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

Well, currently you can get 1.29.1 from the beta menu in steam. So you can actually download that version on steam and clone it using BSmanager (there's a clone menu in it), then download 1.30 again.
That way you never need to put your login in BSmanager, if that's what you were worried about.

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?

not exactly BS clones but you may want to check up on Ragnarock or pistol whip, second isnt really much of rhytm stuff but good excercise and fun, but ragna is rhym notes pushing and has custom songs

Use the legacy version and click install mods

I think I'm just going to stop buying 'packs' for this game.

I have already purchased the game 3 times over my account .. my daughters.. and Oculus account..

Have purchased all the 'packs' on oculus.. and on my Valve account have only bought a couple as I have just purchased the Index .. .. yep.. think I'm going to stop giving meta money.

I seriously hope that 'meta' doesn't destroy this game like so many other greedy companies have, in my opinion. Oh wait.. it seems they are. slowly but surely.

not sure to be frank.
I've been using mod assistant ever since I bought beat saber.

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

can they stop updating the game already so pointless

It really is. I'll never understand why they never implemented official mod support. That's absolutely essential to the long term health of a game's community. I'll also never understand why absolutely every update, no matter how minor, always seems to break everything. It's like they intentionally made the game to be as unfriendly to mods as possible for some reason.

I also use mods and custom maps, so I had issues too, but I just downgraded to the legacy version and all mods are working again.

But Beat Games had absolutely no choice but to do that update.

The Unity Engine version that they were using (i.e. 2019.4.28.X LTS) was outdated and had all including Security Support end on 16th June 2022 so the engine wasn't being supported by Unity Technologies since mid last year.

Now that they have done this update we "should" now be safe from these HUGE Major Version jumps for the next year or two.

Unity 2021.3.x LTS (what the game is now using) is the latest Long Term Support by Unity Technologies, that will keep getting biweekly until mid 2023 and then monthly updates until April 2024.

But I think we may / will see another Unity Engine version upgrade last quarter this year or first quarter next year, assuming they want to keep getting Engine Support from Unity Technologies.

So we just need to wait for the Mod Devs to update their mods.

I figured out as to how we can use mod assistant again.
we will have to use the unity version of beat saber.
that's the only way that it would work.

Yeah, its called Legacy Mode in the beta section for Beat Saber

are the mods working currently with recent (non legacy) version? I see they just released 1.34 few days ago...
I plugged my VR after some months, and have legacy installed and doesnt feel like trying to update and see for myself, just to get frustrated with broken game...

Well I just moved back to the Live version and there were updates to the mods and all the mods that I use worked fine and the game loaded up fine and also loaded up all my songs etc.
*** update ***
Actually not all my mods are showing up or working, so I will be going back to the legacy version until the Mod Devs catch up.

But it would depend on the mods you are using I guess.

Not sure why I'd bother updating. The official songs have AWFUL mapping that always just comes down to chopping rows of blocks with windmills center lane at a slow pace. All wrist and obstacles, no groove or movement and pretty much no relation/sync with the music. Plus it's all the kind of music you'd see on a "NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL" CD in the 2000s.

nah the modded songs stay just the search bar and other stuff disappear, it's cause beatsaber updates regularly and modassistant just can't catch up

Just switch over to the Legacy version via the BETA Section and then run and exit the game and update ModAssistant then you should be fine.
