1.Do I have to install multiple patches, if so in what order?
2.I tried patching straight to 1.32 but now my game crashes a lot more...
3.Whenever adding certain bots, there are missing files, for example when I add Bitterman to the game (bot) I get "Could not find file/path/sound/drown.wav - Using Default" every time. I've done numerous reinstalls, don't tell me iD forgot to put certain characters sound effects in the game?
I know these are a lot of questions, I apologize. Any help is appreciated...
What Operating System are you using and what video card do you have? Do you have the latest video drivers?
The 1.32 patch is all you need to install to bring the game up-to-date.
Have you tried using a different engine (like IOQuake3) once you have the game updated? If so is it the same issue?
And finally, just what is happening when the game crashes? Does the game always crash in the same way? Any more details could really help.
I am not sure what video card I have, but I have 1.87 Ghz and 3GB RAM
Installing from CD-Rom, when I install it (before any updates) and check the version, it says version 1.11
I'm not sure what you mean by this, is this different from the Quake 3 engine I'm using? Please explain.
After updating to 1.32 I can be playing a normal match (single or multiplayer) and the game will just freeze. The only way for me to close it is to open Task Manager.

When adding certain bots (Bitterman, for example) I get this message
"Could not find file/path/sound/drown.wav - Using Default"
Is this a glitch, my own fault, or a problem due to iD?
Next thing to try is make sure you have all the correct files. In your Quake 3 folder, you only need the 'baseq3' folder and a 'Quake3.exe' file. You can and should remove everything else.
In the baseq3 folder, you should have the following files: pak0.pk3, pak1.pk3, pak2.pk3, pak3.pk3, pak4.pk3, pak5.pk3, pak6.pk3, pak7.pk3, pak8.pk3
In order to try and fix the problem, remove all other files.
The missing bot sound files can be ignored.
Start the game and report back :]
IOQuake3 is a custom version of Q3 which has a number of tweaks and improvements. Once you have the default version of Q3 running, I would suggest grabbing a copy of IOQuake3 from here: ioquake3.org/get-it/
So I install Q3 from my CD, update to 1.32, then download IOQUAKE3 and put it in my Q3 directory?

Yes, just place IOQuake3 in to your Quake 3 folder, then click on it.

Don't do this.
This will create more problems, particularly with checksum protection
