Black Screen

[Astros The Fox]

So im trying to launch beat saber and i can see it load in the headset and desktop, but it only shows black. I can't hear any sound or feel the contorllers vibrating while interacting. This to me sounds like it hasnt loae but it never gets past the black screen.

-Using Oculus
-Tried uninstall/reinstall
-Restarting computer
-Verifying game files
-Even purchasing on oculus store, only to have the same problem

Sounds like the same problem im having here unsure how to fix that issue.

Just delete the entire Hyperbolic Magnetism folder, it will rebuild it on launch. That Should fix that issue. Edit- At least it fixed it for me.

I'm in the same boat. I've updated my graphics drivers, updated Windows, deleted the install, tried buying it and using it through Oculus store isntead of Steam, and I always get the black screen.

Can you post content of this file: "C:\Users\<user>\AppData\LocalLow\Hyperbolic Magnetism\Beat Saber\output_log.txt"? Also can you try to delete that whole folder?

I encountered the same problem after a SteamVR/WMR for SteamVR update. Going to try deleting the folder now.

Yep this was the problem! Why did this mess up the game though? Was it something I did to it or was it just a random issue?

[amollberg]

I had this problem too. However, deleting the "C:\Users\<user>\AppData\LocalLow\Hyperbolic Magnetism\" caused med to LOSE ALL my scores. My solution was to
(1) rename the folder to "Hyperbolic Magnetism.old",
(2) start the game, which created a new folder "Hyperbolic Magnetism" with a default settings.cfg,
(3) copy the settings.cfg from the new to the old folder,
(4) exit the game, and
(5) remove the new folder and rename the old back to just "Hyperbolic Magnetism".
You might also want to hold onto the settings.cfg, so you can just copy it back incase it becomes empty again, atleast until this bug is fixed.
