Read all the steps carefully if you want to avoid installation problems. Everything you need is here.
1) First of all you will need the Lineage II Chronicle 3 Client
Install it and don't forget the installation folder name and path
Search
www.google.com
for L2 C3 Client Installation cause it is not longer available at NC Soft's website.
Within next month the installation file will be also uploaded to BnB forum so you can download it from here without searching the internet.
2) DO NOT UPDATE THE CLIENT. Cause you will download c4 files that are not compatible with bnb server.
3) Then you will need the Bits&Bytes Lineage II C3 Patch
Install it to the same location as the Client exactly! (You need only one of the two following files)
files.bnb.gr/PUB/MMORPG/L2/BnB_C
... pdater.exe
c3.bnb.gr/patch/BnB_C3_Patch_With_Updater.exe
4) Download BnB L2 C3 Launcher with auto soulshot function and extract it into your C3 installation folder. Chose BnBC3Launcher.exe, right click to it> send to> Create a desktop shortcut. From now on, you will launch the game through that Shortcut. When running the Launcher you will notice a Help option. Click it to learn more info about how the Launcher works. Finally click Launcher's button "Lineage II" to run the autoupdater/game.

5) If you get an EXPIRED error when clicking "Lineage II", save the file below into your C3 client installation folder. DO NOT RUN IT. BnB C3 Launcher detects it automatically. Now you can complete step 4 and run the game through "Lineage II" button.
