Rocksmith Cdlc

Even with perfect installation, issues arise. Here is the troubleshooting cheat sheet.

  • Problem: "The game crashes when I select a CDLC."
  • Problem: "The notes disappear during the solo."
  • Problem: "Steam updated and now CDLC won't load."

  • Once you have downloaded a CDLC file (usually in .psarc format), installation is easy.


    Here is the single most common frustration for new CDLC users.

    The game doesn't see my CDLC!

    Why? Ubisoft encoded their DLC with an App ID. The game only scans DLC that matches an ID you own. The community adopted a workaround: Re-packing CDLC to use the App ID of a specific official song.

    The standard is "Cherub Rock" by Smashing Pumpkins (Official DLC). You must purchase this song on Steam. It costs about $2.99. Once you own it, you use a tool called the Rocksmith Toolkit to "re-pack" any CDLC to use the Cherub Rock ID, or you download pre-packed files from CustomsForge that already use it.

    The Golden Rule: If you want CDLC to work without hiccups, buy Cherub Rock. It is a $3 key that unlocks the entire custom universe. rocksmith cdlc


    When Ubisoft released Rocksmith (and later Rocksmith 2014 and Rocksmith+), it revolutionized the way people learn guitar. The promise was simple: plug your real guitar into your console or PC and learn to play through an interactive, rhythm-game experience.

    However, for years, players faced a single, frustrating limitation: The Official DLC Library. While Ubisoft produced hundreds of high-quality official tracks, the licensing costs for top-tier bands (Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Metallica, AC/DC, The Beatles) often made them impossible to include. Fans wanted more. They wanted deep cuts, obscure indie tracks, and the hundreds of "never-going-to-happen" songs.
