Rocksmith 2014 - Broken, IntentionallY?

[SirSly]

2000 hours in game. Master mode on and and just recently the game decided to delete most of my progress in almost all the songs even with master mode on.
Also, the game used to NOT activate the RS Cable until you logged into a profile. That's now changed as well The RS cable is active all the time. Never had any of these issues.
Of course, I think it's UBI messing with sh1t to force people to that horrifying RS+ title.
Anyone else having similar issues?

Steam can mess with stuff (They screwed up license management not too long ago), Ubi can turn off servers (leaderboards seem to be gone for example), your system can change, but the actual RS 2014 code is not going to change.

Also this "Force people to RS+" idea makes no sense. Do people normally buy more software from a company if they think that companies prior products are broken? What's the logic there? There is no way to force people to subscribe to something. Everyone is free to make that choice for themselves.

Ever heard of "planned obsolescence"?

No, none of those issues. Would you like help with this

UPDATE:
For some reason RS2014/STEAM (IDK why) decided to change all my game settings.
I love RS2014. RS+ is garbage. I wish they would have just improved RS2014. Added more DLC. Extended the features of RS2014.
One thing I've noticed. My PC volume control USED to control RS2014 volume as well. IDK whether it's a windows update, Nvidia etc, that change that. I have to use my Scarlett 2i2 to control RS2014 volume now.
UBISoft is also garbage. Can someone buy them out please. Mr. Musk...

[toymachinesh]

yeah, so it was a windows update and you still blame Ubisoft lol

[toymachinesh]

Windows Updates have gone woke? Sad to see

Probably best not to plug it in if you can FEEL the electric tbh

All, Appreciate your input good or bad. At the end of the day the conspiracy theorist in me suspected big tech.
I've played RS2014 with zero issues until I went to Win11.
Some how all my game settings it seems had been changed.
They're still not right 100% though once I start the game.
I can't control the volume with my keyboard volume control anymore as I used to do. I have to use my Scarlett now. Never had that issue before Win 11.
At least the game is working. BTW, running AMD 5950x, Nvidia 3080, 64 MB RAM.
