Beat Saber black screen

I’m experiencing an issue while playing Beat Saber.

My current Beat Saber version is v1.42.0. Previously, on OS v83, the game launched and worked normally. However, after updating to OS v85, the game gets stuck on the loading screen.

The screen turns completely black with white stars. I can only see two black controllers and two footstep icons. When I move the controllers in this dark space, I can still hear sounds.

I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game multiple times, but nothing has changed.

Please let me know what I should do next.

  • Hi ​ SillyWoodchuck6350​ 🙂

    You should send a bug report and then hope this'll be fixed in the build version.

    Report a bug on Meta Quest

    You can also try, if the update tool can help......maybe it's not a bug of the version but the update didn't go through fully..... I'm not sure,  it'll give you any update when you are on PTC, though?

    Meta Quest software update | Meta Store

    If it is a bug of v85, maybe an older version of beat saber will still work with it?

    You can downgrade the game by going to your library in the mobile app - tab on beat saber - scroll down to "more details and tab the arrow to expand - tab on the version number - on the next page tab on channel and select an ealier version.

    You might have to reinstall it.

    Note: If you downgrade the game, you won't be able to play multiplayer - I think, I saw you recently🙃

    And as a last resort you can opting out from PTC and perform a factory reset, after settingthe Quest up again, you should be on v83.
