It’s probably an issue in the 2009 1.36 Linux release available on the ioquake3 website, such as broken bots in x86\_64 version. [Building ioquake3 from source](https://wiki.ioquake3.org/Building_ioquake3_on_Linux) should solve the issue.

If I remember correctly Team Arena fails to load `ui/menus.txt` which uses the same method (botlib C preprocessor) as bot files that fail to load in 2009 1.36 Linux x86\_64.
