NOTE TO USERS PLANNING TO UNINSTALL OR REINSTALL QUAKE III, TEAM ARENA, ANY VERSION OF A POINT RELEASE: If you are planning to uninstall Quake III we STRONGLY recommend following these steps.

- Remove any and all point releases from the Windows Control Panel Add/Remove Programs application.

- Remove Quake III Team Arena from the same application.

- Remove Quake III from the same application.

- Delete the Quake III Arena directory on your hard drive.

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 1.32 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.

For a comprehensive list of what’s changed recently with Quake III Arena and Team Arena, please see the readme included with the 1.30 point release. This release is primarily a security release aimed a combating cheating.

A note on PunkBuster and how it works...

PunkBuster is an automatically self-updating Anti-Cheat software system. The PunkBuster system is designed to hold all participants accountable by scanning the game computers looking for known cheats, game hacks, and exploits similar to the way Anti-Virus software would scan a computer looking for a virus. PunkBuster is optional, however, without it you will not be able to play multiplayer on PunkBuster enabled servers.

When first installed, PunkBuster will be disabled. To enable PunkBuster so that you can join PunkBuster enabled servers, click 'Multiplayer' from the main menu. Find the clickable item in the upper right portion of the in-game server browser screen that says PunkBuster: Disabled and click it. If you have any problems getting PunkBuster enabled or any issues related to PunkBuster during gameplay, please visit for support. The website contains documentation (including a FAQ), forums and contact information for email-based support.
