I played Beat Saber yesterday with no problem. And now I tried to open the app but it says I have to buy the game? I have my subscription active with Horizon Plus, and tried rebooting the Quest but it still says the same. Does anyone experienced this before? Im not sure if this is the right subreddit for this but I appreciate anyone who can help. TYIA!

The v3 lights map look insane but I cant put chroma into it or noodle extension but other people have done it. I also wanna use a v3 lightning map for the Circle environment but its only just Glass Desert.

I’d like to know how difficult it is, how well mapped it is, how much tech it has (I like chain notes) without spoiling too much for myself. I’m making this post to see if it’s worth getting. My favourite music pack is Metallica followed by MonsterCat Volume 2, and I’d like to know if the difficulty is about there on expert plus. It’s a slightly older pack so I’m worried it will have bad mapping, which is the main reason why I’m making this post.

Is this good?

Very niche question in niche community but I refuse to convert to playing any other way and I'd still like to better myself somehow.

I do find myself improving in some ways yet getting worse in others and I wanted to know if any other people who play in a non wrist-exclusive style have any futher tips or things they personally found helpful.

I've been playing I guess maybe 5 years off and on (had back surgery at one point) and I hate being ok enough to intimidate people to play with me when I'd teach them first, but not good enough to compete compete. (EDIT: I track my beatleader score and usually rank midway, if that makes sense)

Do you watch accuracy? Track certain things I'm stupid at cause I flail around? Do you have particular mods that track things better than others? ANY MAP RECCS? I enjoy playing so much and don't want to lose ambition just due to the lack of progression I make. Any high score makes me feel champ again LOL

Thanks to anyone who has suggestions or will tell me I'm not the only one :')

Open to discord pals and such too but fellow dancies at least drop me the best maps that I 100% already have but I will appreciate you for regardless.

/spiel sorry

It didn't do that good, but I did complete it without failing!

I've only started getting into modding, and each tutorial leads the same road. My problem is when I think of something to play it either doesn't exist (fair enough) or its difficulties are some custom "super ultra God" or anything above normal/easy. Why are nearly all mods like this, or never have at least normal difficulty?

I have thought for a very long time of drawing him, he originally got inspired by the level aquamarine from geometry dash by sincos and ren241 because I found the name and the vibe fit for him quite a lot so I thought why not making a beat Saber mermaid oc for that? I made this also because I love the multiplayer avatars so much!! They are very cute!! :3c

im on 1.40.8 standalone, and it crashes when i install mods. when i uninstall, it loads. what could be the issue?

EDIT: I JUST HAD TO RESTART QUEST ILL LEAVE IN ON FOR FUNZIES MODS CAN REMOVE THIS

Longer than fallen symphony

Blossom by Synthion (its an old map, its unranked on SS, but I was never one to care about rank and pp anyway)

It's not some crazy acc or anything, but its a start. Relaxing the arm muscles seem to help a lot with acc, although idk if I'm still doing stuff wrong...

I have a 9800x3d and RTX 5080 streaming to Quest 3 using VD. VD stats show that there is a consistent 1,1,2,3 ms latency for game, encoding, network, and decoding. My WiFi is likely not a bottleneck. Every 10-15sec, my framerate drops from 120 to 107fps it just breaks the whole immersion due to microstuttering. During these stutters, the 4 latency metrics don't change, only the framerate drops. I have tried all encoders. I am limiting my stream to low quality and 50mbps@H264+ until I can figure out what's wrong. I do not have anything running in the background. I play AAA games on this PC with no lag or microstutters. Claude and Gemini gave me 20 solutions, none of them worked.

Any suggestions?

Hello I am a fairly new player. I cannot figure out how to hit these boxes without getting hit by the big one I’m not supposed to touch. Sorry for the drawings- I cannot figure out how to get photos of it.

so for some reason only on replay when i hit the notes instead of disappearing like i see it on my POV they kind of just fly super fast towards the camera instead of despawning, and I was wondering what could be the cause of that

-sorry for bad gameplay.

my Quest 3 wont show up on Mods Before Friday

I have shoulder problems which prevents me from playing. As a new mapper I’d like to test the parity and timing of my blocks and how they flow in game. I wish there was a bot that could play so I could see how the sabers swing but so far I’ve been using streamers which helps me see flow problem that’s almost impossible to see while mapping.

This was the first run of the song I did, it killed my arms💀😂

In MBF Launcher on my pc it doesnt detect my quest 3

Wanted to add some Beat Saber representation to my hat of many things and thought that some little charms would be cute. I of course had to paint them in my custom colors as well.

I often think about this when playing multiplayer.
Let’s say there are three people in the lobby: the host, me, and a random player. The random player, who isn’t very good, throws some absolutely disgusting map at us. Since it was thrown at me, I just play it and clear it.
But then the random player and the host both fail the map, and somehow they assume that I’m the one who picked the shitty map, even though I was the only one who actually cleared it.
So they kick me.
Like… what the fuck? I genuinely don’t understand.
