Initial Setup

First, you need to get the 1.52.0.1700 game client. This is the final released version of Marvel Heroes, so if you still have the game in your Steam library, you can download it from there. If you do not have the game in your Steam library, you may be able to find an archived copy of it on websites like Archive.org.

After you acquire the client, make sure to install .NET Desktop Runtime 6 if you do not have it installed already. You can download it here. Download this version if you are not sure which one to get.

The following instructions are intended for stable builds of the server. If you feel confident in doing everything yourself, please see Manual Setup.

Setting Up

  1. Download the latest MHServerEmu stable build and extract it.

  2. Run the included SetupSorcererSupreme tool and point it to your Marvel Heroes game files. You find them by right clicking on the game in your Steam library and choosing Manage -> Browse local files.

Running the Server

  1. Run the included StartServers.bat file and wait for MHServerEmu to initialize.

  2. (Optional) Open http://localhost:8080/AccountManagement/Create and create an account. Note: this link is going to work only when the servers are running.

  3. Run StartClient.bat and log in with your created account OR run StartClientAutoLogin.bat to play with a default account.

  4. When you are done, run the StopServers.bat file to stop the servers.

Updating MHServerEmu

In most cases you can update MHServerEmu simply by downloading the latest nightly build and extracting it into the MHServerEmu directory, overwriting all files.

Overwriting all files is going to wipe your account data: if you would like to keep it, make sure to back up and restore the MHServerEmu\Data\Account.db file. Please keep in mind that the server is still early in development, and major changes are going to require account wipes.

In some cases migrating to a new version may require additional steps. These are going to be posted on our Discord server in the #news channel.
