Note: If you install Quake 3:
Team Arena after installing this point release, you will experience
problems running the game. If you wish to install Team Arena after
applying the point release, please reinstall the download version of this point
release after properly installing Team Arena (the auto-updater
will not function in this situation, so you will need to have the downloaded
point release file to properly install).
If you run into
ANY problems with Quake III and it’s point releases, we advise removing
everything Quake III related on your system (see above for instructions), and
starting from scratch. To reinstall the original versions of Quake III and Team
Arena see (A). To reinstall the Ultimate Quake or Quake III: Gold versions of
Quake III see (B).
(A)
Reinstall
the game from the original disks, then download and install the 1.31 version of
the point release. From this point, you will be able to check for updates by
running the "Check for Quake III Arena Updates" program in your
Windows start menu. We recommend using the Auto-Updater when updating Quake
III.
(B)
Reinstall
the game from the original disks, then simply run “Check for Quake III Arena
Updates” in the Quake III Arena folder in the Windows Start Menu.
