Beatsaber Multiplayer with Mods

PSSST

• Join our BEATLEADER CLAN (Fill out #Tell-Us-Things with your profile URL!)

Prerequisites

BSManager - Used for launching modded Beat Saber

Beatsaver - Find songs you'd like to play (Easier on PC than in game sometimes!)

Current version

We are currently using Beat Saber 1.29.1.

The closed beta for 1.35.0 is currently undergoing testing. We have also participated in this testing in the past. That said, generally speaking, we're sticking with the old version until at least a public beta is announced. Keep an eye on the BeatTogetherBS twitter for announcements. https://x.com/BeatTogetherBS

Disclaimers

• Bring water, this is a game where you’ll do aerobic exercise, so remember to hydrate.
• If you need a break, to your left while in the multiplayer lobby, there’s a toggle to be an “Spectator”. Once turned on you won’t be pulled into the next map to play and you can watch.
• Clear some IRL space, some maps have obstacles that will require you to move around a little, so make sure there’s nothing you can knock at arms reach or that you can trip on.
• We will be doing songs up to expert+ difficulty with no fail mode on. Everyone will have a chance to choose a song and difficulty that works for them.
• Push yourself only to where you are comfortable. If you need to rest, please do so.
• If you just want to hang out and listen to music, feel free to just hang out!
• If you’ve got a fitness tracker, turn it in and let’s compare afterwards!
• Together as a team we will get in shape! Round is a shape, right?

Errors & How To Fix Them

“This song is not owned by all players”

From what we’ve seen, this is very likely due to the song requiring certain mods, if it’s giving an error along the lines of “This song is not owned by all players”, please send us the name or link to it so we can list it here and hopefully figure out what we might be missing to be able to play it. Make sure you have all the required mods listed above.

Something just DOESNT WORK

• Make sure you are launching through BS Legacy Launcher
• Make sure Mod Assistant's options > Install Folder is pointed TOWARDS THE BS LEGACY LAUNCHER INSTALLATION FOLDER, NOT THE STEAM INSTALLATION!
• Make sure after you select the mods in Mod Assistant, click "Install"! They are NOT installed just simply by clicking them.

Required/Some Mods Not Appearing In Mod Assistant

Launching the game once (through BS Legacy Launcher!) and it should show the full list of mods in the Mod Assistant if they do not appear for you!

Song Request System (Song Request Manager)

There exists a Beat Saber Song Request Mod that enables your friends or Twitch stream viewers to send you song requests directly!

• NOTE: YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE STREAMING FOR PEOPLE TO USE THIS!
