  1. Hey Rolfio, cool to hear from you being a fellow Mac user. Yes, the keyboard layout is a real drag when playing 3DX. But for me it is working fine more or less for quite a while now. I am on a 2017 iMac Pro (Intel) with 3DX installed on a Windows 10 partition. My 2015 MacBook Pro is running WIN 8 and is working pretty fine too. I formatted the WIN partitions without using BootCamp but was able to set the right sizes for all the partitions that way (with having lots of hustle installing all the BootCamp drivers manually). The problem is that your macOS version and it's drivers corelate with your WIN drivers (foremost audio, keyboard and mouse drivers cause the biggest problems), so it's crucial to find the right BootCamp driver package for your macOS and WIN version. There is a driver package called Trackpad++ that brought full mouse functionality (the free version needs a reinstall every week), even with the right mouse button which is needed so badly for moving the cam and avatar around tin the rooms. The cheapest and easiest possibility might really be to buy a cheap PC mouse with hardware buttons instead of the complicated magic mouse with so many gestures? Further more you'll need to fiddle around with keyboard settings in BootCamp and Windows also. I tweaked the "gaming" preset a lot and got all I need for the game working for me finally. I don't own a M1 Mac myself but can imagine that it must run much smoother with all the graphic load on the system. I have been on macOS Mojave for ages but finally upgraded to Monterey recently. And now the screen resolutions and text/UI sizes need a lot of re-setting again. Lots of trial and error all in all...that's the bad news:( I wish you good luck!!
  2. Happy Birthday from my side too 3DXChat! I took part in this stunning journey since 2016 with you:) Up to many more years to come!!!
  3. Thanks for your fast replies Diana and Kimmy! I think, I understood now which effect changing the general sea-level has on the different locations in my room, so you really helped me a lot! It feels like I should simply test different hight adjustments of the whole cave in relation to that level first before taking the next step of designing the interiour of it.... We'll see where it leads me:) Cheers to you! xTomx.
  4. Hello, just a short question to all you pro builders: I created a cave inside an island in my private room. The tunnel goes down far below sea-level so right now anyone who enters it must have big lungs to reach the floor How is it possible to get it dry or to create room that are located below the general level of water in the rest of the room? I bet there's a simple setting or function for that? Thanks in advance for your tips! xTomx.
  5. Update: Oh my, finally I'm back into business!! I found my skin under the waterfall on Love Island:)
  6. Does anybody of you experience the same: After the last patchsome colours seem to be non-existent? I lost all my skin and parts of my clothing, too on my Avatar! Only the head is visible and the t-shirt...no jeans, shoes, np hair and yes: no dick, too! But the real drag is that I see the other players bugged, also: Colours seem to be reversed, mostly brighter colours don't seem to be displayed at all and other skin tones seem far to dark brown. There seem to be many clothes missing in my character Editor. I tried to reinstall the game with no imrovement! Any suggestions?
  7. Hello to you all, shurely you tried not only to change the formats but to reduce the size of the pics, too? I had the problem of only the wheel Spinning for ages but not Progress with the upload until I treid a smaller copy of the Picture!
  8. Yes, Shane, that's correct. Good luck with the Installation! Greetings from Tom.
  9. Thanks for your tips! It was possible to upload PNG only for a while, as Linda stated but now it changed again? I suggest to test both formats if you run into roblems with uploading. Goold luck for colourfuls pics:) Greetings from Tom.
  10. Hello again dani, try the following: -ninstall the crippled 3DX Version with the uninstaller -download the installer from the 3DX homepage and run as administrator: un-tick the chebox to automatically launch the game in the process -let the patcher update it to the last build -run the 3DX Chat application as Administrator from the game-folder It worked for me after some hustle! Good luck dani! Greetings from Tom.
  11. Hello dani, I experience the same thing here! I have to download the installer again now. I'll get back to you as soon as I found out more. Tom.
