RS 2014 Crashes Session Mode

[piepesado]

First couple of days with RS 2014 installed I played my bass and a little while in Session mode with no issues.

Yesterday I connected a guitar and all I'm doing is playing in Session Mode and I'm getting "Rocksmith 2014 stopped working" crashes. This freaking sucks big time :(

Does anyone else have the same crash issue??

[piepesado]

I could play Session Mode for over 30 mins last time and I got the crash again. It seems to only happen on this mode. Anyone played SM for a long time in the PC version? No crashes? My computer is stable and I'm above recommended hardware requirements. I logged a Ubisoft ticket but no answers so far.

Yep i keep getting issues where the game starts lagging in SM, then bugs out whre the control stop working (space bar etc), but the backup keeps playing?

I've been having the same issue. Session mode after about 5-10 minutes will suddenly hiccup, then give me a loud buzzing through the speakers, then I get a game crash message. Rather annoying since session mode is the toy I want to play with...

Came here to post this, also happening to me. I can get about 10 minutes of playtime before it kicks me to desktop with a loud buzzing noise.

I updated my video drivers to the latest from NVidia and it didn't crash during my last game session. Not sure if it was actually fixed or not.

When I did a debug analysis on the crash dumps from the previous crashes it reported that the error was in what appeared to be a drawing function of some sort, so MAYBE the video driver update helped.

I just tried your solution Preacher, as I did have a driver update. Unfortunately that didn't fix it... hopefully there will be a patch soon. Session mode is my favorite part of this game :/

I agree with you, annoying stuff to crash when you are in the zone and playing some good music, hate that.

Also I updated my nVidia graphics to R331 driver version a couple of days ago, it lasted longer to crash but it crashed to.

Now something really odd.. I'm playing with bass now in Session Mode, I played for more than 2 hours in total, different sessions and I cant get the game to crash with Bass, really weird stuff. Will hook up the guitar now and update

Having the same issue here too. Sometimes it crashes after 2-5 minutes, other times I can play for 20-30 minutes with no crashing. Windows 8.0 and Radeon HD 7700 series here.

Out of curiousity, where are you all in terms of session mode challenges? I am trying to complete the "play for 20 minutes straight". Just wondering if the bug is linked directly to that challenge.

Right on!!

The bug is associated for specific session mode missions. I remember the 20 minutes mission that crashed several times. With bass I had no issues since the missions I played with bass were ok and when I played guitar now the last couple of hours those buggy missions were already completed.

Right now I'm over with learn mixolydian scale mission and its working fine, hope there are no more bug missions.

How many times did you try to get past that mission? I'm on my 5th attempt and I just want to get through it so it stops crashing :(

[Preacher403]

Hmm, I was on one of those missions when mine started crashing. Eventually it managed to add up to the 20 min (or whatever) and that's about when I started doing updates, so that may be the source of the issue.

[piepesado]

20 minutes playing in Session Mode and it crashed again, this blows :( I thought that issue was over

My ticket to Ubisoft support explaining the bug has more than one week opened and still no updates from their side..

[brontok28]

same problem. playing session, freezing, the audio buzzing, then crash.

[Dirty Dave]

Same problem, I was trying to complete playing in different roots for 10 mins, crashes after 5 mins or so
