Cannot run the game on macbook m1 #589

I'm running Ventura 13.2.1 (22D68). After extracting ioquake3_notarized.zip file and moving the ioquake3.app to Applications, I copied the pak0.pk3 file to /Users/username/Library/Application Support/Quake3/baseq3/pak0.pk3. The game doesn't start - it shows an error with:

Point Release files are missing. Please re-install the 1.32 point release. Also check that your ioq3 executable is in the correct place and that every file in the "baseq3" directory is present and readable. See "/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Quake3/baseq3/crashlog.txt" for details.

crashlog.txt content:

3539 files in pk3 files
Point Release files are missing. Please re-install the 1.32 point release. Also check that your ioq3 executable is in the correct place and that every file in the "baseq3" directory is present and readable

I tried following the macosinstallation, but the link to test builds (step 3) that is present there leads to an empty page.

What am I missing?

You need to install the point release files (basically the patches the game received between 1.0 and 1.32).

You can get them here: https://ioquake3.org/extras/patch-data/
