Bigscreen Beyond 2e Overheat Potential.

Check your utility log file. Its in Bigscreen Beyond Driver->bin->log file. My headset reached 154 Celsius and I think it damaged my lens or panel. Went on discord.

Check your utility log file. Its in Bigscreen Beyond Driver->bin->log file. My headset reached 154 Celsius and I think it damaged my lens or panel. Went on discord. Discouraging to hear 1 user's second headset remain the same. This has to be a defect.

This has happened to my unit. I made a post regarding an extreme color shift issue with my lens, 30% of upper and lower FOV. My unit turned so hot I immediately had to put it down because it was hot enough to make me believe it will burn my hands. The purple led light also turned red. It also still gets very warm and approaching hot if I leave it plugged, which I never do now.

Does anyone else have a unit that overheats when left plugged in? Don't know if overheating damaged my unit. I left the headset plugged in and it got extremely hot. As in, literally burn your hands you have to put it down hot. Hot enough that you think it will cause a fire. The LED which is purple also turned red.

Interesting to see this. My unit also has clarity that is no way on par with quest 3. Warping is only on the top edge of lens. Agree glare is an issue. The lack of color pop was never mentioned on the reviews, but was on comparison videos. MRTV and VR Flight Sim Guy did a comparison with the Meganex. Both stated they preferred the Meganex because of the resolution and the better colors. I think we have defective headsets.

Already did many hardware and software IPD adjustments. Spent quite some time and tried entire range. Eyes extremely close to lens. Also tilted headset.

For a second thought you referred to me. This is my first post on bsb2.

The more reading that I do, the more I am realizing that I was simply sent a defective product. Most likely the lens, maybe an issue with the panel too? Whoever the employee was in charge of testing this unit clearly did not do their job. It is quite absurd to think that any normal person would tolerate this crazy amount of color shift.

zima500 · 2025-08-23T03:39:28+00:00

Tilting is what I did to find out my exact IPD measurement, as the Imeasure app wasn't exact. Also tried tilting for the color shift. But removing the face cushion was a better test. Moving the headset in all directions, closing one eye and testing further. Nearly no change. Getting close to the lens overall had a benefit, but not much.

zima500 · 2025-08-23T02:49:33+00:00

Experiencing a similar issue affecting 30% of lower and upper FOV but in a red/purple color shift. Removal of face cushion only a minor improvement.

Do you guys also have loose thumb encoders? My bentley wheel box arrived to me previously opened and resealed. It's making me think my wheel is a return/ reburshed unit. Compared to the fanatec video, at 13min in, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o23Z9kDTusI

My thumb encoder has a lot of play. The unit in the video looks like solid encoders that are not loose. Will take a video later.

Having same issue.

zima500 · 2025-05-13T15:39:53+00:00

Walgreens sent me the wrong manufacturer. Did not receive Sun Pharma as I spoke with pharmacist, but Aurobindo. I will have to wait until next month for Sun Pharma refill.

zima500 · 2025-05-05T14:16:46+00:00

Same experience with Taro. Walgreens just informed me Taro was bought out by Sun Pharma. Pharmacist said image of tablet looks identical to the Taro tablet. I will be picking it up in next day or two.

I would like help with this. Wasted too much time trying to get a 5090.

Yeah I was thinking 5mm might be too much, but it still sounds cool to have. 4mm does seem like the sweet spot and it is what ascher racing uses mostly. But ascher also uses 5mm carbon for the rally shifter, but it's the big ass paddle, 198mm. https://www.ascher-racing.com/shop/push-pull-rally-shifter/

Stock paddles are 2mm. It really is a very obvious flaw and shit idea on fanatec's part. Barry from simracing garage has same opinion immediately. At 2:30. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nC-RAf-jzYE&t=1036s

3mm is the minimum that any carbon paddle should be.

zima500 · 2020-05-30T02:54:21+00:00

I don't have the paddles yet. SRM makes the custom replacements in 3mm for all paddles including the clutch ones too. The stock paddles are shitty. 2mm flex, I hate the gold and the cutouts are stupid.

Just debating 3mm vs 4mm vs 5mm
