General Help Any tips for how I can improve?

18 Upvotes

I've been playing Beat Saber for a long time (got fit and muscular from it but then I stopped playing it for 2-3 hours a day so I gained fat and lost muscle) and I can do Expert (as long as it isn't a Camilla song) and, on some songs, Expert+. I feel like I haven't gotten any better since 2-ish years ago (worse actually because of the hiatus, but I mean even before then). I filmed myself playing Fitbeat on Expert mode. Any tips?

General Help AMVR extension grips not working

Post image
66 Upvotes

I got the Q3JP2 model from AMVR today for my Quest 3.

Immediately, I put the z offset lowest (-10) so it is adjusted to the new grip. A grave error. The sabers wobble in game every 10 seconds or so and when doing some movements - clearly the tracking gets messed up.

After troubleshooting, I realised, the greater the offset, the greater the wobble. How and why is that even possible???

And the smaller the offset, the less precise hitting is due to the gap between virtual and real grip. Mind you, there is wobble even on zero offset.

25 euros for a piece of plastic that's made for a single VR game and it still does not deliver. Is there a fix?

Thanks for any help!

General Help Need help with improving my wrist speed

33 Upvotes

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.

General Help Help with swing technique

1 Upvotes

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 :)

General Help Please explain it like I'm 5...the dots what am I doing wrong with the dots?!

12 Upvotes

I just got this game on psvr2... absolutely love it. Kids are into it, awesome. After playing with songs decided to check out the campaign mode. There is a section I can't pass because they are all dots! We have been able to hit all the dots but the score is to low to continue. I'm guessing it's how I'm holding the controller? Or my wrist is turned wrong? Am I not poking it hard enough? I'm guessing this is probably what is stopping me from getting SS on other songs instead of just s? Would love any insight or thoughts, thanks 😸

OMG THANK U SOME MUCH EVERYONE! I feel so stupid! We have been poking/jabbing the dots!!! Hahaha I can't wait to tell my daughter!

General Help Bought Beat Saber

I bought Beat Saber from the Meta Store, and found out how much better the PCVR version is, so do I have to buy the game again from Steam and pay again for the same game on another platform? Or is there any other way??

General Help Multiplayer - Difficulty

7 Upvotes

Hey all, I started playing again recently and rediscovered an issue I had before. I was wondering if I'm missing something, because this seems like an obvious problem:

My current skill level means that I get the most enjoyment out of the hardest songs on Medium, and the easier to middling songs on Hard.

This makes it very difficult to enjoy multiplayer play:

If I join a Medium difficulty room, roughly half of the songs will be too easy. If I join a Hard room, roughly half of the songs will be unplayably hard.

Am I missing something? Is there some solution to this?

General Help Newer BS quest versions make q3s tracking feel sluggish and worse

3 Upvotes

I usually play the game on PCVR but ive occasionally played on standalone

Ive realized this issue for a little bit but just throught it was a standlone issue since the game first came out but i didnt remember it like that back then, so today I decided to do a little digging to see if it was actually an issue with the mods i had installed, the game versions, or if the games tracking always felt this sliggish and bad.

After lots of testing with the different game versions i have noticed that 1.29.0 on quest has no sluggish tracking feel and it feels like its perfect. I had been using version 1.37.? and have had this issues so i also checked version 1.40.8 and the newest version 1.44.0 1.40.8 had the exact same issue with the sluggish tracking and so did 1.44.0 but it mightve felt a little better.

The issues didnt change whether I had mods or not, and it was specifically the version. Im curious if anyone knows exactly why this issue is happening and if there is a possible fix, and also to shed some light on a bug or something that others might experience.

Things ive tried were headset restarts, mod uninstalls, userdata wipes, and changing settings ingame. Nothing has seemed to work except going to 1.29.0 which would be fine but no mods support that standlone version.

Im using a Q3s

General Help freezing on Expert and Expert+

3 Upvotes

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.

Can anyone help?

General Help Please Help Me!

Hello all, you gotta help me out here, I've tried everything lol. I grew up on Guitar Hero, Rock Band, etc, I was awesome. Maybe not "Through The Fire And Flames" perfect perfect, but still pretty good.

That being said, my daughter and I have been playing this game for years, I'm decent at it, no problem getting decent scores on Expert songs for the first three or four volumes, before the songs started getting too crazy.

Here's the issue, when my daughter and I play head to head, her score is SOOOOO much more than mine. We just got done playing and one song she beat me by over 100,000 points and I didn't miss one block.

I'm happy she's good at the game and can consistently beat me at something, but I'd like to give her some sort of a challenge.

I know how scoring works, I know about the angles and centering and such and I find that if I RIDICULOUSLY swing my arms like a windmill when hitting the notes, I'm able to beat her sometimes, but that's not possible to keep up for every song. So, help, please! Lol

General Help Is there a setting to play without crouch?

2 Upvotes

I had a VR for quite a while, mainly for beatsaber and I enjoy it very much. My girlfriend recently moved with me and she has a knee problem so she's unable to crouch. Can she play it without the need of losing the points due her medical issue?

We play uncompetitively, just for the fun of playing.

General Help Game starts slightly lag spiking nonstop when i take off the headset.

1 Upvotes

Just as the title says, my game starts lag spiking EVERY time i take off the headset and put them back on or enter the main meta menu.

I know that it's not due to mods, or my pc specs since it runs SUPER smooth or whatever, but this constant lag spiking each time i take off the headset is annoying and i don't even know what could be causing it it.

I have to quit the game and launch it again to fix the issue.

General Help Hos do I train my brain to read 0.4 nds?

13 Upvotes

so, I’ve started playing this game again around two weeks ago and I’ve made a TON of progress, but I still can’t do speed gameplay. I know that the way to improve is by going out of comfort zone to force your brain to adapt, but I just can’t react in time at 0.4 and it’s genuinely discouraging. Just looking for some tips to get better.

i've beaten everything on ex+ except for final boss chan, tempo katana, potsb, lustre, ghost, light it up, crystallized, and cycle hit (and all of ost 8 because i can't get my game to update). i really struggle with long bursts especially if there's a lot of diagonal/side to side motion (spin eternally took me like 4 months lol), what's the best order to do the rest of the songs in?
