    ALT + enter  switches back and forth full screen and windowed. Also esc will bring up the menu. F1 brings up settings. Hope that helps.

    Dear 3DXChat Community,
    The game server is undergoing technical work. The connection to the game may be lost for several hours. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for your understanding!
    All active players will receive compensation of game time and xgold.

    If it bothers you so much, un-iggy and then re-iggy them. That seems to make them disappear on my system, anyway.

    I think that what pretty meant was that players who were on your ignore list before the update are no longer hidden from view, even though you can't see each other's profiles or send messages. So, no, fixing that would not bring back Pandora.

    Authenticating logins before allowing sign-ins is one way. If you put a CAPTCHA type test on the login screen, you might shut down this attack altogether. That might be the easiest hot fix. It will inconvenience players, but it will also stop the server crashing (provided you've done it correctly). Since the problem is that the server can't process every request being received, the obvious answer is to stop processing them without authenticating them.
    For long term, it's best to use some type of middleware solution for protection, like AWS.
    The only other options are:
    Have a full-time network programmer who can code proprietary solutions himself Hire a temporary network consultant to either code the solution for you or advise the best approach.  
    If you're doing none of the above things, 3DXChat could be dead within the month.

    So I work in tech, and am a systems administrator. Granted, for websites, not games, but, puts me in a better understanding than most for this particular problem. Anyway, DDoS attacks are incredibly hard to fight. So here's the thing with DDoS attacks, what happens is hackers infect random peoples PCs with a virus. Maybe the virus doesn't even seem to have any ill effects on the user. Just sits there (often times they throw plenty of other nasty things in there, but, lets keep it simple for now). So now, you have control of thousands of computers under your control, all that are real, have network histories with the ISPs, are on multiple ISPs, all over the world. Now you point them at a server or domain. You hit it with a request that looks somewhat legit. Maybe a login request, or a general ping to see if the server is up (something the game would normally do). Now, you just do that again, and again, and again. You stagger it though. You have 10,000 PCs in your botnet, but not all 10,000 are making requests every second. Say you have 1,000, and they hit a few times in a second. Then they take a break, and swap to the next 1000 and so on. This keeps individual IP addresses from being flagged as trying to access too much, while still flooding the server. So, they're making legit requests to the server the game would make. The question is, how do you filter out the bad traffic? The short answer is, you can't. The long answer involves a LOT of analysis, trying to figure out the IP addresses, what requests they're making, looking for patterns to filter them out (there are programs to assist with this). Now, the other thing to consider is, if you're the hacker, and you're starting to get IPs that are getting blocked, you retire them and get other computers on your botnet. So, ideally, you have something that gives a fake reply to the IPs so the hackers are none the wiser (or at least slow them down). This can be very difficult and much easier said than done. There is no way to 100% filter out DDoS traffic without false positives. It's going to be glitchy for people. 
     
    What do they need? New data center will help, but it's not a matter of anything physically different, it's a matter of support. They need to either move to a datacenter that offers high level support for DDoS and experience with it, or, hire a company that specializes in it, and give access to firewalls.
     
    Not knowing their architecture, my advice would be, move to the cloud with load balancers and a distributed solution. Be able to spawn up more servers when needed, and take advantage of Amazon AWS or Microsoft Azure tools as well as hire a company experienced with DDoS attacks

    This “game” literally costs players pennies a day, less if you buy the Christmas special 
    PENNIES!!!
    yes the server crashes often, it happens to me all the time. Yes the game being down for days is terrible, but you get compensated for it with free fake money to by drinks and gifts with and they add the lost days back 
    instead of sitting on the fucking forum bitching why not just find something else to do for a few days  play another game if that is your thing, go ride a bike, go protest something, go outside for a while for Zeus’s sake 
     
    It’s not the end of the fucking world if you can’t do the # 22 dance while others annoy you by bunny hopping all over the place for what amounts to in the grand scheme of things only a few waisted hours of your life

    This why I stopped subscribing and always buy a one-time code. The price is the same, but I never have to worry about unwanted renewals. 
    By the way, I have found BMT Micro to be very helpful is straightening out this kind of issue. Yes, it is a shame that the 3DX Devs don't know what they are doing. But fortunately for them, BMT Micro picks up a lot of their slack.

    Sage Stoner reacted to Gizmo in DDoS Attack!   
    Dear 3DXChat Community,
    Since May 15, our servers have been suffering from a large DDoS attack. We performed a number of actions and were able to restore the forum and bring it back online and kept it stable, but the game server is still down. We have requested support from the datacenter engineers, but unfortunately it supplies limited support during the weekend.
    Our main goal is to launch the game server and return you to the game as soon as possible. The lost game time will be compensated back to you all, as well as all players will receive additional bonuses. Extra game time and XGold will be credited to your account when the game is back online.
    I will post updates in this thread when I receive them.
    Thank you for your support during this time!

    Well, I bought a time code during Xmas 2018 and didn't redeem it until August 2019, so the short answer to your question is: No, there is NO expiration date on time codes.

    Uninstall the game, use Gizmo's batch file to clean your registry of legacy entries, then log into the members section of 3DXChat.com using the same username and password you use to log on to the game. Download the game from the member's section, and reinstall it, being sure to give the game folder a unique name, like 3DXChatJan2020. 
    It should install and update itself properly after that.

    Personally love that there's a pigtails style now, and the new one-pieces are very nice, but could they be recategorised as Underwear or Stockings like the bodystocking? It's nice to wear but annoying to have to choose between swimwear or outerwear/dress rather than be able to wear one over the other like you can with bikinis.
    Although I think the clothing in general needs an overhaul in terms of flagging and what can be layered with other clothes or togglable during sex.
