If you're talking abut point release 1.32,( otherwise known as protocol 68), then you'll need it to get on most servers since most of them upgraded to 68 a while ago. Without it, you can still get on remaining servers with the same version as you, i.e 43, 66, 67. Download 1.32 and run it. Also get hold of pbweb.exe from http://www.evenbalance.com and run that from your pb folder. That will update what is called punkbuster, a cheat protection built into 1.32.

Get 'all seeing eye' from http://www.udpsoft.com/. This will allow you to see all available quake3 servers, their ping, how many players are on each server, and most importantly, what version they're running.

Double click the install file for the patch and keep hitting next until it installs. It only updates your game.

btw :icon19: :)

If it says' this server is using protocol 67' or any number except 68, then you won't be able to join that server. You need one that is 68.

pbweb.exe also needs to be run from within the folder called 'pb' whilst you're online.

Put the 1.32 into your baseq3 folder and run it from there.
Then get pbweb.exe from my link above and run that from within the pb folder which is in your main quake3 arena folder.

In all seeing eye, click on the '+' sign next to quake 3 arena, and you'll see all the gametypes.

:icon28:

Ok.

Simply put.

Download the 1.32 patch for Quake3

Although you need to understand!

YOU MUST HAVE THE FULL VERSION OF QUAKE3.

AGAIN. YOU MUST HAVE THE FULL VERSION. ;)

Ok now that we got that simple thing out of the way.

DRuM already explained downloading all seeing eye and downloading and running the quake3 patch.

You've actually gotten quite a few instances of people explaining how
to get things going for quake3.

Frankly you should start back with DRuM's FIRST reply and do it
EXACTLY as mentioned.

If you still don't get it follow the other examples after DRuM's reply.

*big smile*

If you still need help>? Just give us an address and we'll come over and install and then play the game for you...

OH DAMN I sound grumpy... *Shit*

ok look.

You've downloaded the [url=Point Release 1.32: ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/quake3 ... se_132.exe]1.32 Point Release for Quake[/url]

YOU DON'T NEED TO PUT THE FILE ANYWHERE.

When your done downloading the 1.32 PR. RUN it. Don't put it anywhere just run it.

As already said. Run the patch. INSTALL everything default and YES instal PunkBuster when it asks you in the 1.32 PR. If you don't
install PunkBuster while instaling the latest patch? You won't be playing on most servers.

It's that simple. Seriously. There's something your trying to hard at while installing that's mucking up things.

Do not stray from teh default install of the 1.32 PR patch. Just remember to simply click on NEXT and YES when they come up in the install process for the 1.32 PR patch.

I am repeating things quite abit in my explanaition. I hope the repeating will actually be seen and you get the patch installed correctly.

So you can be out there playing the game and having some fun like we've all had at one time or another.

DAMN this is one long explanation.

*laughs*

I hope you tak the time to read all of this reply and are able to get things installed.

As for ALL seeing eye?

ALL_SEEING EYE <----the website would be your better bet with the FAQ and Manual ;)

*waves*

ok thanks...

but both of u r saying different stuff?

When your done downloading the 1.32 PR. RUN it. Don't put it anywhere just run it.

Put the 1.32 into your baseq3 folder and run it from there.

which one?

If you install the Patch correctly.
You install PB along with the pbweb.exe file DRuM mentioned you should download.

run the patch.

READ each prompt it pops up.

saying yes or next to everything.

Yeah, do what piecemaker said.

Or, do what piecemaker said that I'd already said to do.

Alternatively, just do what I said in the first place/

If that doesn't work, you can always fall back on moguls advice. :idea:

Short of all that, there's an option to play doom3 instead :lol:

it shouldn't say anything about using protocol 68 since 1.32 IS protocol 68.

start the game, and bring down the "console" by pressing the tilde key "~". in the lower right hand corner, let us know what version it says you're running. if you installed 1.32 correctly, that's what it will say.

but i didn't tell you to do anything. re-read piecemaker's post, uninstall quake, re-read piecemaker's post, re-install quake, then re-read piecemaker's post.

once you get over the patch hurdle, you'll be loving the game. don't get discouraged.

Now I feel sorry for this guy.
medalist, don't give up, I want you to get this.

Did you see a screen that says ' quake3 arena point release 1.32 setup' yet when installing q3pointrelease_ 132.exe ?

To be honest, I don't think it matters where the file is or where you install it to, the game finds it . I mean, my q3pointrelease_ 132.exe file is in baseq3, but it can just be in the main quake3 folder as well, doesn't matter I don't think. Well, try installing it again, and let it install to the quake 3 arena folder anyway.

Is it 'Quake 3 Team Arena' you have instead of 'Quake 3 Arena'? Maybe that's what the problem is? Perhaps someone else can confirm if team arena would cause this to happen. Perhaps then if you've got TEAM arena it'll only let you play on team arena servers as opposed to normal quake 3 arena, but I know nothing about q3TA. :shrug:

Ok, it sounds like you have the DEMO version of the game and not the FULL version. Piecemaker did actually say you need the FULL version. If you only have the demo, that's your problem right there. Demo version can only be played on protocol 43 servers, which are also non punkbuster. There are a limited amount of demo servers left. Go get the full version and you'll be in quake3 heaven. :)
