Test Server Woes

[livewire82]

my question is this i know we are now suppose to use the " test " launcher but do we need to keep the old launcher installed? or does the test launcher download all the game material? because while i still have the old content i installed the test launcher and it completed all the updates but when i got to my select pirate screen it started downloading something called ruble shack and it stopped at 14% but then i uninstalled the old launcher and now i'm getting nothing the launcher starts showing the splash screen and then disapears but never starts the game??
