Hey, so LRB is broken in yet another way.
If you load the PAL Xbox 360 Lego Rock Band and go to Freeplay, and try to play Hysteria or Rock n Roll Star, you'll get a disc is unreadable error, and then you'll get booted out to the dash.
Hilarious.

At least I'm not the only one....
It isn't just restricted to Freeplay, either. I chose Hysteria in a Choose Your Own Setlist in Story Mode and it gave that damn disc read error.

Fairly big assumption that he has any other games to play it in. If someone pays two dollars for a song that appears in the LRB store, I think it's only fair that he can play it in LRB.

i didn't assume anything, he said pal version therefore its an on-disk song.
edit: and as its appearing in lego its been exported: ergo - 2 other games to play it in.
I also have this problem. Whether or not people have another game they can play the song in is irrelevant. HMX should fix this.

If you have two other games to play it in, RB1 in particular would have been sold on by a lot people.
You can try to sugar coat it all you want, this is a real issue and they'll be no workarounds for a fair few people.

Just read about that happening to someone on another forum. If online RB2 is any indication, there's a lot of people who have the RB1 songs imported but have never bothered with DLC. In their cases, you've got roughly 60 songs pooled together, with a 30 song setlist, that's like a 50% chance of your game crashing.

It's only happening on songs that were in that first Euro pack that were included with RB1, IE Muse and Oasis. The regular Rock Band 1 songs work just fine.
This should be fixed, because I'll be pissed if it happens during the Endless Setlist.

Muse and Oasis are the only two from the pack that "work" in LRB. Monsoon also works, but of course, that song is US only now.

That's weird
What's wrong with all the rest of the songs? I guess there's questionable content that I don't understand due to the language barrier. I mean, I understand why a song based on A Clockwork Orange (Hiew Kommt Alex) wouldn't make it through, but stuff like Perfect Welle (Perfect Wave) or Countdown to Insanity

We don't know though. It could be just something to do with how the game reads the files - its expecting some kind of DLC code which isn't in the files, maybe?
That could be patched, maybe.

With the amount of DLC available they couldn't possibley test that each one actually worked a-ok and 100% with the game. Particularly when the majority of the game wasn't even made in house at Harmonix. It has nada to do with them not testing anything for people outside of the USA.

You have to delete the saved song cache as well, if you don't it still thinks the songs are still there.

This isn't DLC for us, it's exported RB1 tracks. When they allowed RB1 tracks to be played in the game, they should have realised there's more than one version of Rock Band 1 out there. You'd think someone on TT's side would have noticed though considering they're a British company but then who knows which side of the Atlantic did the bug testing.

I made a new thread that I thought would be easier to see, but I'll repost the info here to make it simpler. Feel free to close the other one :)
Hi HMX,
Please note that the EU version of Lego Rock Band crashes at the loading screen with a "disc is dirty" error whenever you choose, or the game randomly chooses, the songs Hysteria or Rock n Roll Star.
We believe this is because in the US, those two songs are DLC, whereas in EU/AU, the songs are RB1 export songs. The EU version of LRB didn't have the necessary changes made to it to accomodate this, and as such will give the error, and forces the player to exit to the dashboard. This can be very frustrating if you land these songs during a 15 or 30 song setlist!
So far, the workaround for the 360 version is to:
1. delete the two songs or move them to a memory unit.
2. delete and recreate the DLC song cache.
As I don't own a PS3 I can't give advice there, though I've heard the PS3 version does not allow for individual song deletion.

I have both of these songs (US Version, NTSC) and I am incredibly lucky that they never showed up in random setlists, throughout all of the gigs!
This is a rather glaring bug. Hysteria is definitely one of the more popular singles out there, and it being broken in this game is rather disappointing.

I doubt it will crash a US version. The problem comes from the fact that the UK versions of these songs are seen as RB1 tracks rather than straight DLC, but LRB is probably programmed to recognise them as DLC. So it's getting confused and breaking itself.

Well, you can get them back by re-exporting the RB1 tracks (provided you still have the Export Key and the Rock Band 1 game disc).
But, for us PS3 users, we can't selectively delete songs we don't want. We'd have to delete ALL of our DLC and re-download everything. Even then, we'd have to go through a tricky process of re-exporting the songs several times to avoid "Hysteria" by Muse and "Rock n Roll Star" by Oasis from being exported back into LEGO Rock Band.
And yeah, it only affects EU and AU copies. Since Rock Band 1 was released here with 9 bonus tracks (2 of which appear in LEGO RB... and crash it... I believe those 9 bonus tracks were released as normal DLC in the US).

Because yeah, I also have both songs and have seen both in Random without issue. Though if I recall correctly, the European version of RB had listed all of the exclusives as DLC. I think they go there for the export to...but I'd need somebody with a euro RB2 to confirm that.

