OK, we are now totally back to normal. Both game's 2022 consolidator upgrade patches are back on each of Shrapnel's DL pages so anyone who has skipped a year or two updating now can do that before installing the 2023 patch.
THE MOST IMPORTANT PART IS ANYONE WHO HAS ALREADY DOWNLOADED THE 2023 PATCH DOES NOT HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN unless in the case of MBT they Downloaded it before mid-afternoon May 1. If you did please go to the link below and download the "B" version that has the updated USMC picklists. If you downloaded that patch after mid afternoon on May 1 you will be OK just check the "picklists" folder of the game. If you see files dated 2023 you are OK, if the latest ones are 2022 you need to DL and install them again
So......
The patches posted May 1/2023 for both games ARE ONLY THIS YEARS WORK.....
They are not consolidators that update a number of versions
If you have been updating the game every year this will not affect you and you will be up-to date but
if you have not updated the game for a couple of years you will need to install the 2022 consolidator patch before installing the 2023 patch
