that fixed it with the original Remastered update needs any info, pleas PM me. I will do my best to provide any needed info.

So I want to make sure of something....

 

Is everyone who has the game working with CDLC still getting master mode? Or is anyone else not seeing it start ever?

 

I haven't had it once since the update.

@@dukeeastwood it starts for me... are you sure it's not disabled somewhere?

@firekorn  yep, I'm sure. There's an option in the "advanced" menu in song, and one in the "options" menu outside of the songs--both are for sure on. I haven't seen anyone on these forums who's had the master mode problem yet. I've contacted Ubisoft about 6 times over it and haven't heard anything back from them; so, I'm making sure it's not an issue caused by the CDLC.

Any good news for Mac users? Give my weekend back! Damn you STEAM!