How many songs do you have overall? The Endless is a random set...so if you restart it should generate a new set of 30 songs. Though I agree that is a rather annoying fix, especially if it's closer to the end that it locks up.

The chance is small, but it's still a killer. If someone has only LRB + the 2 crashing songs (47 total), there's a 20.47% chance of the song showing up. If they have 400 songs there's only a 1.07% chance of it showing up.

I'm now dreading the lucky dips and mystery setlists. Won't even bother with the endless setlist.
I have a fair bit of DLC, but only a tiny fraction of it passes the FF filter and shows up in LRB. It's quite bizarre how some songs get through and others don't, but meh... sh*t happens... just hope they patch this... and soon!

Actually, the bug does also exist in the US version of L:RB (I should know as that's the version I have) and I cannot play the RB1 exported versions Hysteria or Rock 'n' Roll Star on my console. For the record, I have the US version because it's region free and was released about a month ahead of the UK release.

Ahh, but the problem lies with the EU version of RB1. I assumed that both games were reigon locked, and so only people with the EU LRB would have the problem with exporting from EU RB1.
My point still remains, the problem lies with the EU Exclusive tracks being thought of as RB1 Disc Tracks from an EU export, when LRB wants to see them as DLC.

I was never disputing what you were saying.
I just wanted it to be made clear to the powers that be that this is a problem that exists in both the PAL and NTSC versions of L:RB on the Xbox 360 to ensure that this is taken account of in any title update that is released (although for all we know, they're the same anyway).

On the XBOX 360 and PS3... at least in AU/EU... don't know if the PS3 version's also messed up in the US.

Don't bet on it. If there was a similar issue that affected people in America, it would have been fixed very quickly. But HMX just don't see us as a priority, so it wouldn't surprise me if this didn't get fixed at all. And the lack of any communication from Harmonix just seems to cover that theory.
It seems like the only option to me is to delete the songs from your HDD or copy them onto a memory card if you have one.

Not so easy to remove the 2 songs that crash the game on a PS3.
We'd have to delete ALL of our DLC.
It's true that the US gets priority, as do XBOX360 users, so if you're outside the US and have a PS3, it's pretty bad.
That being said, HMXHenry helped us out with the Export mess, and has also posted in this thread, so maybe, just maybe, they are working on fixing it and will make an announcement once the patch is ready for release.
I do wish the communication was more forthcoming from HMX though.
Take SingStar for example. They released a patch (4.30) which seriously messed up our DLC. We complained, and they addressed the issue immediately. Not only did they apologize, but they've kept us up to date every step of the way, and we know there's a fix coming next week as soon as it passes QA.
That's the level of support you'd expect from a software developer!

On the XBOX 360 and PS3... at least in AU/EU... don't know if the PS3 version's also messed up in the US.
I can obviously only talk about the 360 as that's the version I have. I cannot imagine that it makes any difference for the US PS3 version of L:RB because although the games are all region free, the DLC is not.

It's a nosense if the bug appears in the US version too. Because in that version these two songs are just the same as any other DLC song.

The bug will appear in any version of LRB that is reading European Exported tracks.
What matters is the reigon of the exported game, not the reigon of the game reading it.

RB1 export songs are region free? I didn't know, because DLC songs aren't.

The export songs aren't region free, Lego Rock Band is.
You know, the easiest way around this, with no title update needed, is just to put the two songs up on the marketplace as freebies. They're free tracks to us already, we delete the two export songs, download them as DLC and everything should run smoothly. On the 360 at least, PS3 is a little more difficult.
B_Wallace
12-10-2009, 09:28 AM
The game could be region free and work on any region console, but the DLC bought in the American store doesn't work with a PAL game, and viceversa. That's why it's weird that the songs exported from the PAL 1st game work in 2nd and Lego NTSC games.

As if they'd put the songs up for free.
And yeah, virtually impossible to delete just those two exported songs on a PS3.
Rock Band 2 doesn't crash when it plays those tracks, so it's obviously something minor in LEGO Rock Band that needs to be patched.
Again, the lack of updates from the guys here at Harmonix is annoyingly frustrating!
That SingStar patch I mentioned in a previous post... released yesterday (ahead of schedule), and it has indeed fixed the problems. http://www.facebook.com/SingStarUK#/SingStarUK?v=wall - they kept us updated!
Why can't Harmonix be more like them and other game developers?

