I am playing rocksmit h2014 I get so far in the game and wihen I start up it will say I have corrupted files and I lose all my song backup files!  rocksmtih says it is because I am using custom files!  

  they say get rid of those and it will work fine.. maybe I have too many customs?

 

Has anybody else had this problem??

 

thanks

There's a couple of threads about this, yes.

 

Seems like it affects mostly people with hundreds of customs in their dlc folder. There might be an upper limit to how many Rocksmith can recognize. There may also be an issue with certain customs being 'poison' -- there's a thread for that too.

 

I don't see the point of keeping all of your customs in the DLC folder. Just put the songs in you're really going to play. Keep the rest in a separate folder -- this will also protect them from being affected if Rocksmith gets an update that makes adjustments to the DLC folder too (which could happen).

Also DON'T POKE THE BEAR!

Just so the rest of us may know, how many cdlc's do or did you have in your DLC folder ?

it's not due to the number of cdlc but some particular cdlc. Some people have over 1000 customs and RS works fine (just take a shit load of time to enumarate the downloadable content but that's perfectly normal).

 

To see some known cdlc that provoke the corrupted save file take a look here : http://customsforge.com/topic/4863-list-of-crashers-jammers-dead-toners-and-misc-problems/

I have 856 files in my dlc folder and haven't had any problems lately. I started one of the other corrupt save file threads and described my travails there. After crashing four times in short order, I now backup my save file on a regular basis, but haven't crashed lately. It sucks losing hundreds of hours of playing progress, though. You have my sympathy.

 

Hey mods, how about making a sticky warning people about this issue with instructions on backing up files? I certainly wish I'd heard about it before my first crash.

Thank you

We need to figure out exactly what's causing this. There's gotta be a way to fix the songs or whatever. I've just had my, I dunno, 4920483rd corrupted save.
