The patch likely has nothing to do with it.

And I don't know why Quake III has the white screen. You might try deleting your config and trying to launch it then. That solves it for me (sometimes).

1.16N which isnt "right out of the box" in all cases..

it started normally (showing the black screen first) and I was like "yay! cool" then it went white again =P

Funny actually, but I've never seen a 1.00 executable. Even the version on my CD (which I bought when Q3A hit the shelves in Europe) is 1.11.

Regarding servers, there are still a bunch of 1.30/1.31 servers out there for people without a cd key and even some 1.16n servers which host the infamous yet so obscure NoGhost mod.