Graffin
12-12-2009, 03:00 AM
Psst...Traveller's Tales made this game, not Harmonix.
Not sure who makes what... with Rock Band 1 and 2, EA's involved, and that's why they refuse to put the RB1 export key back on the AU PSN Store (after all, the DLC and keys are credited with ELECTRONIC ARTS LTD). Even though LEGO RB uses 22 of RB1's songs, EA say it's not their game, they're unaware that RB1 tracks can even be played in LEGO RB, blah blah.
So, the blame game continues.
And, with LEGO RB, we have Warner Bros, Travellers Tales and Harmonix. So, who do we contact to get this latest "bug" fixed?
Both Travellers Tales and Warner Bros won't care if previous games (not released by them) crash LEGO RB, so surely it's down to Harmonix?

This must be the first time a rockband patch hit PS3 first!

12-29-2009, 03:48 PM
I just went ahead and deleted them. I'll re-export when a patch turns up, I can live without those songs until then.
If I hit export, will it export them all again? Or just those 2 tracks?
ronneholm

The game have crashed two times for me now, during the endless setlist. And, itīs not Hysteria or Rock'n'roll star causing it. Actually, I think the last one was that ingame Tom Petty song, im not sure.
Xbox360, EU, I installed the game to the harddrive after the first time, but that made no difference.
Edit: Now i get it - when the game where supposed to run one of these songs, it crashes. For some reason I thought the game crashes after finishing a song.

I have the same problem also, I don't see why people don't think it's a big problem (Maybe because you've not got any of the EU pack songs?). If Harmonix brag compatability for these songs with Lego Rock Band, you should be able to ACTUALLY play them in game. It's sort of unacceptable, but I'm sure it's not done on purpose, and there should be a patch for it soon hopefully.
Rodafowa

I've had exactly this problem with Hysteria and Rock And Roll Star, and also with Don't Speak by No Doubt. I deleted the offending songs and re-exported / re-downloaded them before thinking to check this forum to see if there was a general problem.
EDIT - in fact, re-downloading Don't Speak sorted the issue with that song, apologies. The other two remain borked, however.

This really is just not good enough. It's been out over a month and this is still happening. Once I got 8 songs into the marathon and crashed out, I realised I will never bother trying to finish those two venues.
If this were happening the US version they'd have been crucified.
I intended to get my gamerscore up to 960 (I suck on guitar), export and flog this. Now, I'm just doing the last two. Bad form hmx... probably shoulda learned from the RB1 Euro launch fiasco.

I'm in Australia, and yes, there is a v1.01 update for LEGO Rock Band on the PS3 (approx. 18Mb).
Both Hysteria and Rock n Roll Star work perfectly, and those tracks which were greyed out (like David Bowie) are also playable now.

I have to say a huge thanks to LCO1138 for creating this thread http://www.rockband.com/forums/showthread.php?t=176783. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have known there was an update available.
So, it's no-longer available? Strange!
Sounds like the RB1 Export Key - we had it on the AU PSN Store between Nov 6, 2008 and Nov 12, 2008. As soon as the next PSN update came through, the Export Key was gone and hasn't been seen since.
Perhaps PM HMXhenry about it?

This has started happening to me too. I'm a 360 owner in the UK, and at first I thought it was actually a disc problem, having not come across this thread. After reading this, and some trial and error, I'm pretty sure I've been hit with this glitch (for want of a better word). I managed to get through the Endless Setlist on the second time through (constantly praying that it wouldnt select Hysteria next!), but I've got a load of random setlists yet to do...
Come on HMX, please lets get this sorted out as quickly as you can!

That's because you have it as DLC. Those of us with PAL copies of Rock Band have it as an RB1 export, and that's where the problem appears to be.

I doubt that's the case as i'm fairly certain we get most (if not all) of our updates and DLC off the EU servers (it's only the AU PSN Store that's a lil different and is missing a few things like the RB1 Export Key, and a few track packs).
There was another thread here, where other EU users got the v1.01 update. http://www.rockband.com/forums/showthread.php?t=176783

Way to do that is to go to your history in the marketplace on the Xbox website and etc.

I never noticed te problem until about a week ago and it's now occurred 3 times in a week. PLaying longer set lists may be the reason why it has taken so long to happen to me. I'm on PS3 and was aware there was a patch but the game has never asked to update so I've still got greyed out songs and disc read errors on Hysteria etc.
I think the lack of support on this issue is quite disturbing. Firstly there was the whole export fiasco and now a simple issue that affects the game in a serious way is still unresolved. I don't really care who is to blame (TT or HMX?), but I'm really startuing to lose faith in HMX products of late.

I'm on PS3 (EU) which allegedly had a patch some time ago but LRB has never asked to patch. There is no way I'm going to attempt the Endless Setlist until this is fixed. The lack of feed back and information on (alleged) released patches is quite poor. For me the game is currently broken and something needs to be done to rectify this.

Yeah. I updated the game a month ago, when the patch was released, but I know people that haven't the update and it doesn't appear at the game boot, so probably the patch was removed from the servers.
The reason for this is a complete mistery for me.
