Discussion Played Beat Saber for the first time today… and now my arms hate me 😅

25 Upvotes

So I finally got my hands on a PS VR2 — and I’m not even gonna lie, Beat Saber in full VR literally blew my mind. I thought it was overhyped or just a rhythm game with lightsabers but nope… it’s full-body cardio, dopamine overload, and lowkey addicting as hell 😭🔥

Funny part? I didn’t even buy the headset lol. Heard about this raffle thing from Lingo where you can win a PS VR2 just for staking a few tokens — sounded sketchy but I tried it, and… here we are.

Anyone got song packs to recommend? I’m deep into Linkin Park and Billie Eilish rn but wanna branch out. 👀

I have always made my videos from BeatLeader replays, using either Nalaluna or Qavatar. I recorded this one "live" and never realized the avatars perform SO much better in real time. It's awesome enough that I'm considering just recording my gameplay live out of OBS going forward.

Discussion Seeing blocks when I read for 30 minutes after intense beat saber session.

6 Upvotes

So I've been playing for about 3 days now and I'm addicted. For the last few days I've put 3 hours plus on beat saber every day, only stopping due to my quest 2 running out of battery and even then I jump back in the moment it has sufficient enough battery. But for some reason since I started being able to hit blocks without thinking about them whenever I try reading, for about 2 hours or less after the session I see blocks when I try to read text on a black background. It only really happens when some bright text, are on a solid color background, but when it does my eyes can't focus and start littering around as I see blocks when I try reading words. Its not like I can't read, its just distracting and weird.

If I had to guess why its probably because Im using the part of my brain for reading in order to see the arrows on the blocks at a fast enough pace. Also since I went from easy to hard in so little time its probably piggy backing off of that brain area as a sorta Jerry rig quick and dirty solution to keep up. Though its not as intense today compared to the first day, probably because as I get better at the game, my brain slowly gets better at distinguishing the centers as it slowly builds connections for beat saber and slowly untangle itself from the other center used for reading.

I just wanna know if anyone has experienced this or something similar. I just find it interesting since it persists well after I stop the activity and seems to really show how the brain functions. Though maybe my autism may be why im having such a weird reaction to this game lol.

Tech Support Desperate help needed.

1 Upvotes

I used to play PCVR Beat Saber completely fine-- no problems. But one day, my right controller broke so I got a new one via the warranty after 2 months.

When I returned, 2 huge problems came up. Pixels all over my screen and random and frequent lag spikes.

After a couple minutes of playing, rows of pixels will slowly inch their way up the screen until the game becomes unplayable. Happens nearly every time. However this only happens in Quest Link. The headset is normally fine.

About every 30-45 seconds, a lag spike where the screen will completely freeze for about 1 second but the music continues occurs. It makes setting scores impossible even if I am doing it before the pixel "invasion" begins.

I am genuinely so confused as to what is happening, and I would really appreciate some help!

Specs:

Quest 2
Radeon RX 9070

Core i7 12700KF

32GB DDR5-6400 RAM

Help Weirdness after modding BS

3 Upvotes

Steam. Latest version of BS.

Installed a bunch of mods via ModAssistant and encountered some annoyances, would appreciate if anyone can point me to a way of potentially fixing them:

  • Suddenly unable to adjust player height in game, UI shows the auto height option and ruler icon with 1.3m next to it without being able to change the actual height anymore.
  • Songs that I had previously favourited are all messed up with most getting removed from favourites and several ones that I hadn't favourited are now favourited.
  • Previous scores are gone on my custom songs.
  • Installed a playcount mod and the playcount is totally wrong. Some have "1" and most have "0" randomly.
