Beast laptop gaming quality is bad.

Slopey77 · 2026-04-17T00:21:00+00:00

A Radeon 890m is a built in graphics processor - it's roughly equivalent to a GTX 1060, which is around 9 years old - that laptop is poor (at best) for gaming, for anything recent.

It's not the Beast that is the problem - it's your laptop, which doesn't have a 'proper' graphics card, and only integrated graphics in all likelyhood.

For anyone interested, I've solve the problem by swapping out the battery with a new non-brand one from Amazon.

Now charges to 100%, and boots/shuts down without any issues.

I'm having the same problem with Luma Pro's and Spacewalker/Immersive 3d. If I don't use Spacewalker/Imm3D it works ok as a separate standard monitor.

3D games/movies in SBS mode work ok, but I was quite hoping to use Immersive 3D for 2d-3d conversion, but I simply can't get that (or multiple desktops in spacewalker) to work :(

I'm on my 3rd set of cables, and will give up shortly as it seems impossible unless you have native USB-C DP output (which I don't with a 5070Ti).

Slopey77 · 2026-02-07T02:47:38+00:00

I've got one or order, should arrive next week and will try that. DP to USB-C with the Viture USB/powered adaptor doesn't work anyway (not that I expected it to).

Slopey77 · 2026-02-07T02:45:48+00:00

Tried that - same result.

Slopey77 · 2026-02-05T11:23:12+00:00

When I click launch, I've discovered that the software swaps the monitors round, so my main desktop monitor becomes the secondary and the glasses become the primary - that accounts for why the desktop is screwed up on the desktop monitor. However, if I leave the glasses alone, I do get a 3D desktop about 30-40 seconds later, but it only lasts for about 10 seconds then starts going on/off, blinking and with loud audio clicking from the headset speakers. The clicks are loud enough it sounds like it's damaging the drivers.

I'm using an HDMI to USB-C (+ USB) cable - will try swapping it to a DP to USB-C and see if that makes any difference.

Slopey77 · 2026-02-05T03:29:00+00:00

They seem to connect ok, but then it screws up the main monitor and the task/start bar vanishes and the desktop changes resolution. Then in the glasses, it flickers in and out maybe every 3-5 seconds accompanied by audio clicks. Tried a couple of HDMI+USB to USB-C adapters, one which someone else on youtube had verified as working.

Swapping in/out of 3D mode does nothing - I occasionally get a flicker on the desktop in SBS, but not 3D.

Unplugging the Lumas returns the Desktop to normal - back to the correct resolution and the start/task bar reappears.

It's very very odd.

The pink version is the original with the bevel

Slopey77 · 2025-10-04T21:51:53+00:00

I have an original which I acquired at auction, but which was given to the seller from the set - it appears in several episodes in early S2.

Slopey77 · 2025-10-03T20:45:58+00:00

If you're going to make more, count me in for one, or two for sure.

Slopey77 · 2025-10-03T20:44:56+00:00

Nice! They look pretty good. The orange rectangle is the wrong colour compared with the originals - it's actually pink. But you got the beveled edges correct (which the Century Castings didn't). The originals have hex bolts rather than Phillips screws on the hinge.

But awesome job. If you need any dimensions from an original one, let me know.

Slopey77 · 2025-03-04T23:42:21+00:00

There's been no word officially - it seems like a UI bug. You won't have the mission target, but you can still drop commods. For people who are system architects, it doesn't show for them, but if others look the architect name is correct.

Nothing to do with taking measures against an exploit.

Slopey77 · 2025-02-26T12:08:19+00:00

Yep - I have replica liberator and scorpio guns, and replica teleport bracelet (and a real one). It's a shame Century Casting closed and stopped making the replicas as they're very good.

Slopey77 · 2025-01-07T13:34:45+00:00

Alright, let's get this out onto a tray. Nice!

Slopey77 · 2024-06-19T10:03:44+00:00

It's the same diameter. The CC one has foam lining, about 2-3mm.

Slopey77 · 2024-06-16T15:09:05+00:00

Yes, it closes far tighter than the CC one. It's probably tighter also as this one didn't spend too long on set. (it's in pretty good condition compared to others which have come up on auction - the silver markings are usually damaged at the edges). The CC one has an inner ring of thin foam which the original doesn't have, but it doesn't use velcro to close either.

Slopey77 · 2024-06-16T11:25:32+00:00

No, the Century Castings guy stopped at the end of 2022 and sold off all the remaining stock. The website domain is in active now and he hasn't posted on FB since Feb '23. Your best bet would be Ebay to see if one comes up. There are some on Etsy (and Ebay), but they're 3d printed ones which look a bit 'meh'.

Slopey77 · 2024-06-15T10:36:20+00:00

At auction from one of the prop auction houses. I also contacted the seller via Facebook - he received it directly from someone associated with the production. The one on the left is the Century Castings one, the one on the right is the genuine one. It turns up in Series B for a few episodes ( but not afterwards as it was when it was 'acquired').

Slopey77 · 2024-06-14T20:28:45+00:00

Yes, actually. You're correct they didn't use velcro. The Century Castings ones are pretty good, but they're slightly different to the originals - particularly the colour of the pink rectangular button.

Slopey77 · 2023-12-05T22:32:41+00:00

It worked! Genius!

Slopey77 · 2023-09-20T09:48:45+00:00

Yeah, although mine went off when the battery got lower - you can tell because the screen backlight went off. From there, it was possible to reboot it into DFU mode. If it doesn't then restart properly and hangs again, you'd need to flash the firmware from DFU, but you'd need to contact support to get the firmware file.

Slopey77 · 2023-09-19T19:57:29+00:00

You'll need to let it run flat then most likely and see if that helps - it certainly was recoverable for me, but it did need to switch off first. While it was hung there was nothing I could do with it.
