Can't say anything about viruses (lol), but the game needs to know the list of currently online users at any given time, so it's quite easy to get this info. Though what harm can be done by knowing if you're online or not? O_o
 
The earliest version of the game I have is 335 and it requires your password to get the friend/ignore list. Can't say what was or was not possible before that version.
 
I think I wrote about actions in detail here on the forums already somewhere. Some of them require confirmation or need to be executed in the correct sequence by both participants to work, but basically yes, you can send random commands to the server some of which can be executed (like make a random character walk somewhere and so on). 
 
The Pandora, I suppose, is just constantly monitoring the player's profiles and other info provided by the server, so it just tracks if a character or some other info has been deleted and marks it as that.
 
Hacking the 3dx server would be as hard (or easy?) as hacking any other server that is there on the net. It would certainly require the skills in the field. Also, it would be a subject for all kinds of legal pursuit %)
 
The server does not share user IPs with other clients, each client is connected to the server and only the server knows the IP. Radio streaming is a whole another matter though. It is not really a part of the game and just uses the BASS audio library to handle this stuff. So if you're streaming from your PC directly, every listener will of course have your IP. But if you're using some streaming server for that, the listeners will only get the streaming service IP.

It's not possible to read other people's PMs, the server only sends those to their intended receivers, so in order to do that one would have to hack the game server and intercept messages there.
 
It's very unlikely there is a way to read a person's friend/ignore list without knowing their login password either. Probably authentication wasn't needed in earlier versions, but it is certainly required now.
 
Keep in mind though that when you share a game log (in case of a bug report or something), the list of your chars, your friend and ignore lists are also there, so if you just post the logs on the forum, anyone can read those.

Probably because Alex seems to be stuck in the permanent WiP state, lol

3dxchat.exe gets replaced with updates, so you setting will probably be reset with every patch. But you can create a batch file to run 3dx and set its properties to always run as admin

The patcher is run by the game executable, so you need to run the game with admin rights for that.

Any writing activity inside Windows's system or program folder requires elevated rights since Windows 7. Changing the default installation path to something like "C:\Games\" may fix the issue for some users, but that really depends on their local configurations.
You can try starting the patcher process with elevated prompt by letting the OS handle the execution:
ProcessStartInfo processStartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("Patcher.exe") { UseShellExecute = true, Verb = "runas" }; try { Process.Start(processStartInfo); } catch (Win32Exception ex) { if (ex.NativeErrorCode == 1223) { // The user has canceled the UAC request // Show some error message window here } else { throw; } }Though it may fail to elevate rights if the user has the UAC off.
 
It is also possible to check if the user has admin rights in advance like this:
WindowsPrincipal windowsPrincipal = new WindowsPrincipal(WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent()); bool isAdmin = windowsPrincipal.IsInRole(WindowsBuiltInRole.Administrator); Maybe also check the Windows version: if (System.Environment.OSVersion.Version.Major < 6) — no need to elevate anything. Not sure if the game will even start on XP though

I mostly meant in comparison  
I have a powerful desktop and a pretty laggy laptop, the bug almost never happens on the desktop, but occurs on the laptop every now and then.

Changing chat messages count is a matter of changing a single number in the code
Also, it has nothing to do with the server after the message has been received, though it may affect the UI performance if there are too many messages in the chat window (Unity's UI is not very fast when it needs to process a lot of text messages. It may probably get better if Unity's text is replaced with TextMeshPro), I've been told that the UI starts to get laggy when there are about 500 or more messages in the window, but it also depends on the computer's power.
 
Creating a chat logger may be pretty simple or pretty complicated — depending on how one decides to implement it

In class orgasmMeter in method runCumshotAction() instead of:
if (login.sex == "f") { nodejs.SendRoom("~action/squirt|" + login.login); } else { nodejs.SendRoom("~action/cumshot|" + login.login + "|" + login.reciever + "|"); } should be:
if (login.sex == "f") { nodejs.SendRoom("~action/squirt|" + login.login + "|" + login.reciever + "|"); } else { nodejs.SendRoom("~action/cumshot|" + login.login + "|" + login.reciever + "|"); }

The simple/high quality water setting is applied when the scene is loaded, so it won't do anything until you reload the room.
As for the other settings, yes, most of them are applied on-the-fly.

Never ever had to clear the registry settings for 3dxChat or reinstall the game to fix a problem (and my game doesn't really have an easy living XD).
Registry just stores a few in-game settings, so they don't really have anything to do with patches or updates, no need to reset that unless you just want to reset the settings to defaults.
3dxChat is a generic-built Unity game, it doesn't even care about being properly installed or anything, you can install as many same or different versions of the game as many times as you like and they will work just fine, just install every copy into a different folder. The only thing they will share is the user settings.
You can also copy, move or delete those copies as you need to.
 
So, you can just download the 363 installer, install it into a different folder (if you want to keep the previous version) and don't mess with the buggy patcher.
 
As for the patcher itself, it's a pretty old bin-diff patching system from Unity's Asset store that has been abandoned by the author a long while ago due to a lot of bugs and no time to fix them. So, it's probably not very reliable

I have no idea what this all is about, but why not just tell those people to fuck off and carry on? And block them and their e-mail addresses and what else?
