Ok windows 7, just bought the 2014 remaster because I want to play the game again

Want custom dlc

so I get the dll, put it in the folder

I buy Cherub Rock

Dlc is there, its in game

I get spider dance because it's the first song that comes to head that can't be mistaken for songs the game comes with.

 

Nothing. 

 

Now the video showing what to do had their dlc in a folder, so I decided to take mine out and just put it in the normal area for it

 

Nothing

 

I restart the game

Nothing

 

I restart steam 

 

Nothing

 

The dll is unblocked, however there was no dll to replace in the base folder, so i'm wondering if that's an issue.

Am I missing a step that should be obvious but I completely disregarded? 

 

Any help is appreciated.

Have you tried turning it off and on again? :P

but on a serious note, im having similar problems haha

3d3x9_42.dll is in the proper folder as instructed. song  is in the folder as instructed.

 

i gt up t the point of tuning my bass. Pink Floyd -Another brick in the Wall part 2.

 

and that"s exaclly what is see. a brick wall.lol

 

speakers are there and i can play anything on the Bass. which is a good thing because I dont have an amp. !

 

Am I missing something?

You can also use CFSM to automatically install the correct dll into the correct folder.  CFSM comes with the dll.

For anyone interested in what my issue apparently was, I was trying 1 custom song, this song happened to have been downloaded once a long time ago and once recently, I didn't notice, the (1) at the end of it caused the song to not be recognized

 

Now, with that said, I have a question for anyone who may know

Is there a list of characters that do now work with a rocksmith song name? 

Is it the case that if the name of the file changes in any way shape form it no longer loads? 

 

i'm interested in what can make a song not work, but I dont have the time to load up the game, try to find said songs, close and load it back up. 

It may be worth putting this in any faq for installing custom dlc to make sure the song name is un altered. 

@@alidan All character work but it's the order that matters, if the file doesn't end with _p.psarc when you are on PC, the file will not work ingame.

yep, that's it, it saved as [song name goes here]_p(1).psarc

 

At least I now know exactly what went wrong.
