Default How to Play PotBS Invincible using US Client

Ok, this is a temperary fix i found which works (for me), so if ur game crashes or something dont blame me =P. Not endorsed by FLS or anything either.

Note:
US Client: refers to the folder you installed your US Sony PotBS game.
Bigpond Client: refers to the folder you installed your Bigpond PotBS game.

Heres how it works.

1) Download the Installer from bigpond's site (just the first file).
2) Install the game (do not install in the same folder as your US client or ur gonna overwrite everything).
3) Copy over the pigg folder from US Client to Bigpond Client.
4) Run PotbsUpdate.exe on Bigpond Client till game launches.
5) Exit Game.
6) on the US Client rename the following files: "PotBS.exe" and "pirates.ini"
(i called them "PotBS.exe SOE" and "pirates.ini SOE" but the naming doesnt matter just so they do not get overwritten.)
7) Copy over the following files from the Bigpond Client: "PotBS.exe", "pirates.ini", "PotBSUpdate.exe".
8) Now you can play on the Invincible server by clicking on PotBS.exe.

9) to Swap back simply swap over the files again.

Note: You still require an individual PAID account to play either the SOE or Bigpond client.

Hope this helps.

Cheers, Emonessity

PS: yes its an ugly fix, but it saves people an extra 5gigs with a 2nd client, which is what really counts.
