I can't get CLDC to work on a new RS2014 install.  

This happened on a fresh install a few months ago.  

I had to Repair them all in CSFM.  

I did that again and they still won't load they sit there and hang after the tuner, you get audio and can play your guitar....but the song never loads and starts.  

I did the "justincaseyouneedit" beta previous version because today's update breaks RS_ASIO.  

Is there something else I can try besides Repair?

Wait, I just re-downloaded AC/DC's Flick of the Switch and the new DL wouldn't load either.  

Is there any recourse here?

 

Assuming it's not the update or other fuckery like that, does anyone have problems with CDLC and RS_ASIO?

Came here looking for answers on the same issue. Rocksmith wouldn't launch unless I deleted CDLC patch.

The update screwed up my Rocksmith cdlc, because of some shenanigans I did before the update,It didn't delete many of my dlcs from working & staying in the game,but many it did delete which is total bs.(I can't say what I did because I don't want to get banned)

 

Bottom line though is that shame on Ubisoft for doing this forced update that screws over everyone's working game & deleted all my progress & favorites.

Update: Just checked & it's really random what songs got deleted & what didn't. Makes no sense really.(will have to check why that is)

Same old story after the update rocksmith does not start ..............................

 

I HOPE SOMEONE FIX THIS SOON 😞

Hi there guys,

I believe I am hitting the same problem. I was playing fine yesterday and this morning when I came to do my "usual-Saturday-routine" the software (doesn't matter if it is from Steam or clicking directly to the Rocksmith2014.exe) won't start and it doesn't say anything it just goes back from 'Stop" to "Green-Play" btn (or if you run the .exe you won't see anything at all).

I have uninstalled/re-installed, restart but nothing, the only way to make it run is to remove the D3DX9_42.dll from the Rosksmith folder...

I see from the post above that there was an update, was it a Steam update or a Rocksmith one? I am asking cause if it's the latter I am wondering if we can go back to the previous one.

So guys look here: 

 

 

i tried and it works fine! I just copy and pasted what winchester0021 posted and i got the option to select the previous version. tried and it works!

Hope this will help you too!

Happy Shredding!!!!

thank you

I had to install a Rocksmith 2014 update yesterday, it wasn't a Steam update, it was an update for the game. And exactly after this update Rocksmith stopped working, I can get it running with that cDLC dll file. I wanted to try to roll back the game to an older version, but it's not possible, I probably need a beta tester code to get that roll back function on steam.

So Ubisoft 100% screwed us again and forcing us to go to Rocksmith+ with their dumb subscription fees...

Solution:

There is a discussion in steam going on. One Steam user posted a beta code which can be used to get the previous version of RS2014

The Beta Code Is:

JustInCaseWeNeedIt

use this code to get the older previous version of RS2014

What i did was just delete the D3DX9_42.DLL file from the RS2014 directory, and it works. including CDLC. Thats it! Don't ask me why, but it works..... 🙂

Just tried that.  Still sees them in Play a Song but still just sit there at the amplifiers with  the ability to play the guitar but the song never loads and starts and I have to ALT-F4 out of RS.  

No problems here. After entering the Beta code and copiyng back the D3DX9_42.dll into the game folder everything works fine with CDLCs.

Has anyone managed to access the cdlc's? I'm still here with the same problem.

the legacy branch didn't do anything for me, i can still play vanilla and regular DLC tracks, but CDLC is completely unavailable (it just softlocks after tuning)

at times the audio bugs out and even crashes the game outright for me. way to go ubisoft, you've ruined your own damn game with just one update.

Here's what I did:
1. Delete the DLL
2. Start game and let it load songs
3. Close game
4. Download the DLL and place it in the folder

CDLC and rocksmith2014 works perfect again.

Yup, this is the one! Thanks for this bud! 

OK I"m dumb I had the DLL in the DLC folder not root.

Thanks for your hints. I found the .dll file and dragged it out of the RS folder. But, to be honest, I don't understand the steps 2 and 4 on the list:

2: what means "let it load songs"? Does it just mean opening the "Play a Song" section? Or does it mean something more?

4: Where can I download the .dll file?

 

Thanks for your help!

i believe by "let it load songs" they mean to load the game and stay on the main menu until the "enumerating downloadable content" box in the top right disappears. this means that the game has loaded all the songs from the folder and that they now all show up in the list. could take anywhere from less than a second to 30-40 seconds depending on how many songs you have.

the .dll file should be linked to somewhere in the tutorial section. just keep looking, you'll find it.

this is still happening 2 days later for me and i've tried every workaround (legacy branch, re-downloading the dll file, fresh re-install of the whole game) and i'm still unable to play CDLC. does anyone know what else i could possibly do?

Try using the new dll on the non-beta branch. The new dll probably doesn't work on the beta branch and could be the cause of this.

Hey, i've installed the beta and the rs mod and dlc enabler but It keeps giving me a sound error, I'm using Steinberg UR22 with the Yamaha Steinberg USB ASIO driver, can anyone help me?

Same problem for me too.  If the .dll is in the directory the program will not load.   Take it out (rename to .dll.bak) and it works, the Ignition4 songs are there but will not play: the thumbnail displays but Rocksmith hangs and I have to Alt-F4

Hi,

Mac Solution?
