IF YOU HAVE THE STEAM VERSION ALREADY:
Download the steam version from your game library. Then right click the game from the library list once it's installed, go to properties, then the general tab, and under launch options, paste the following exactly as it appears into that line.
-siteconfigurl=mhtahiti.com/SiteConfig.xml
That will launch the steam game as normal (and you can use SteamInputs instead of DS4Windows, but make sure you select the generic 'gamepad' template instead of the default it starts on or there will be issues), but redirects the game to the Tahiti servers instead of the dead official servers. Play as normal after creating an account.
The "InstallDependencies" folder within the game directory has some additional updates for things like MSVCR dll files. If you get an error for one of these, chances are you just have to dig into the 3 MSVCR folders and run each update to install said DLL files.
To get the game working on the Steam Deck, instructions state that you need to use the MHPatcher tool to patch the win64 version of the game's launcher, which will then allow the game to load up properly. Get the patcher tool from here:
https://github.com/Crypto137/MHPatcher
Direct it to the Unreal Engine 3 / Binaries / Win64 folder in the game files, and select the Marvel Heroes Omega.exe
We are currently on Project Tahiti Server version 0.6, but when the game is updated to 1.0, the 'complete' release, there will be a server wipe, so don't get too invested in your beta test builds unless you don't mind starting from scratch and doing it all over again! (Which lets be honest, we're all MHO addicts and we'll all do it over again)
Special thanks to the folks behind the MHTahiti revival of the game. It was ex Gazillion CEO David Von Dorman who caused the death of the game. Dude was a sex predator and stalker, and was stalking several female employees. When Disney found out that it was reported and nothing had been done (he would not step down), they cut ties with the studio, which, having just spent money on the porting of MHO to consoles, killed the studio. Old fucker couldn't keep his putrid dick in his pants so MHO and the studio had to die for his sins. (He's changed his name a few times now)
Any questions, drop them in the comments. And give a damned thumbs up for MHO! The god damned algorithm fucks everybody over, and need to spread the MHO word.
