That was my experience with Edge as well. Of the three I have.... Chrome, Firefox and Edge it was Edge that took the longest to convince that yes.... I really do want this but when I did it started DLing right away..... this is why I avoid using Edge

That said , IDK why this time this is such a PITA for everyone. The procedure I used posting they are available was the same basically as every other year

I use chrome and the link in DRG's post just blinks when I click it, nothing else happens.

If I right click and select open in new tab, the tab just disappears.

If I right click and select open link in new window and new browser window appears but is black with the URL in the URL box.

If I strip out this: "winSPMBT%20Ver17_Update(2023).zip" then I get a web page (old fashioned looking) where I can see all the download zips since 2013.

So that link makes it a bit confusing for folks.

You might need to just post a link to the games page instead ?

On Chrome the main pages don't work either, you are redirected to a page that says your download will begin in 8 seconds, 30 seconds later no change, if you click on the link: If your download doesn't start automatically click here. Nothing happens.

I am only trying to click on the patch for both games.

Now I kind of wish I had saved the first link that I stripped out the zip stuff since now I can't download either patch.

If anyone has trouble and Chrome is being a PITA try this link it works for me.

QUESTION

Is anyone able to simply click on the link to the update on the Game page and the update actually starts downloading in under 8 seconds?

Yep. No issues.

@DRG,
My Firefox browser on Win11 downloaded this quickly w/o any issues. Fastest of all patch updates ever. I just downloaded at 5:45pm Eastern USA time so it's the B version patch....right?
