Rocksmith 2014 PC Forum

OK, with the help of winehq, I was able to make Rocksmith 2014 run with Crossover:

Rocksmith 2014 will run fine, just as Steam installs and upgrades it, without any "no-cable patches", if:

1) Use winealsa.drv instead of pulseaudio (I edited the registry for that)
2) Use a relatively recent version of wine (newer than 2014/december).
3) Set
Win32UltraLowLatencyMode=0
in Rocksmith.ini in the program's directory.

This was tested with wine, in more than a version, and with Crossover 15.3.1.
I will upgrade asap to 16.0.0 and re-test.
.
Thanks to Martti Huttunen from WineHQ.

Now what? Maybe this should be on "Tips & Tricks", but I'm not sure how to add it. There is only a link that leads to "contact CodeWeavers".

Also, I don't know if this can be added to a CrossTie. When I find some time I'll try to learn about it..

Got Rocksmith 2014 working with Crossover 16.0.0, works (nearly) like a charm.
I also had no luck with Rocksmith 2014 and PulseAudio (tried both with and without nocable patch). It is possible to use alsa output driver (enforced via registry) talking to pulse, but sound quality suffers a lot. Setting ExclusiveMode=0 and Win32UltraLowLatencyMode=0 in Rocksmith.ini is still required.

Interesting, sound quality is fine, for me, even using the winealsa driver. Have you tried increasing the buffer size in "Audio Engine Settings"? Also, I can keep ExclusiveMode=1, without problems. Only need to set Win32UltraLowLatencyMode=0.

Hello Silvio.

Im Rocksmith advocated too, i can't get rocksmith to work, i have issues with the resolution.. weird. Your rocksmith 2014 is still working?
Regards!

Hi, Drakeman! Yes, it works! Have you tried to go to your Rocksmith Bottle, then run Wine Config, Choose the Graphics tab and enabling a virtual desktop? Also, I searched for the Rocksmith.ini configuration options and found lots of options to setup video: windowed, exclusive or non-exclusive fullscreen, quality, resolution, effects, etc.
