Now open the Client.exe

This will now open the Client which will download all the required base files for your client.

Step 6 Starting the server

Open your server.exe in Crystal Mir 2 > Server (Not the build folder)

This will now create all the required files for the Server.

You will now see the Server with the following error:

If you would like to Download a pre-made database, go straight to Step 7.

If you would like to start your server with no database (Create your own) then close your server down and open Setup.ini located in Crystal Mir 2 > Server > Configs

Change EnforceDBChecks=True > EnforceDBChecks=False and ignore Step 7.

Step 7

Downloading a database

Head over to Github Suprcode Database Releases
