Beat Saber Arcade Mode

willstackable

We've been talking with the Beat Games team for over a month now to figure out getting the new music packs. It's complicated... with music rights and legal tied up in it as well. Hoping we get something soon! (They've told us we WILL be getting them.)

Since the latest update, I am having some trouble with the Arcade version, it is not allowing us to start any songs, only play the tutorial over and over. Andy ideas on what we can try to fix this?

Are you talking about song pack songs or base songs? Arcade Versions still can't play the Song Packs.

I'm talking about any songs at all, we select 100 dollar bills for instance, it makes up play the tutorial, we play it and it just kicks us back to the menu with no option to play

Looks like an error with the game possibly. Can you verify the integrity of the game files and then try it? Here's an article with instructions on how to do this -

Hi Hunter, Lewis from Rush here. I have checked the integrity of the game files and all was okay with them. Any other suggestions? - Thanks

Hi Hunter, We've managed to get it working on 5 of our stations but that still leaves two with our third most popular game completely unusable. We're searching around but obviously this is a very specific set of circumstances so we would really appreciate your assistance with this. We've completely reinstalled the game with no success and there seems to be no discernible difference between the stations that we working and the ones not.

Hi Ross, uninstall beat saber in the steam library. While it is uninstalled, navigate to %appdata% in explorer, find the folder Hyperbolic Magnetism in the local low folder and either delete or cut and paste to your desktop for safety. Reinstall beat saber and it should reinstall everything properly. Be careful in the %appdata% folder.

Warning: Beat Saber Arcade had a tiny update in the last 24 hours or so (no, no new content). They added an EULA which must be accepted before the game launches. Springboard's launcher doesn't like Steam popup windows and will close the game and return to the launcher environment. So you need to close Springboard and launch the game through Steam so that you can accept the EULA, then reload the Springboard launcher and it will work again as intended (otherwise your customers will get stuck in an endless loop)

Also in other Beat Saber news, we were having some trouble with the game where there seemed to be a lag and sometimes the screen would go blue and sometimes would just go back to the launcher. Turned out the Nvidia graphics driver software decided to optimize that game and also Raw data, which had a similar problem. Turned off the auto-optimization on both games and now it's back to normal. Just wanted to put it out there in case anyone else had a similar issue.

Does using the Beatsaber Arcade Mode mean we no longer have access to the full game? We tried the recommended fix and reinstalled the game and still seem to only have access to a previous version of the game.

I completed the instructions given to activate the Arcade version of beat saber. However, when I try to launch the game from springboard game menu it shows unknown game. Help how do I fix that?

I have followed everything on this thread but the problem I am having is the game will not show up on the SpringboardVR launcher. I can access and play it through steam but I can't even find it through the search fields on Springboard. It is definitely on my games list through Springboard. I'm not sure what I'm messing up here.

Hey Summer,

Can you try uninstall and reinstalling Beat Saber for me?

Thanks!

HunterLaneSBVR

Hey Summer,

Wanting to make sure that you got this taken care of. Have you made sure to select the song? Haven't heard of this issue elsewhere so far.

Thanks!

HunterLaneSBVR

Let me know if it doesn't!

Noticed that beat saber lags intensely anytime a screen is loaded. It interferes with gameplay currently & players get a game over screen by the time they load the level. Since the lag hinders them from actually slashing blocks.

Any idea what might be causing this issue? We're running the arcade version of Beat Saber

Strange, I haven't encountered this and I hope I don't.

See comment posted above. Nvidia may have set the game to auto-optimize.
