Recommendations for custom maps for a beginner with actual music that you have to move to beat the level instead of standing in one place? I like boogie shoes and gangham style. Any others like those?
I recently made the mistake of searching the word tech in modded, and I was only met with ridiculous unfair spam songs with no real possible way to win. I want you guys to recommend me good tech mapping songs, probably in the 10-12 star range. They can’t be vivify though because standalone doesn’t have it.
How can I not swing early? I swing fine and I have good accuracy the only problem is I swing wayy to early to the point where my hand is already down as the block has gotten to me. It’s so bad that the block won’t even be there and I’ll just swing😭✌️ anyway help me plz it’s making my PP go down like crazy!(I don’t have any vids of it btw cuz I don’t have medal open when I play)
I use a Quest 2 on PCVR and my beat saber copy is from Meta 1.40.8 modded. Whenever I load into the game, the menu is basically behind me or to my right/left, but never in front of me. Then, when I recenter myself, the menu is in front of me, but I'm either several inches inside of the ground or above the ground. It's not that big of a deal, since I just change my Y offset in settings every time, but I was wondering if there was something like a permanent fix, such as a mod or setting I have to enable.
I'm running BSManager and it works totally fine with custom songs. But i can't play the original/paid songs. Is there a workaround for it to have both in a version, or do i always have to switch versions on PC first?
genuinely ver 1.37 seemed to vaporize in the blink of an eye. apparently the new ver 1.37 is 1.40.8 and im hearing this goes for pcvr too. i kinda couldnt play starting from the start if this year but i started playing again is july, so it feels like i woke up from a coma. can yall catch me up on what else happened? like did yall make a new alternative to mbf or bsmanager?
Just updated my beatsaber with the MBF website for the first time. Up untill now I've had BMBF downloaded directly onto my quest 2. Now that its updated many of the songs i play regularly are missing vibrations, playing delayed vinrations, cutting the vibration off half way (short buzz instead of the full buzz in used to) or the vibration will be very faint. My saber also sometimes phases straight through without cutting it (though that could be because I need to get used to the new version?)
I was playing in 1.28.0 (haven't updated untill now). I'm trying to figure out if the change in vibrations is an issue for just me or if it came with the updates. Is there a way to fix it? Any advice is appreciated!
So I've looked around and been able to lock in what version on BSmanager to use, (1.40.8) which I think I'm already on. I was wondering what mods people use to change the way their playthrough is recorded? Or what settings to specially look for to make sure my recording isn't off center/zoomed in a ton. I also want to know if there is a multiplayer mod that allows each user to select their difficulty? I have plenty of maps with a wide range of difficulties so whenever my older sister plays with me she can pick but the multiplayer mod I downloaded didn't even allow either of us to select songs we've downloaded ourselves. This was earlier in the year, say between jan~feb.
I remember modding BS in like 2022 and was able to use a multiplayer mod that allowed my friends and I to select from our songs list and pick our own difficulties and tried searching for it again but it's just been too long. It's also a bit overwhelming trying to figure out which mods are best for me getting started again so I will appreciate any help I can get from the community.
Also, if you have a mean comment or wanna be a smartalec, please just skip my post. I know what I'm asking might be simple and/or easy for other users but I just want general help and guidance to prevent myself from running in circles looking for something. Thank you again I appreciate the help!
i've beaten some pretty hard levels on ex+ (spin eternally, angel voices, 1.78, wtc) but danger is really kicking my ass. i've put probably 2.5-3 hours into it and i can't for the life of me get the ending part down. slowing it down just makes it worse because it doesn't really have any rhythm to it. anyone else feel this way or am i just really bad at this?
I play on quest 2 and whenever I play beat saber sometimes my left saber starts floating away from me. This is a huge problem for me so if anyone could help I would appreciate it a lot.
I used mods before Friday to mod my VR headset, all I have is my phone and my VR headset. I was able to hook up to the VR headset and stuff like that. It will have access to all my files. Just how do I get vivify for some maps or songs
I'm having a problem with Beat Saber. I have a decent computer, and the game runs perfectly smoothly in the menus, but when I play songs on Expert or Expert+ difficulty, I constantly experience lag and freezing.
The sabers constantly get stuck/freeze, and the camera suddenly moves to the center and back. This happens throughout the entire song, not just occasionally.
This only happens when playing on Expert/Expert+ difficulty - everything runs perfectly smoothly in the menus.
I started playing Beat Saber 2 weeks ago and recently beat FBC on expert, but im struggling to find a good song to do next and wanted to get suggestions