  12. Oh, it's so sad that you still have so much issues! Because I heard that many players start to leave the game because of just that! @Max: If the game loads but you can't see anyone in it (-nor your own profile data), it really sounds like some kind of connection problem to the game server. There are 2 sets of settings to check or to fix always: The ones in OS X and in Parallels, too! I stopped fiddling with Paralles at one Point because, even getting a playable Setting in the end, it crashed too often ): But I read a forum entry about a coming 64-Bit version of PlayOnMac!! There are already some test-files available on GitHub but taht will take some time until there will be an official version coming out, I think. The game is fully playable on a windows partition on a Mac, at least for me...I hope this can be an incentive??-No mouse or conttrol issues or Screen flickerings anymore. I'd offer a cocktail on the beach bar on the nightly Love Island, too...if that helps:) Good Luck! Tom. Specs: iMac i5, 3.1 GHz, 32GB (older machine) Win 8.1 Bluetooth Mouse
  13. Hello Qween, if you already have the desired picture stored on your computer, you can resize it or save it in another format. For example simply reduce it by 50% and save it as a PNG (which can be uploaded into your profile). I use the built-in graphics tool "Paint" in Windows for that. Good luck! Tom.
  14. Hello Freya, I think you're exactly right with your complains but men often don't show much taste when it comes to clothing, anyway:) I play tihs game for a while now so I'm not hooked on all those 18 year old fitness-bunnies anymore like in the beginning. It's about the players behind the screen and Avas and therefore a better chance for customization would be really nice. But the profiles make it all personal and interesting for me. I stick to jeans and a t-shirt mostly due to the lack of variety but often feel kind of under-dressed when going out into clubs and polished rooms. A bit sad indeed!
  15. Hello Thania, that seems to be the direction it all takes in the game: Just silent pose-hopping. Well...fine with me...but all respect and interest in the partner's wishes and joy are gone with it, too. Feels like what you long for is not "mainstream" here anymore? -a bit sad!
  16. Oh, that sounds like a real tip, thank you Takisa!
  17. Thanks to you all for your replies. So the bad thing is that there still is no way to add a so-called ghosts to a scene but the good one is to know that I'm not collecting ignores from people I hadn't even met before- like shown in the blank profiles
  18. Thanks for your reply Yvonny! Yes, that might be the case. It happens quite often that a profile is displaying an ignore when I try to open it for the first time...and I learned that I'm not the only one facing this problem I just wanted to be shure that I didn't miss something technically because this old feature of the tweaked DLL offered so many opportunities!
  19. Hello, actually I see more and more people in action with invisible partners throughout the rooms...after all the discussion about the possibility of playing with ghosts- is there a work-around out now? Greetings from Tom.
  20. Hello again to all you Mac users, I just want to forward some experiences with playing this game on a Mac. Of the virtual machine solutions you mentioned Aliviax, I only tried Parallels. But I bet that it can be said for all of them: Emulating a complete OS with all the high graphic loads and renderings is REALLY stressing the hardware, especially the graphic components in the shiny encapsuled bodies. My system started to flicker and later even crash when the GPU reached temps above 80 degrees. I don't know if it'S the skies that cause more stress or the water but foremost it seemed to be brightness in my case! So my tip is for Parallels users: -Run it in windowed mode ( not full Screen / Coherent??). -Switch 3DX to windowed mode in a smaller size, too (in the game's settings) and -generally try to reduce brighness: In rooms and the even general screen-brighness. After a while my whole system tended to overheat and even winding the fans up with tools only delayed the problem (-when sunbathing on the beach)... One thing that might be helpful for you: In my case the first room starting to flicker to a un-playable extend was indeed the common beach! Try to drag the 3DX window down until it is nearly not visible anymore when entering a room!! In many cases it loads without flickering, then Pull the window up again after the room is fully loaded. @SuzyShine: Your settings look really good, try to activate "windowed" and reduce the resolution (=window-size) a step and check for improvements, that depends on your screen size naturally... Ah, one more tip for you: The super-fast mouse-control and camera movement was suddenly gone after updating / changing the mouse driver, check for the version and usability with your Windows build. @ jbond, Sorry, I didn't read your sytem specs before answering you... I don't own brand new Macs, too but sadly i never really got 3DX working stable on my old i5 MacBook Pro (was it 2.0 GHz??). How much of graphic RAM does your machine offer? I bet the standard what was it? 235MB?- From my experience the bigger graphic card with 512 (?) MB is at least required, especially with the extra load when using Parallels? On my i5 iMac 3.5 GHz 3DX runs fine and on my i7 2,5 GHz MacBook Pro, too now. Both on a secondary Windows Partition now. Folks, i really hope that you can solve your problems...I always thought I was nearly the only one having them ): Good luck!! Greetings from Tom.
