Quake 2 Version 3.14

Note: If you have version 3.12 of Quake 2 then you'll first need to download the 3.12 to 3.13 patch. After you've patched Quake 2 to 3.13, download the 3.13 to 3.14 patch above. If you have a version of Quake 2 that's lower than 3.12 just download the big 3.13 patch and then the 3.13 to 3.14. Here's the links for the 3.12 to 3.13 patch.
