Beat Saber on PSVR sees tracking issues because of the colored balls on PS Move (solution: turn off your TV)

If the room is dark enough maybe the red and blue from the tv could be shining into view of the camera?
But yeah, change the ball colour please
Yeah I don't get this, the camera isn't seeing the TV so how is it affected?
I don't understand how this would work either. However I once got really confused about why my controllers weren't tracking then realised it was my Philips Hue light bulbs
Have you tried changing the bulbs to green? It helps a bit allegedly.
Beat Saber's tracking was one of the reasons I sold my PSVR. The moves are simply not up for the task... At least in my case. I felt like on Expert+ the sabers would suddenly shift to odd angles.
Weird. I honestly never had tracking problems on Beat Saber.
I feel like this is a small minority who have this problem or more people would have reported it. Game works fine wherever I play it.
Yup, the latest update made tracking noticeably worse.
Previously, in my setup, it was mostly flawless.
Also - regarding "the camera doesn't see the TV" posts - some people might have glass cabinets in their living room, or a reflective picture frame, or anything really.
Seeing how this is a VR game, turning off your TV display (most TVs allow you to only turn off the screen, not the audio) is reasonable advice.
It is beyond me why devs don't choose the color of the move controllers if a game has red and blue. Like it ain't that hard.
Yeah for the first couple months it was fine then I started getting issues. I tried positioning the camera differently, made sure everything was clean... basically did all the troubleshooting. I noticed beyond just the Moves the play area itself started shifting slightly. It was really odd.
Hmm I haven't played it yet since that update, but that would be really annoying if tracking got worse. Don't have alot of problems normally.

Whoa others are having trouble with this update too? I thought it was just me that had this problem.
I play beat saber with my tv off. My room is dark as well and for some reason the tracking is like 10 degrees off. I can't even play expert + anymore. I've tried everything to fix the problem and it keeps throwing itself off.

Strange, never had this issue like that with any PSVR game tbh.
Not really sure how the camera would be picking up anything up from the TV, as the camera isn't looking at the TV ???

Yeah it's fine now, it was just set to exactly the same colour as the move at the time!
For one, Beat Saber excels as a local social game. Many, many people play it with other people in the room who are looking at the TV. Also, a lot of gamers still use their TV as the primary audio device. Yes, PSVR is designed for earbuds/headsets in general (3D audio in a lot of games), but Beat Saber music blasting out loud as you play has an appeal to plenty of players.
Quest for sure. Better tracking, but also the devs just showed off 360 degree levels last week at E3 for Quest.
I once had an issue with tracking but solved it quickly.
On the other side of the room was a picture hanging with glass cover that was reflecting the move controllers.
No problems since and none with beat saber

Or turn a light on.
PSVR tracking is much better when there is a soft light illuminating the room. No light can cause problems from the tv or light bounce off white walls. Too bright a light completely fucks everything.
