+== Downloading the launcher  ==
-Note that these torrents are created for the 2.9.46.2/2.09.46.03 Build.<br/>
-Using this method on future builds might work, but it will most likely try to download newer/more files from SOE servers.<br/>

-== 1. Downloading the launcher (Optional) ==
+== External Download ==
-Unless this launcher works: http://www.burningsea.com/page/support/download<br/>
+External download should not be needed anymore. The new installer and launcher can be downloaded here https://burningsea.com/download
+For issue with the new launcher take a look on the [https://wiki.burningsea.com/en/troubleshooting_tech_help&faq#installation new wiki]
-You may download the complete launcher on the link below<br/>
-http://torrents.thepiratebay.se/7094124/PotBS_2.9.46.2_Launcher_Files.7094124.TPB.torrent<br/>
-This torrent contains the entire launcher and will download into a folder called "Pirates of the Burning Sea"
-NOTE:
-I accidently included my pirates_local.ini and alchemy_local.ini in this torrent<br/>
-If you want a default game configuration, please delete these and<br/>
-restart the launcher
-== 2. Downloading the game's "PIG" files ==
-http://torrents.thepiratebay.se/7072552/PotBS_2.9.46.2_PIG_Files.7072552.TPB.torrent<br/>
-This torrent contains the game's "PIG" files and will download into a folder called "piggs"
-== 3. Move files and folders ==
-Now when the torrents have finished downloading.<br/>
-Place the "piggs" folder that you downloaded into your "Pirates of the Burning Sea" directory, replace any existing files.<br/>
-Win7 default location is:<br/>
-C:\Users\Public\Sony Online Entertainment\Installed Games\Pirates of the Burning Sea<br/><br/>
-(If you did step 1, this path will be wherever you extracted the launcher download)
-<br/><br/>
-The result could be like this.<br/>
-Example structure:<br/>
-C:\Users\Public\Sony Online Entertainment\Installed Games\Pirates of the Burning Sea<br/>
-C:\Users\Public\Sony Online Entertainment\Installed Games\Pirates of the Burning Sea\LaunchPad.exe<br/>

-== 4. Running/Validating ==
-Run "LaunchPad.exe"<br/>
-The launcher should now check/validate all existing files<br/>
-If you have any problems, try deleting the cache folder and the following files in your game directory:<br/>
-.DownloadError.txt<br/>
-.DownloadStats.txt<br/>
-.DownloadInfo.txt<br/>
-<br/>
-And then try running the launcher again.<br/>
