We have been hard at work! Thanks to your feedback, suggestions, and the dedicated testing of our beta team, we are proud to release a major update for the Marvel Realm Suite.
Here is a brief look at what is new. For specific technical details regarding each change, please refer to the official changelog.
What is New in Marvel Realm?
- Overhauled Updater System: We have completely redesigned the update engine. The suite now supports parallel file downloading, meaning each item is fetched via multiple connections simultaneously. This results in download speeds that are several times faster than before.
- Enhanced Security Protocol: We have restructured the Marvel Realm communication protocol to make the system more robust. The new architecture safeguards against potential attacks, malfunctions, and tampering.
- Modular Database Structure: The database has been reorganized to be more granular. We have split larger items into several separate updatable databases. This is highly beneficial for you: now, the system only updates specific items that have changed, rather than redownloading large, unchanged files.
- Optimized Asset Sizes: We have made significant adjustments to file handling. Updatable assets are now much smaller and more efficient, saving you disk space and bandwidth.
- Improved Joystick Management: Controller handling has been upgraded. Now, if you have several joysticks connected to your computer, you can now specifically select which input device you want to use directly from the settings menu.
⚠️ Important Note: Action Required
Because the connection and communication protocols have been fundamentally changed, the old updater inside the suite cannot automatically upgrade the program this time.
Please follow these steps to update manually:
- Backup User Data: Locate your
User Datafolder inside the root directory of Marvel Realm. Copy and save this folder to a different location (like your Desktop). - Delete and Re-download: Delete your existing Marvel Realm Suite folder. Then, Click Here to Download the new version.
- Note: You must be logged in for the link to work. If you are not, the login page will open; once you log in, you can continue.
- Install: Unzip the downloaded file.
- Restore Data: Copy your backed-up
User Datafolder into the new suite's root directory. - Launch: Open the new Marvel Realm Suite. Your account credentials and settings will be automatically applied.
We are glad to have you with us on this journey. We hope you enjoy the fresh look of the suite. Stay tuned-more good news and great games are just around the corner!
