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

At least I know SOMEONE can get this without grief

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

[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

What?!?
I'm not the only one that makes mistakes?

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

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

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

The corrected "B" version of the MBT patch has now been posted


Link To game info page

https://www.shrapnelgames.com/Camo_W.../MBT_page.html


There was an entire file folder missing with all the new USMC picklists

ANYONE who downloaded a copy of the MBT update patch May 1 2023 should, to be safe, Download it again

The new upgrade/patch zip is named winSPMBT Ver17_Update(2023)-B.ZIP


The reason for this is I managed to miss putting in all the new USMC picklists in the picklist folder in the V17 update folder and this new "B" version has that error corrected.

I apologize to everyone for this but sometimes when you do something over and over and over sometimes no matter how many checks we make we miss something.

The "tell" if you Downloaded the blooper version is just before a normal install started YOU WOULD NOT HAVE SEEN THIS MESSAGE




IF YOU DID NOT SEE THAT MESSAGE OR CANNOT RECAL IF YOU DID PLEASE GO BACK AND DOWNLOAD THE v17 UPDATE AGAIN.

I do apologize again for this, when we tested this we didn't see the message but I explained it away as there not being any write-protect files this time and I SHOULD HAVE realized why it did not show up....... because there were no new files overwriting old ones

@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?
