Patch question

[phil74501]

I'm going to start playing again after years of not playing. I have all the patches from like 2.0 up to V12. I'm downloading patch 15, 16, 17. So the question is, do I need to install all the patches in sequence to be totally up to date? I noticed one or two said "consolidated." What does that mean? Basically I need to know which patches to install and in what order. Thanks

Consolidated means the upgrade contains the patches listed in the DL description

IF you do indeed have V12 already installed you will see that at the bottom of the screen when the game loads up ( right at the bottom under the "Map Editor" button

So...... if it does show V12 then what you need are the last two patches

First install.......

winSPMBT V16 Upgrade (2022)
The V16 Patch updates winSPMBT Version 10 and up to Version 16

That will upgrade your V12 game to V16

Then DL and install .........

winSPMBT V17 Upgrade (2023)
The V17 Patch updates winSPMBT Version 16 to Version 17

Actually I don't have the game installed at all. I was getting to reinstall it, then patch it to the latest version. Last time I played the game was probably around version 10 or 11...I kept downloading the new patches just to make sure I had them. IIRC, at one point you had to install every single patch...starting at version 2...in order for everything to come out right.

Go to the DL section and DL and install in order after you find out what version you do have now
