Version 1.15

Hi players, another big content update here!
 

• Original Soundtrack Vol.III with 6 free new songs.
• Color scheme (for notes/sabers, obstacles and lights) override and customization.
• Level environment override.
• More precise swing angles detection.
• Improved lightning.
• Tweaked note jump start positions and speed in Expert+ difficulty for Crystallized, Cycle Hit and What the Cat.
• Minor fixes in What the Cat beatmaps.
• Auto restart on fail option added to player settings.
• Fixed bug when game doesn't start properly if player data gets somehow corrupted.

 

What raises my eye is this row:

• More precise swing angles detection.

 

I guess this might be from a personal point of view, but does this make scoring easier or harder?

 

EDIT: It got a lot easier for me! After warming up with trying out the 6 new free songs on hard so did I move onto Legend on Expert once again and got Flawless on my first try! Even got SS on Escape shortly afterwards when working on getting S rank on 15 songs.

Wow! Thx for info! And just this morning I thought it would be nice to have a relaxing weekend with Beat Saber :]. Let's check those new songs!

Can also vouch that it’s MUCH easier to SS and S songs now. Finally got my SS on my first try of the day yesterday after attempting the trophy for over a week.

Definitely much easier, it also seems to be more lenient on the saber direction which makes some of those rapid sections a breeze

I can confirm that it's also WAY easier. After having not played this game for a few months, my wife and I decided to try it after reading this thread and we were able to get the SS no problem! I've also gotten quite a few other SS ranks working towards the 15 S ranked songs
