bricked?

[Grimm]

I am seeing alot of "issues" as I redownloaded the game today, to get back into playing, and every time I try to launch it, it says running, then flips back to play, without ever launching. I have verified all the game files, Run steam as Admin, and every other "hack" people have suggested. Is anyone else unable to access their game? Super frustrated

It's older software and newer hardware and other software can be many a culprit in using Rocksmith properly. Don't use so called beta version, since most fixes rely on having the latest version.

If you were using CDLC before make sure you have the updated version.

This will also mostly fix a problem when you have a newer high threading cpu.

There's a bunch of other stuff that can interfere, like Razer sonar, Elgato, Nvidia sounds software. Using a VR, or even an Asus mouse can be problematic.
So without having more knowledge about your system setup (hardware/software) it's just guessing, but I hope the above fix could already.

Oh and I forget to mention windows updates can be just as bad. Direct x 9 issues are common as Windows will remove or not install dx9 properly by default, since it thinks their more recent version is fully backwards compatible. It isn't. And it's needed by Rocksmith.
