[FASTBOAT TOUGH]

Don,
**** happens!?! Not everyone can be as flawless as me, just remember how "boring" my submission process was for this patch.

Suhir,
I maintain plausible deniability for the following, let's just assume a certain unidentified retired naval submariner might possibly have twisted Dons arm to play a joke on you to see how fast you'd "spin up" at that news on your picklist. It's a theory only (??) which I cannot at this time prove or unproved given the current data I have.

However, I will do my best to find out by using my refs to see if this is possibly related to a disinformation campaign. We might or may not uncover the truth in our lifetime, however I do take comfort in that the "The Truth Is Out There"

To both game downloads NO PROBLEMS

Browser: Win EDGE latest version. I've never had issues with this browser in the past but recognize Patch A had an "error".

Processor: AMD Quad Core.

Ram: Kingston Hyper X FURY 32 GB Auto/Manual Overclocking

Security: Primary: Bitdefender Total Security/

Secondary: Win Defender in the background. NOTE: This is where I had to take a couple of seconds to remember what to do as this ONLY happens here when downloading the games patches.

As you're going through the "are you sure you want to download this" process, on the second dialog box it will appear in the lower right that you can ONLY click on go back.

Don't!!!! Underneath the message at the top click below that on the left side which will open a box on the lower left side to allow you to continue with the download.

Download after file is opened: WinSPMBT: <8s.

WinSPWWII: I couldn't count that fast @ One 1-thousand-bit rate something just <2s.

What's left is to bounce the release against my submissions (Something that Don knows I do every year I have something submitted and look at my Non-USN Brazilian new "A-4" pictures.) and update my ORNX Ukrainian Russian capture numbers since submission.

GREAT JOB Andy and Don!!!!

And as always, the players that give us the strength to continue and the ones also that contribute to the other areas of the game.!!!!

CINCLANTHOME just got back from a week at the daughters, I believe I should be elsewhere at this time.

Regards,
Pat

FWIW I now have 16 different copies of the installers in my downloads folder using the links and procedures I have provided so this should work for everyone

No joy in downloading via Edge or Google Chrome. I've reported it as "safe" to MicroSoft, but don't know if that'll do any good...

Did you try right-clicking the "click here" on the line......"If your download doesn't start automatically click here." and use the "copy link address" option and paste it into a new tab of your browser?

I know this is a PITA ( TRUST ME!) and I know it should work just clicking on it but there are so many browsers and so many different "security" background programs that it seems NOTHING is "simple" any longer

Downloaded fine through Firefox with duckduckgo. just click through the Windows warning popups to install

PLEASE NOTE:

The patches posted yesterday for both games ARE ONLY THIS YEARS WORK..... they are not consolidators that update over a number of versions they are just this years work. The 2022 consolidation patch has been reposted on the Shrapnel download page for anyone who may have skipped a year or two

I'm not the only one that makes mistakes?

P.S.
Download (of bugged patch) worked just fine as did the install.

They made some changes since this morning and it works just fine for me again.... no pasting links just a short wait and the DL starts

[DRG]

The "good news" is Shrapnel made some changes and for me anyway the DL starts within 8 seconds on its own without having to jump through the other hoops.

I will let everyone know when the new "B" installers are ready

[DRG]

Well it was all your picklists I forgot so maybe you're bad luck ........
