Not Recognizing Game Folder

[urboibigge615]

I am using a non steam copy of the game and the program is not recognizing the folder as rocksmith. Is there any fix for this?

Yes, buy the game on steam. The mods won't work with the pirated copy due to how the game is slightly different.

I'm using the steam version, same problem. Dialog loops asking me to select the folder but doesn't like it when I do. My steam install is valid, although it's been moved around different drives but rocksmith works fine and steam has no issues with it. No error message other than simply repeating the folder selection every time I land on the Rocksmith root folder on my "T:..." drive. One of the attempts must have done something because I do see the ini file in the correct folder; however no RSMods folder or exe, hence I doubt it's installed correctly.

Also any chance of switching the folder selection dialog to one where you can simply paste a path? Having to click about 9 nodes on a file tree is a bit tedious :D

Update: I have manually verified the system registry for this game is correctly listed under Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Steam App 221680

We found what was causing this issue, and it will be fixed in the next update of the mods.

For the mean time, try to find out where RSMods.exe is located, then move it to the new location and open up the GUI_Settings.ini in the RSMods folder. There should be a "RSLocation=" line inside that file which will allow you to paste the location of your Rocksmith install.

Thanks for the fast response. Seems to do the trick, not sure as my use case still doesn't seem to work but that's probably me more than anything else (trying to route ASIO output device to fake dongle input). Thanks again

I'm having the same issue. I tried to do the temp fix, but there is no folder for RSMODS? I'm not sure if im doing something wrong.
I downloaded the .exe file and ran it, but no folders have been created.

Update: So ive found the RSMods folder after a reinstall. But I cannot locate the GUI_settings.ini

So i just downloaded the code (ZIP) and extracted to RS2014 folder (.\common\RS2014<RSMODS>), then run as admin, and selected .\common\RS2014\ folder. Hope this helps.

This didnt work for me.

Although it's an old issue, I just tried the RS2014-Mod-Installer (1.2.7.2) and it wasn't able to find my Steam installation of Rocksmith 2014 Remastered. Also, the "Browse For Folder" dialog doesn't seem to work on Windows 11 (?). It looks like this:

Game is not on a beta branch and is updated.

@Choque There was a new issue reported about this, and there were some steps to workaround it. It has to do with Onedrive.
