I have done ust about everything that people have reccomend on the Interwebs. The game goes into full screen mode for about 2 seconds, then crashes. Then it like starts in the upper left screen mode and then it crashes. Any tips will be helpful.

Best Regards,

Brett.

EDIT: Now it just says Steam must be running in order to start the game. Ovbiously Steam is running because TF2 and my other games start.

Take a peek over on the help forum. Sounds like it is a video issue to me. How does your .ini file look? Also verify your local files. http://steamcommunity.com/groups/rocksmithhelp

http://pastebin.com/jQSxf0aX is my .ini file. I've edited it a little bit. I have also veryified my local files.

Try going into your ini file and editing the fullscreen variable to 0.

Thanks man! It worked!

[Witchetty]

Happy to help! Just make sure that it works if you change the settings back to having full screen on in game, if it doesn't, you can easily just change the setting again in the ini file. You might end up having to play it in windowed mode if it doesn't though (so make sure to change the ini file's resolutions to your monitors native resolutions).

I've got another quick question if you don't mind. I've been tuing my guitar in Rocksmith, but I can't seem to get past the A string. It's always within +2 or -2. Any tips?

[caldaar]

First question I would ask is... Did you have your guitar setup by a shop?

If the pickups are too close to your strings, they can pull the the string in and out of tune as it vibrates. Also, if they are too far away it can be hard for the game to hear the string. I had the issue with my guitar, it seemed good enough to me and sounded decent except the tuning was a pain. Had the shop setup the guitar with new strings... and it now sounds Great, great sustains, and is easy to tune. I made sure that they knew I would be changing tunings often so they can adjust the action accordingly.

Another thing to try would be to re-do the calibration. When it says to make noise, just strum the strings like you would play them... Don't hammer on them. When it asks to mute, mute the strings and let off.

[Witchetty]

So the game would show in the precision tuner that the A string was in the range between +2 and -2, but it wouldn't accept it? (There's a circle that fills up in the indicator that tells you to hold the note for a short period of time.)

That sounds like a guitar issue that is out of my level of expertise (when it comes to guitars, I'm only a beginner), but do ensure that your volume and tone knobs are turned up fully when trying to play the game (if they're not fully turned up, turn them up again then go into calibration mode and do that whole thing again), then try the tuner again.

Sorry that I couldn't be of any more help, but Caldaar is right, it does sound like it could be an issue of your strings being too close/too far from your strings. You can adjust them yourself if you have the right sized screw driver, just be careful not to overdo it, also it probably won't sound the best when you plug it into an actual amp, so taking it to a proper guitar shop is probably one of the better things you can do.

Are you letting the note ring long enough? You can play the game without perfect tuning. I do it all the time. I play with it even as large as maybe 5 or 7. You may have a volume issue, either in windows recording devices or just turn up the volume on the guitar. Or if you have old cruddy stings if you have had the guitar a while and that is making them stop ringing too quickly.

What was the .ini file? I have all of the sudden the same problem. What is the name of the file that I should edit?

[Witchetty]

It's just named Rocksmith.ini, it should be in the root folder of the game (x/steam/steamapps/common/Rocksmith2014/Rocksmith.ini)

ive had this since release and im just now getting this stupid ini bug. WTF I play this ♥♥♥♥ through so many terrible bugs and have to restart every now and again to get the sound to work and now this. Its reallly irritating.

[Igakusei-chan]
