Beat Saber Sucks, it is going downhill.

[Ali]

Ever since the new multiplayer update the game has been stupidly broken. Patterns that I was able to hit before suddenly become impossible to hit. Lag has just gone up a stupid amount-I even added more ram memory to my computer and it did nothing. If you want a rhythm game, go get OSU or something else. The Beat Saber devs do not know what they are doing, and they just keep breaking the game and making it worse with each new update.

The BTS DLC isn't imho that bad. I'm not a big fan of that kind of music, but i don't hate it and the level designs are quite good and (at least for me) a nice challenge. Bit expensive maybe.

But about that sucking downhill: I agree there's some weird lag/issues with hit detection going on. I mentioned this in a lot of threads here before, so i won't go too much into detail, but it's quite annoying. Especially fast combinations of fast moving blocks have some random misses where i'm 100% sure it should be a hit. Or i get a hit sound and it doesn't count, or i hit the block, but don't get any rumble or i get rumble half a second later.

I really love Beat Saber, but i hope this issue will be fixed soon. It's really frustrating when i try to get a 100% combo and near the end of the song there's some random hit detection error. Stuff like that shouldn't happen in a game like this. This ruins not just the highscore, it ruins flow and concentration too.

I thought I was going crazy...
Additionally to the weird hit detection lag almost every song suddenly freezes up in the middle and obviously the song is lost after it starts running again. I almost never had freezes in this game before but since the mp patch I barely finished 10 songs due to this.
Thus the game became unplayable for me. :(
I wish they'd just release the pre-facebook version as another game in the lib with no updates ever. :/
This used to be my favorite game and I almost never play it now because of how infuriating it has become.
Also sorting songs by playcount does not work anymore which makes navigating custom songs impossible.
And mp stopped working for me too, not that it was fun to begin with.
Okay I vented enough. ^^
See you in a couple days when I try to play it again to be frustrated. >.<

Have you played Audio trip? Now that's a game to rival beat saber any day. It should be in the top 5 VR games.

I thought I was going insane - played this after like 3 or more weeks again and was hit with worse performance and much more Loosing tracking, even in parts where I don't swing my hands that much.

Huh?

I have terrible problems with the tracking in Beat saber and it's the only game that I do have tracking problems with.

One of my friends recommended something with stronger springs inside the controllers as the ones that are originally there are too weak and cause batteries not to touch both ends when you swing harder.
But I wonder, if it only happens in Beat Saber, do you perform similar hand movement in other games too?

Yeah, Until you fall, Pistol whip, Audio trip, all have pretty fast hand movement.
I have the quest 2 and I believe they fixed the battery movement flaw. One thing that has come to my notice though is that when the Quest 2 reports that you still have 80% battery life in your controllers the actual battery's are down below 1.3 volts. So there could be the issue.

Batteries for oculus are indeed important. I'm using 1.65V NiZn rechargeables for Quest 2 and never ever had a tracking problem, although my swing speed on right hand already reaches 180 km/h. CV1 was having problems in the same scenarios sometimes, although I made sure battery doesn't disconnect.

Another possible reason - CPU time to handle motion tracking properly. Keep in mind CPU time is not equal CPU headroom - when you do VR lots of things happening on your CPU simultaneously and for BS you want it to work all VR related things first. You need to monitor your play with oculus tray tool or debug tool to see whether you have frame drops and do some adjustments in case you do. Like giving higher priorities to oculus services and BS and some other tricks. I've mentioned it many times in other threads, you can find these tweaks if you are interested.

It's just happens that BS is the best VR lag detector available here right now :) You can have a lot more lags in hl alyx and don't bother even noticing them, but here 1 lag can ruin a 5 minute crazy play.

I don't suppose you can post a link to those batteries can you?

Only if they make it free, they spend way more time adding songs to the game than features it's a money grab. I am never going to buy any of the stupid music packs, if I really wanted the songs I can do it myself. The main thing they need to fix in the game is to carry you back a second and undo 1 second worth of wrong notes when you pause the game just like starting in the middle of a song in practice mode.

That thing about Music Packs is very true. They shouldn't be wasting their time making a pack for you to buy when we can easily get the same songs as a custom song and put them all into a playlist.
