Other common reasons include using old versions of mod installers (like BSIPA or ModAssistant), missing important files, or putting files in the wrong place. Before moving forward with these solutions, try to run your game without any mods, and then again with the mods enabled if the issue started after updating Beat Saber.
1. Allow Beat Saber through Your Antivirus/Firewall
Your antivirus and firewall play an important role in keeping your system and data safe. However, mods may not work if your antivirus or firewall is blocking something Beat Saber needs in order to function properly. In this case, allowing Beat Saber through your antivirus and firewall may resolve the issue. Warning: Proceed at your own risk when editing antivirus or firewall settings, as this could leave your system exposed to threats like trojans or viruses.
2. Re-Patch Beat Saber for Modding
Mods might stop working in Beat Saber because of a temporary issue with the patching process, especially if Beat Saber was recently updated. Re-patching Beat Saber can help fix the problem.
3. Verify the Integrity of Beat Saber’s Game Files
Game files can become corrupt for many reasons, such as a power failure or system crash. If you use mods, corruption is even more likely. Verifying the integrity of your game files with Steam can help fix missing or broken files.
4. Reinstall the Mod Assistant for Beat Saber
Sometimes mods stop working if Beat Saber was updated and your mods aren’t yet compatible. In this case, reinstalling the mods using Mod Assistant often resolves the issue.
5. Reinstall Beat Saber
If nothing else worked, the Beat Saber installation itself might be corrupted. Fully reinstalling Beat Saber can often fix the issue.
