Modassistant is not working

[Wizard Lizard]

ever since the new update modassistant just refuses to install mods, I reverted the version and it either black screens or flat out doesnt register the mods anymore is there any fix to this

Same. I can't install any of the 'old' mods or the game just black screens on startup.

ngl I'm actually quite pissed now. I think I accidentally deleted all my downloaded custom songs while trying to figure out why the game isn't working.

Get the Beat Saber Legacy Launcher.

bslegacy(dot)com. (Website is down at the moment, check on it a bit later)

It lets you download previous versions of Beat Saber issue free and it will pack them in separate folders, making Steam unable to affect your files in the "common" folder.

I highly recommend this as you can essentially "quarantine" any Beat Saber version you want without Steam affecting these versions. Whenever you got them, point ModAssistant towards the installed version you chose, and choose your mods from there.

If you want a guide on how to use this launcher, check this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5NUn8_5fOM

I've been using it no issue and never had to wrestle with automatic Beat Saber updates since.

Every time I launch, it deletes 10 - 11 of its files. After each launch I have to verify my game so it can re-download them, but like yall said just a black screen when I have mods.

Can I still launch this on a Quest 2 through Steam VR?
If not, how is it accessed through a Quest 2?
Also wouldn't I have to move all of my custom songs and playlists over to that?

I hate how frequent the updates have become because I'm really only playing once every week or two now and it feels like every single time I get my mods back, I'm losing them again. The YUR fit has been busted for me for like two or three months now and still isn't working :T We don't need all these stupid updates.

[CrayFray]

I use a Valve Index, I don't know how Quest headsets handle that. sorry.

For your custom playlists and songs, those should be moved to a "linked" folder containing all levels, said folder is accessed by all versions equally. The launcher has an option to create said linked folder.

click on beatsaber properties >opt into legacy version > restart mod assistant and uninstall all mods and re install mods

[Ukondy]

here is a link to a guide that will help fix modAssistance LINK

I recommend BSManager: https://www.reddit.com/r/beatsaber/comments/10qsbrt/bsmanager_all_in_one_tool_for_beatsaber_allowing/

Let's you downgrade; update mods, etc.

[ArgRIB]

Or just use the beta pre unity release:

[Lordken]

thanks @ArgRIB, beta seems to work
theres also thread on github with same workaround https://github.com/Assistant/ModAssistant/issues/504 (although modassistant itself has nothing to do with mods compatibility)

Hopefully they wont pull out this beta until we have another stable mod release for 1.30.x, I guess unity must have broken lots of stuff as its over month and there no mods past 1.29.1

I've been waiting for 2 years for a stepmania esqe open source version of beatsaber, there are a "few" ... kind of? of beat saber clones, moon rider and opensabervr but both are wonky with like only 1 or 2 people on it. I will throw a cool 20$ in donations at a product that can do beat saber without all this update breaking hassle. If there is an indiegogo, kickstarter, patreon, itchio or something that has a nice, opensource beat saber clone lemme know cause I am beyond annoyed at this point.

Somebody so something, the community is begging ya, does meta go after them all or something or people just not willing to make a clone?

I've been using BSmanager for a while now, it lets you install multiple versions of the game and share the custom songs and other folders (like models, platforms, blocs, sabers). It avoids the need to copy/paste the files between versions.

With it you can run older versions of the game with the same custom tracks as the up to date version while waiting for mods to update.

yeah it requires a steam login at the moment which I wont touch, I know why it does it but im just too worried about it having my info.
