Beat Saber custom songs failing to load is one of the most frustrating issues players face, usually caused by an outdated modding framework (BSIPA), a game version mismatch, or corrupt song files after an official game update.
When your custom tracks suddenly show an infinite loading spinner or disappear entirely, it means the connection between Beat Saber and its modding tools has been severed. This guide covers how to diagnose and fix the issue for both PCVR and Meta Quest players.
Why Your Custom Songs Aren’t Loading
Official Beat Saber updates frequently break custom song mods. When the game code changes, the mods that inject custom maps into your menus can no longer communicate with the game. Primary Cause Description Game Update Mismatch The game updated, but your mods are for an older version. Downgrade the game or wait for mod updates. BSIPA Needs Refreshing The Beat Saber IPA injector was disabled by an update. Run BSIPA.exe or click “Patch” in ModAssistant. Corrupt Song Core Mod The SongCore plugin is missing, broken, or outdated. Reinstall SongCore via your mod manager.
Bad Map Files
A specific custom song folder has missing or broken .dat files. Delete the specific song folder and re-download it.
