# Beat Saber 1.44.1 Plugin Install and Verification
Tracking document for installing plugins into the Beat Saber 1.44.1 instance with
`plugin-helper`, then verifying the game loads and the IPA log stays clean enough
to continue.
Goal for this pass: get a working 1.44.1 plugin set. If a plugin blocks startup,
breaks song loading, or produces serious IPA errors, omit it and record the
failure. Do not fix incompatible plugins today.
## Source Baseline
Use `docs/notes/mods-used-in-1.40.8.md` as the starting inventory.
- 1.40.8 was installed through bs-manager plus some manual/private plugin drops.
- 1.44.1 was installed through bs-manager for the game only.
- 1.44.1 plugins should be installed through `plugin-helper`, not bs-manager.
- BeatMods and GitHub release metadata may differ from the 1.40.8 set, so every
selected plugin needs an explicit source/version recorded before install.
- Prefer upstream GitHub releases as the artifact source for normal plugins.
Use BeatMods as compatibility/dependency metadata by default, and as an
artifact source only when the upstream artifact is inaccessible, the package is
effectively BeatMods-only, or the package is a framework/library dependency
such as the .NET assemblies.
## Current 1.44.1 Instance Observation
As of 2026-06-28, the BSManager-managed 1.44.1 instance at
`~/.local/share/BSManager/BSInstances/1.44.1` appears to be an unpatched vanilla
game tree:
- root `IPA/`, `IPA.exe`, `winhttp.dll`, `Libs/`, `Logs/`, and `UserData` are
absent
- root `Plugins/` exists only because it was created manually and is empty
- the only pre-existing `Plugins` directory was `Beat Saber_Data/Plugins`, which
contains Unity/runtime native DLLs and must not be treated as the BSIPA mod
folder
By contrast, the Steam install for the same game version `1.44.1_20239` has
BSIPA instrumentation and support files at the game root:
- `IPA/`, `IPA.exe`, `winhttp.dll`
- `Libs/`
- populated root `Plugins/`
- `Logs/_latest.log`
- `UserData/`
This means BSManager's mod installation step does more than place user-selected
plugin DLLs. It also materializes the BSIPA loader and shared library substrate
that make IPA logs and BSIPA plugin loading possible. `plugin-helper` needs to
model that bootstrap layer separately from ordinary plugin batches.
The vanilla BSManager 1.44.1 launch did not produce an IPA log because BSIPA was
not present. It did produce a Unity `Player.log` under BSManager's shared Proton
compatdata and reached Steam/game initialization. So the missing bootstrap layer
is not proven to be required for vanilla Beat Saber to execute, but it is
required for the modded workflow and may affect the BSManager launch behavior we
are trying to reproduce.
## Verification Loop
Use the canonical smoketest workflow in `docs/SMOKETEST.md`.
For each batch:
1. Back up or snapshot the current 1.44.1 plugin state.
2. Install the selected batch with `plugin-helper`.
3. Start Beat Saber 1.44.1 with the foreground `timeout 10` Proton/FPFC launch.
4. Watch the IPA log during launch and first menu load.
5. Load a known-good custom song if the batch affects songs, playlists, maps, or
leaderboards.
6. Record result in this document.
7. If the game fails to load or logs serious plugin errors, remove the failing
plugin or batch and retry.
Suggested log checks:
- startup reaches main menu
- no plugin dependency resolution failures
- no repeated unhandled exceptions
- no missing assembly errors
- no hard failures from BSIPA, SiraUtil, BSML, SongCore, or CustomJSONData
- custom songs still enumerate
- playlist and downloader UI still opens when relevant

## plugin-helper Work Needed
Track the tool work discovered while using it for 1.44.1.
| Item | Status | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Add or generate a 1.44.1 lockfile | <span style="color:#8b949e; font-weight:600">todo</span> | Need exact versions, sources, hashes, and target paths. |
| Model BSIPA/bootstrap installation separately | <span style="color:#8b949e; font-weight:600">todo</span> | BSManager creates root `IPA/`, `IPA.exe`, `winhttp.dll`, `Libs/`, `Logs`, `UserData`, and root `Plugins/`. |
| Resolve BeatMods dependency closure | <span style="color:#8b949e; font-weight:600">todo</span> | Use as metadata/advisory input even when downloading plugin artifacts from upstream GitHub. |
| Install BeatMods library payloads into `Libs/` | <span style="color:#8b949e; font-weight:600">todo</span> | Include framework-library cases when required; these are likely exceptions to GitHub-preferred sourcing. |
| Support local/private plugin payloads | <span style="color:#8b949e; font-weight:600">todo</span> | Needed for paid closed-source and manual plugins. |
| Record install state for every copied file | <span style="color:#8b949e; font-weight:600">todo</span> | Required for rollback and clean omission testing. |
| Add a batch install workflow or documented command sequence | <span style="color:#8b949e; font-weight:600">todo</span> | Useful for two-or-three-at-a-time validation. |
| Add IPA log inspection helper | <span style="color:#8b949e; font-weight:600">todo</span> | Nice-to-have; manual log watching via `docs/SMOKETEST.md` is acceptable today. |
## Batch Plan
Install in small batches. Dependencies may be installed earlier than the plugin
that made them necessary, but record that relationship when it is known.
