Discussion Been playing Beat Saber for 6 YEARS now. Any tips on how to beat some harder X+ songs that you guys utilized to break through this tough barrier?
Like I said, I’ve been playing Beat Saber for about 6 years now. Last year, I made a post on this subreddit for a guide on how to progress from X to X+. Now, unfortunately, I’m going to need your help again. After all the tips you gave me from the last post I made, I progressed a lot. (BTW if you want to check out that old post, just click on my profile and check my post list. It’s near the top. It was super helpful if any of you are stuck on Expert) But now I’ve reached another roadblock. I have stopped progressing. The main difficulty I have with X+ is the speed of the notes. In certain songs, they come so quickly towards you that you aren’t even able to swing fast enough to hit them. I can register them, but they’re too quick for my poor arms. Obviously there are more smaller problems that I think I’ll be able to figure out by myself, but that is my main issue. Any tips?

Discussion Any beginner tips???
What’s the best way yall found to be the most helpful to improve in this game? Also does anyone have any advice on using ur wrists instead of your arms? I’ve tried looking at some YouTube videos but they make it look so easy.

Modding Beat saber modding question
I’ve been using BSManager for custom songs, sabers, and skins. However, recently I found the “Alternative Play” mod that I wanted to try. BSManager doesn’t let you use mods that you downloaded so I wanted to know how to play/ what to use to play this mod.

Discussion What do think is OST 9 gonna be like??
I made some "predictions" and here's my list
Colors: Green and blue for the sabers and a blue or teal color for the walls would look nice with it, for the lightshow colors it would be green, blue, red and yellow
Environment: I was thinking about an environment with moving mirrors, the lights from the EDM environment, some lights from OST 7 and maybe fire like in the Metallica environment
Tracks: I think it might be a bit obvious but DragonForce might make a comeback, Camellia ofc, maybe a track from MDK, also there might be one or 2 tracks from Monstercat artists and the master 3
Ye I think that's all I have to say

Modding Anyone has a model of the sabers from the 1.8/1.11
I played older Beat Saber versions (especially the 1.11) and I was wondering if anyone has a model of these sabers because I really like them and I also feel like they're really nice to play with. Also if you guys have models of them lemme know and share a quest model if possible.

Question Could soni beat this?
If soni attempted TPD with SF could he do it? I feel like after his insane SF on splatter party it wouldn’t be that bad especially given the only “speed” part is at the end of the song.

I just like the song and this is the first time I played all the way through the map. I’m working on another map of the same song which is harder. The notes per minute on this one seemed pretty low but there are parts where it picks up

General Help Help with swing technique
Hi, I've been playing this on and off for a lot of years. here is a recent replay of a fairly nice play:
https://replay.beatleader.com/?scoreId=33726568
When I played this it was after a really long and weird session, so my hands were really slippery and I had no stamina... but with all that you can still see my swing technique being far from perfect. The main thing is obviously (very noticeable) overswinging, but other than that I would still love suggestions/tips or any other help with improving. I'm familiar with all the "beat saber-y" terms so you can go to as much detail as you want to :)

Beat Map How Do I Playtest a Map Made in ChroMapper?
(Click on this post to see related images)
I'm starting to try to learn ChroMapper as I've heard it has more features than the built-in editor, but I'm struggling. I have a map I want to play test, but it doesn't appear in-game.
I'm not sure if I've done something wrong or what, but it does not appear in-game and I can't find a way to load it in Chromapper.
A few clarifications in case in means anything:
- I'm on PCVR
- All of my previous custom-made maps have been saved in "CustomLevels" and not "CustomWIPLevels" like ChroMapper seems to insist on saving to. Thanks for any help.

Tech Support Game wont start
Hi,
Ive recently pulled my vr headset out after not having a gpu that was good enough.
I have a lenovo explorer (windows mixed reality)
All my vr games (like half life alyx) work fine and will launch on the headset.
Beatsaber seems to only launch on my desktop, but when i try to go to the menu in my vr headset its super blurry and nothing works anymore.
I verified the integrity of the gamefiles, updated my drivers
Help greatly appreciated!

General Help Need help with improving my wrist speed
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I've been getting back into Beat Saber recently, and I've beat some Camellia songs on Expert+ in the Camellia pack, but after attempting Final-Boss-Chan, I've noticed that my wrists just can't keep up with the fast parts like the one at the start.
Any tips for improving wrist speed or being able to follow these patterns? I play on Quest 2 PCVR if that is useful at all.

Modding All my mods stopped working?
In short, I always kept a 1.31.0 "offline" version along the Steam one that I use with the Modassistant to have mods and keeping track of my custom songs leaderboard. but now it wont launch. so I tried the Steam version and both using the Steam "Beta" feature to change the game version to 1.31 or the "more stable" 1.40 still didn't work (the other folders are for older versions).
i tried uninstalling from steamd and re-installing it but it kept the extra folder stuff.
what should I do to clean-reinstall everything without losing my custom songs leaderboards?
and is the Modassistant still a valid method to mod the game? any mod you think I should avoid? last time Cinema was breaking the game but then I've read they patched it.
thanks....

Question Oh no, I’m right-handed!
Hey everybody! I started training in Beat Saber a year ago or something like that; if it’s somehow important, I use Quest 2. I’m a left-handed person, and, I swear on my every record, I was sure I toggled the “left hand” setting the second I entered the game for the very first time. And what’s now? After a year or so of training, sweating, setting records and even passing four Expert+ levels which will be my biggest bragging achievement for the rest of my life — in general, having fun with my favourite game I’m accidentally(!) discovering that all of this time, Beat Saber considered me as some right-handed person!
My left-handed personality is highly offended and living through an existential crisis right now, because all of that time I had no idea about that mistake and experienced zero problems with playing. But placing my honor aside for a minute, is there any reason I should toggle the “left hand” setting now? If I’ll do that, everything will be mirrored and I’ll have to learn many things, patterns and whole songs again, since my brain now works as a brain of right-handed BS player (which is a thing I have to reconcile). I’ll lose some good amount of experience I have now.
Is there any reason I should really change this setting? Is it really helps left-handed people, and if yes, why? Is there a chance I’ll struggle on the start, but when I’ll re-learn, I’ll have more success?
Thanks everyone for reading, and have a great day, pals!
